   So this weekend will hopefully be the start of a vtr engine converion into my furio, atm im looking to order all the parts. i know im going to need a ecu and the engine and gearbox.
   
   im just woundering a few things,
   1) can i use the furio wiring loom?
   2) where can i get a unlocked ecu?
   3) If i got a ECU with loom would it be able to plug and play straight to the vtr engine or am i being stupid thinking this?
   
   much help appreciated as atm its looking like its not going to be happening and im not going to have a car

   im not sure if the furio loom will fit usually i would say get the loom and ecu for the engine but i have a feeling the furio and vtr looms are the same, ecu wise you'll need an unlocked vtr ecu if not you can use the locked vtr ecu but you'll need the ignition barrel, key and imobiliser box from the car that the vtr engine came out of
   
   you might need new drive shafts, the vtr drivers side driveshaft is a two piece shaft and the furio one would only be a one piece, you dont need a two piece but it helps with the torque steer also if you are using a vtr gearbox with furio shafts you might have some oil leaking out the gearbox as the shafts wouldn't go in to the diff properly
