Check the 20v swap section of the board for details, but here's a short rundown:
1) A COMPLETE 20v engine. Make sure it has ECU, Coil, Ignitor, and at least a cut engine wiring harness. You can get them off Ebay for fairly cheap.
2) If you are swapping a blacktop, you should get or make sure you have a C52 trans, so the starter can be mounted on the intake side and it won't interfere with the exhaust manifold.
3) Send your cut wiring harness and MR2 harness to mr220v, and pay him to make you a working wiring harness. Don't try to do it yourself, it isn't worth the pain and suffering. mr220v does excellent work, and it's well worth the price he charges to avoid headaches.
4) A few hoses and whatnot will need to be modified to fit. This isn't incredibly difficult, and you should be able to figure it out without buying new stuff. Also, the throttle cable isn't quite long enough, but if you move some of the brackets holding it under the car, you can get it to reach.
