Cool A few newbie Questions

I'm planning on buying a rx this winter to do a turbo II swap in the spring.
Trying to learn as much as i can about this swap before i go ahead and buy the car.
Just wondering a few questions.
My researching and talking to a buddy thats done it has got me to this point.
This is the engine i will probably buy http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/prod...roducts_id=139

If anyone can correct me on the follwoing it would be appreciated
I plan on using the stock tranny for next summer, and upgrading later on to turbo II tranny, new driveshaft and bigger turbo/stand alone ECU etc.
This engine will bolt right up to the stock tranny correct? and i will need a new clutch thats bigger? also if i end up with a gsl-se i will need to relocate the turbo with a modded down pipe correct? and with a gsl the turbo should clear the unibody frame rail?
I should be able to just plug the turbo II ECU and engine harness to the car and thats it for wiring?
Now also i will need to transfer the motor mounts, oil pan, and front cover from the old 13b to the new engine? and i need turbo II coils?
Will there be modification needed for the throttle cable, gauge wires etc to work with the new engine?

What kind of power should i expect? 200-210hp. 0-60 between 6.0-8.0seconds?

also i was wondering a rough pricing for the things i know about right now that i'll have to buy

car 3500$
engine 1300$
clutch 250$
coils 50$


I'm probably missing alot here but some filling in and correction would be appreciated!

All of this has been covered over and over. There are numerous threads in the archives and in the main section where you have posted this thread.

Don't take it personal but I am closing this thread. Please use the search function at this point. All of the answers are there and we do not need another thread on the subject.
