Tuning 16vt to 20vt conversion

[Steve-o_bc]

Hey guys im thinking of buying a coupe as a track project. Spotted a 16vt over here for breaking and just want to know is the 20vt engine a straight swap?
Also i know i need the gearbox but what about the wiring thats already in the coupe? Do i just need to get the loom, brain and plug?
Wont need the brakes as ill be doing some work to the engine so upgraded brakes will be put on.

All comments and help welcome and thanks in advance lol.

Hi Steve!

Without going into too much info, it's a right ballache, and it's far cheaper to sell whatever you have and buy a 20VT (and vica-versa). There's loads that needs changing, it's not straightforward.

Sounds more complicated than it's worth.
