It's a pretty straight forward coversion, the man to talk to is Lee of Se7en motorsports who's done loads of these.

Off the top of my head you'll need a 2ZZ-GE engine (obviously), gearbox - the 140 gearbox will fit but the gear ratios are different, exhaust, one engine mount,engine wiring loom, ECU + a matching key (for the imobiliser) & a 190 intrument cluster.

Best is to buy a written off 190/T-sport & break it yourself so you have all the parts you neeed to hand, then you can recoup a bit of cash selling the bits you don't use + your old 140 engine & box.
