Well since they included the ECM, wiring harness etc.  It should be a relatively easy swap. 

However, you do realize that the engine is a 3-cyl right?  It's a 660cc, 3-cyl turbo from a Kei spec Jimny.  It puts out a little less hp/torque than the 1300cc engine.

The tranny looks different too; a little smaller and less robust as it doesn't have as much power going through it.  I wonder if it even has a 5th gear.

....

I want that for my SJ-410!  But I should probably hold out for a 1.0L turbo.

Well they sold one briefly in the US as the Chevy Sprint Turbo.  Insurance Rates killed it due the fact that it had turbo.  I guess they didn't realize that it only had a 1.0 liter, 3-cyl engine though.

There was also the Pontiac Firefly with a turbo option.  You can find more of them in Canada as well.
