its a lot of work i`ve not done a t25 (yet) but you need the unit from a breakers then cut and machine the column sourse uni joints to link the unit to the modded column mount the unit and then wire it all up with the ecu and either a speed sensor or a variable switch.

It depends if your on about total electric or a hydro electric system.
hydro electric is the simplest route, not done it myself but the principle is easy.
Bolt on a power rack, bolt on a electro-hydraulic pump (plenty of choice out there, saxo's, 106's etc..) give it power, give it some pipes.....
