Engine mountings
Driveshafts
A good/strong F20 gearbox or a F28 (6spd)
LET engine & all ancillaries
Intercooler & pipework
Chassis plating kit.

The rest of the car will need to be uprated to suit the massive hike in power.
Most of the work involved is problem solving & fabrication to make all the parts fit in place.

Brakes, suspension, body shell structure etc

as you already have the 20se/h in there you have the mounts needed for the LET.

If you use the f16 gearbox thats originally with the 20se/h it will die. the f20 will be ok for a little while also. best bet is f28, plus you get the extra gear.

For the f28 you need to find the another (for you passenger, for us drivers) mount. drill the spot welds out and weld this onto where the original gearbox mount was.

You then to modify the linkage to make the 6 speed f28 work. its needs cutting down by 35mm and turning a bit. its trial and error there mate.

As for the calibra turbo brakes, they will need to be drilled down to suit the 4stud pattern.

For intercooler, its down to personal preference, but get a large frount mounted intercooler from a frontera/evo/cosworth and then just get the pipes made to suit.

The wiring is basically the same as the 2.0.

I would stitch weld your car at the least plate is advisable but not a necessity.

You may find this helpful mate.

I went from XE to LET last year and kept a diary. Still adding to it!
