Haynes manual wiring diagram pages, some wire cutters, wire strippers, solder and heatshrink.

You can't.
You're doing an engine conversion, you're going to have to spend some money.

the whole conversion was planned! we didnt fit a engine then think how do we wire it up.
due to my car being a 1.2 16v it is very weird compared to all the other corsa's. we have had to replace alot of parts that we thought we wouldnt have to.

ok spoke to the guy properly now, and theres a few issues.
1. the loom on my corsa dosnt go into the cabin, the ecu is on the engine.
2. the loom is as one, not two.
3. hes married up as many as he can and it still wont fire up, he says its not getting any fuel. he also says that i dont need to wire up the fuel relay on my corsa as i already have one.

The loom on your car goes into the passenger kick panel, there are two connectors there.. He needs to cut the ECU -> cabin loom and splice in the X18XE1 ECU -> cabin loom.. most of it is matching colours.. I think the guy is in WAY over his head mate. I just hope he doesnt fry your ECU for you.

sounds like a bodge job. rough as a badger. why do people bother trying to do it the cheap way. always fucks up.
if doing it, do it right. if you cant do it admit that you cant and get someone that can to do it.
