   My vtr is getting quite high mileage now it runs fine at the moment but I was wondering if something did go wrong in the future what would I do if i wanted to replace the engine for another vtr engine (same engine) if I just got the same block would that work or do you need another ecu and all that stuff too? thanks

   No you wont need to change the ecu just swap the engine.
   Make sure its got all the same censors and just plug them all in,easy.

   Looked after an R engine should do a high mileage, just remember regular oil changes and change cambelt when required!
