Engine wiring loom will have to be changed, just up to the passenger footwell though, plug+play job! You should also change the brake master cylinder due to upgrade of the brakes! Your best changing the fuel pump when the engine is out and not after like me.................nightmare!!

Your prob putting it into a G-Limited import. so dont know if this applys as I had a UK N/A, but I had to change the gear linkages and the gearlever & base. Also best doing while engine is out.

Can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned.

Noticed your post about transplant, was wondering if the n/a engine was good [-o< cos if it is I would be interested to know how much you would want for it?

Don't be fooled into believing this - it's rarely a plug and play job and even if you try it and it works, there will be systems connected to each other that shouldn't be but don't seem to show any apparent ill effects.

Make sure you pin everything out first and do the job properly.

Just re-read your post and realised your target kit is a UK model. Definitely not a plug and play swap.
