not too sure, but i think the major issue with the 20v s2 motor as opposed to the 10v ur-quattro is the intake manifold, as there is less room under the hood of an s2 as opposed to the ur-q. the head is higher and wider of course than the wr, but i don't think that makes much difference with the ur-q. pretty sure the cooling system was changed too, so it'd pay to take that from the s2 as well.
i'll take some measurements from my s2 and compare it to my 20v ur-q if you'd like, although obviously the 10v wr motor would be different again i'd expect. actually, why don't you tell me what you need by way of measurements etc, and i'll get them...
