My search continues for a 4th gen, wanted a JDM but a nice UK has come up.

Easy to change the engine spec?

JDM ecu in a UK car work ok?

Quite straight forward I think, you'll have to use the jap ECU and add the wiring for the knock sensor. The ECU should be fine as the're both OBD 1.

So just an ECU and knock sensor wiring?
