Lots fits. Just depends on how much work you want to do :-)

Incidentally I have a full h22a5 swap available. Engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, ancillaries and keys :shock:

Near cambridge. I think the only thing you'd need would be mounts and possibly Driveshafts

Yep, if you want more power, the easiest/best 'straight deal's thing to do is to drop in an h22. It's a bit more involved in a 5g than on a 4g (due to the coded immobiliser) but all still do-able and Ek9sid has everything you need there, by the looks - though you might need to pick up the manifold and downpipe to match.

:lol: yep, that is a fair bit of a trek. I haven't got any plans on venturing up that way atm.

But if you do decide otherwise, this'll be going relatively cheap as I need the space lol

Engine mounts should be the same. Either way they are cheap to get. Should be a straight forward swap.
