I got full 2000 spec drivetrain, wireing harness, and ECU(20somthing bit ) intalled in my car; Its alo0ot of work but I feel its worth it for more refined later model FD.

I head the Bosch 32 BIT ABS Unit which is really good is the hardest/most difficult to swap or install. Engine/Drivetrain should not be that hard, what was hard about it? Just a few more details.

stripping the hole car and dash to rewire the hole thing to the new ECU and harness since you just cant plug it in.
drivetrain is all the same on the outside for the most part the hard part is putting in the harness to run jdm ECU's
