5 GT Turbo C2J Camparse V2

So, I bought a 1.4 Automatic C2J r5 for £175 as a donor for a few bits I needed. As a laugh I put it in for a test and it flew through, and it’s so good I now use it as the dog car.

I’ve also gone and booked a rally test day as I was about to purchase another rally car but then decided not to.

I’ve got an old r11 engine and turbo and gearbox on the floor of the garage... but then remembered Colin and project Camparse many moons ago...

my thoughts were ... nail on the manifolds, carb and turbo, hydro handbrake and have some hilarious one tyre auto fires at the rally day???

Any thoughts / issues I need to worry about???

I recon the mechanical fuel lift pump might need a little boost?
Renix???
kickdown switch?

Auto gearbox is super weak, first job would be to convert to manual. Comp will need dropping if planning on using stock gtt ign, and all the other bits of the fuel system fitting, gtt oil pump etc.
 
Other option is to throw the whole r11 engine and box in and a pedal box
I think common sense would dictate this as your best option, because lets face it, you'll end up doing it anyway when you (pick any one, or combination of the below)....

-Shred the box
-Melt a piston
-Blow the HG
-Drop a valve
-Seize the turbo
-Snap a driveshaft
