Is there any guides to this anywhere? if no would anybody be so kind enough to give me a quick list of what parts are needed? ive not worked on a car for years, ive only done basic stuff like brakes and suspension, so fitting anew engine is completely new to me so may need to ask for some advice when ive got evething and don't know what to do next lol, my biggest concern is wiring! is there much wiring involved in this conversion?

easy then :)

use same engine mounts
Same gearbox crade and mounts just get a s1 or s2 rs turbo gearbox
Can use same rad and fan
Get some sort of intercooler in there, could use a std rst one or maybe a cossie one
extend the thermostat wiring
fit an external swirl pot or just get your standard tank modded to accept an rst swirl pot
you'll need to chop a bit out of the front crossmember for the downpipe
and obviously sort out the wiring side

but tbh its a fairly straightforward swap and you'll find that out as your doing it
