Can I swap this motor easily?

I have a 1991 fc convertible and it has the n/a 13b, what do I need to do to put in the turbo version of the 13b?

Did you read the FAQ? This is covered extensively...

I can see you're a new member, so I will summarize it for you.

Most of these NA-turbo conversions end up being hackjobs. To do this correctly you need the TII motor, pressure sensor, AFM, fuel pump, trans, driveshaft, diff, axles, ECU, harness (you can play some games cutting/repinning, but then we start to boarder hackjob). I might have missed something, but you get the point.

It's more work and money than most NA cars are worth. Just sell the car and buy a real TII is always the general consensus.
