Do you have an programmable ECU handy, such as a "socketed/chipped" P28 with an adapter harness to along plugg-in into your OBD0 car?

Your wiring harness is going to be OBD0 "white plug", so there's going to be a lot work. You may need injector clip adapters to run the OBDII-style injectors from the Y8.

Not discouraging you, just informing ya.

The grey-plug OBDII engine harness from the Y8 is not going to clip into the OBD0 wiring of your car.

What do you mean by minime? You want to only swap the head? Still need to do alot of wiring work.
