not alot. you have the choice of a 4efe, 5efe, 5efhe or another 4efte.
the n/a engines will need the ecu and the relavant wiring looms to work

the engine and the engine wiring loom and ecu.

you could possibly get away without the wiring loom if you want to do some rewiring.

would probably be as cheap and alot less hassle just to replace with another turbo engine mate.

i would like to replace it with the turbo engine but a second hand one costs around 900 here and i probably would have to send it to the engine shop to get the valve seals and headgasket done in it as most of the starlet turbo angines where im from have the shit driven outa them

so i wouldnt need to go messing with interior dash loom or any of that, and gearbox will fit straight in too ya?
i can get a standard 1.3efi engine an loom and ecu for 200 , is that all i need

any particular years or engine codes i shuould look out to get

it will all fit together but its not a straight forward swap. to make it easy, you would need the dash loom. if you stick to a 4efe from an ep80 as apposed to an ep91 then it will make things easier.
there will inevitably be some wiring alterations needed somewhere along the line.

if your going to the hassle of doing that i would try and get hold of a 5efhe.
