Ul need the engine loom. The injectors. Also the interior loom that runs from the passenger footwell through to the engine bay-this will allow you just to plug and play-otherwise ul need to do rewiring. Probably need a whole new exhaust-manifold,downpipe, cat and box

The engine bay is the same size so no problem there. Not to sure about Gen 4 engine gearbox wise as i have only seen them in caldina's as standard I have seen pictures of swaps but not sure how they did it as the caldina is four wheel drive. Now there's an idea for someone far more talanted than me. Sean you could make the lambo 4x4
