What would be needed to do a engine conversion.
Drop a VTR lump in...

What other things will i need from the actual engine?
Is there much work involved?

I've been offered vtr engine with wires and loom.
What other bits will i need.

Thanks.

Well I'm not sure what I need extra, I will obviously have everything that is on my 1.4, just wanted to know if i need any extra bits to upgrade to vtr.

Do i need ecu to be changed, and things like that?
Or would it be easier to get garage to sort it.
