    engine conversion from akl to agu

    hi im looking to do an engine swap from akl (1.6 8v) to agu (1.8 20v turbo) can anyone help me im wandering how much work is involved. I used to be a mechanic and am a trained welder so I know my way around a car, its the electrics that are getting to me is it just a plug in job or do I have to splice looms?

    I can get engine, box, loom,ecu and clocks, is there any other parts I need?

    any help will be much appreciated!!!

    It's not completely plug and play, Stan has done one and there's another being done now. You need both sets of wiring diagrams handy.

    Seems like a lot of work for a car that would be sub a grand to buy in the UK.
