GT1

After the blown motor the options are getting narrowed down and i'm very seriously considering a swap to a 12A Turbo from Corksport. Anybody know if its a direct bolt in or is there mounting complications associated with it. I was assuming that since it'sa 12A there will be no problems except for figuring out the electrical, fuelpump, and engine plumbing, but i'd like to know forsure what to expect.
Also I am interested in any educated guesses on what one is capable of with a downpipe and full exhaust, intake, and an intercooler.
thanks
p.s. my full 45DCOE system (carb+manifold+press.reg.), RB Header, and SS Presilencer are still for sale if anybody is interested.

A true 12AT can't be cheep, just remember that the ecu is different than the 12A, so you'd have to get an imported ECU as well. There are probably a good number of things that will need to be done to the engine before you can drop it in. For one, it will probably need to be rebuilt, because it is an old engine. Even if it is truely a low-mileage engine like they claim, it's probably been sitting around in japan for several years. This would not be an easy project IMO. A 13BT swap would probably be easier....
