Engine:
Manufacture new engine mountings
Modify oil sump for oil pickup and to clear cross member,
Exhaust is now on the other side of the car, do need to modify the routing of the fuel and brake lines,
New 10mm fuel line and use the existing fuel line at the return line,
New oil coolers,
New power steering coolers
Transmission:
Get hold of a Altezza RS200 bell-housing or transmission,
New transmission mountings,
Had to cut the transmission tunnel because could not get the engine to sit further back due to water ports,
Longer propshaft,
New Intake and exhaust manifolds,
ECU:
New ECU,
Only cut the engine out of the original ecu so that can still work for the whole car and the new ecu only works for the engine,
The rest of the modifications is to your discretion for more power, brake power eye candy etc.
