what stops it from working is it just the electrical or is there something that physically wont fit and work as well?

i am quite serious here. i do have a complete doner car to pull any electrics from is it possible?

It's electrical mostly.  The wiring from the phase I mani, wont work with teh Phase II ECU.

The phase II Manifolds won't fit the EJ22E.

So, the way to do it is one of 2 ways.

A)  Full harness strip from the donor car, and install like doing an EJ swap in an older car.

OR...........

B )  Swap phase II wiring and throttle body over onto phase I intake.  A block off plate will have to be made that fits between TB and intake, to block off the Idle passage.  Injector connectors will need to be modded/swapped to work on the Phase I injectors.  This will run fine, but will have CEL and won't have warm up idle control so you'll need to hold the gas on cold mornings for a 10~30 secs before will idle.

 

* note, if you are installing into a Manual trans vehicle, you will not have a lower starter bolt......so that would need addressed.

And 3) swap your heads onto the EJ22.
