sport conversion
Hi guys
looking for abit of advice im currently converting my brothers uk prosport to a uk turbo. they are both my99 and the only difference in the cars as far as i can see is the turbo. we have taken the engine out of the uk turbo and are getting ready to rip out the n/a engine and replace but would like to know if the wiring needs replacing in order for it to work. we have already swapped the rear drums to running discs and we are changing the sport box for a 5 speed sti box.
can anyone give me any advice to get it finished?
cheers
Dan

The fact you are asking this question at this stage is worring to say the least!! you shoud have done your homework/planing this job out first... you will need the ecu form the turbo car which also means you will need its engine loom, as chance has it by the sounds of things you have matched the my99 of both cars making the loom swap an eaiser job

ive looked for hours on the web and cant find anything on this. the clutch is different on the uk turbo can i get away with it or do we have to change the clutch completely. to be honest its just a project that we thought we would have a crack out but im struggling to find any help.
taking out the wiring loom this weekend looking at doing the same to his sport next weekend so cheers for the advice

The shell is the same, thats it, pretty much everything else is different and its not worth the time or effort to convert one, plus it costs you more in insurance than a turbo as all the mods add to the cost.
My advice, sell the sport, buy a turbo.
