it's a lot of work, especially if it's the later fly by wire throttle type.

Mounting it should be fairly easy, convert to the Mk1 cable actuated TB if you've got the later cable-less version. You might need a minor mod to you exhaust to allow it to connect to the F4R Down pipe. Getting it running - It'll be easier to run aftermarket management such as Omex, Emerald, Luminition, KMH, MegaSquirt etc so be prepared for some wiring of an new ECU plug.

Yo'uve got all the ancils yeah... manifolds, alternator, etc?

As mick said, will be a ball ache on OE ecu, even IF you have the ecu, transponder, and fob...which you likely dont.

[keasty]

yes got the whole shooting match ecu starter alternator transponder the lot thanks for info

[MicKPM]

You get the fusebox?

[keasty]

fuse box dont be silly youve got to forget some thing

[MicKPM]

Well there goes your hope for getting it to run on OE Management then cos it's all coded to the ECU. Looks like aftermarket is the only option so you budget will have to increase by at least £800-1000 now for the supply and mapping of an ECU
