Retrofit and rx8 engine in...

If you want to keep the stock ECU etc:
I would say full dash harness, engine harness, immobilizer, key, and all related OBD2 Stuff. The immobilizer, ecu and key have to be from the same car. I think racing beat can remove the immobilizer (04 models) from the ECU with their flash, but then you'll be limited to something like an adaptronics piggy back ECU to tune. You wouldn't be able to reflash it, but you wouldn't need the immobilizer or a specific key.

With a standalone you'd just need to wire up the basics. This would probably be the easiest / cheapest option.
