   At the moment i got a 1.5 dirty diesel, and im thinking of putting a 'S' lump under it.
   
   Would it be much hassle?
   
   I know i would need the 'S' engine, loom + ecu and gearbox...will fuel tank etc all be ok?

   no youd need to swap all the tank as tbh no matter how mch you flush the fuel system there will be diesel still there
   so new tank and new lines through the car

   Not that that will cost much, no one buys fuel tanks theres hundreds about. Ive got one you can have for feck all. Lines are best replacing anyway Ive found the OEM ones are wank

   Fair enough.
   I might look at doing this in the future.
   
   Plans would be, VTS lump, Cammed, hopefully runing about 150BHP.
   
   Stripped floor, rear doors welded up, custom cage built, track slag 5 door

   Hate that term with a passion. But sounds like a plan mate
