i think you need to do some work on the wiring loom, other than that its a straight fit

VTS this isn the best excuse ever to get a vts engine in there

[gazza808]

basically any vtr engine will do, single plug or 3 plug ecu,
cause at the end of teh day if its 3 plug just lob your single plug ecu on to it,

jobs a gooden
