Check the archive. There's a good thread on TII swaps in there. It's easier to swap it into a GSL-SE than what you've got, but you can do it. There's info there, and any other questions can be searched for pretty easily. Racingbeat sells the mountpiece that you need to move the engine mount point to fit the 13b. As memory recalls you need to get your hands on a GSL-SE oil pan and possibly front cover...

Check the archive and search, then come back with more *SPECIFIC* questions and we'll see what we can find for ya.

Depends on what you want. If you want to use the stock EFI setup then get a j-spec or frontclip. If you want a Carb then I wouldn't bother. You definatly need to do some research here!! This topic has been done to death!.. I also hope your suspension is up to par as well.

You will basically need to tackle 5 areas of the project.

1. Physical mounting
2. Fuel system
3. Ignition system
4. Cooling system
5. Turbo system

There are major decisions of how you want your setup to work, involved in every section I have listed.
