Nice job man. I'll be doing this sometime in the future when I install my stroker........ I sure hope the Canadian dollar recovers soon so I can have RG start building it and I am not paying $1.45 for every US Dollar for the parts and labour.

I have a newly acquired spare block and i'm also considering a stroker. That exchange rate is a killer for you.

Good for you man. Years ago I did the same with my Audi in the driveway. I spent half the first day labeling every vacuum line and electrical connection prior to disassembly. I even had several labeled zip lock bags for bolts that were removed. That prep work paid off and the car started right up without issues.

Wow - what a great contribution to the forum. Thanks for taking the time to document... Certainly better than the ridiculous bickering I see in almost every other thread.

As an update, I just pulled another motor in similar fashion. Two new things:
1. I didnt need to remove the headlights. Came off attached to the radiatr support, just removed one t30 bolt securing it to the fender on each headlight. 2. I didnt remove the steering rack. I disconnected the tie rod ends from the hubs, but i left the rack bolted to the subframe. |

Super impressive DIY! I've heard of people with other motor swaps unbolting the a/c compressor and condenser and putting them off to the side or below the engine (keeping the freon in the lines) to avoid having to recharge the a/c system. Do you think that might be possible to do on these cars as well or is there something preventing that from working with an S65 replacement?
EDIT: Success, this made my engine swap easier. If you remove the engine up and out of the engine bay (similar to the video below) the a/c compressor can be unbolted from the engine and can be strapped to the side of the engine bay as the engine is lifted out. The entire a/c system can be left sealed. Thanks to ek9hatch00 for confirming.

I know this is an old thread but did you need to do anything with the laptop after you swapped everything over. We have nearly finished doing the same, finishing off fluid this week but worried about pressing the go button... Just wondering if you had to us ISTA?

I did not. This was a manual car though. If you’re switching to a different DCT transmission, I believe you will need to program the new DCT trans to the car.
