Short answer is the engine comes from a G100+ GTti model. Mods required include custom engine mounts, driveshafts, wiring loom splicing, engineering and mandatory brake upgrades. Apparently it is a rediculously tight fit and ideally requires recessing of the firewall in places.
The only such conversion I have seen was actually a guy from Perth, but he may have had trouble engineering it. 100kw in a vehicle that weighs almost two-thirds as much as a Swift GTi (that has 74kw) you're always going to have trouble convincing the authorities that it is safe!
