There are lots of little differences that do not make this a drop-in swap.

Its generally a good idea to stick to series when doing motor swaps:
S4 1Bt > Into S4 NA Chasis
S5 1Bt > Into S5 NA Chasis

You should be able to find a thread about the details if you do a search.

true but at the same time my s4 body is a weebit lighter n the s5 motor a weebit stronger, I searched "s5 swap", "s5 into s4", "s5 motor swap" but nothing has came up lol

Theres stuff in the archives about this. You will need a wiring harness from an S5 and the ecu, the gauge cluster too unless you want to re-pin that.

You can also use s5 shortblock with s4 frontcover and all the ***** around the s4 longbloc.
