A GDI engine won't last long or run well here. Our fuel has too much sulphur in it.

Best options are a 3.0l Mivec, hi comp n/a engine or going from 3.0 to 3.5.

No need to be sarcastic. Yeah I know you need the steering wheel, brakes, 4 rims and tyres rarara :nuts:
My question was what else do you need that wouldn't be a bolt up from your existing car?
I assume the gearbox is the same.
I know the ECU is different, but from what I can gather the non-ralliart ones will still run smoothly.
Will the Ralliart engine bolt to the standard diff or do you need the LSD as well?
Don't need the brakes unless you want a brake upgrade.

That a bit clearer? Not everyone knows the difference between the engines and what the ralliart had extra.

Engine will run with standard gear - Complication is traction control (you need to remove the throttle body and install your old one.

Apparently there are some issues with driveability (power delivery is not linear) at the upper reaches of RPM - you need a piggyback computer (as if you were to get the ralliart one you need... ECU, BCM - body control module, Keys (coded to BCM), traction control (or it throws an error)

I thought Traction control only came with the auto... ?
So if you could find a manual that would be fine?

Yeah - thats right. Manual had LSD. OP has a manual, so if he could find a manual version, he would be sweet.
