I realize you're new, but you really need to search. These questions come up daily it seems.

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/s4-na-turbo-swap-details-813825/

FAQ:
Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:

You need to figure out if it's an S4 or S5 engine. S4s use N332/333, S5s N370. Search for "S4 S5 differences" in thread titles.

Search for "auto conversion" or "manual swap" etc... in thread titles.

The starter must be for a turbo transmission.

Read the first link I gave you. You'll find that turbo harness you have is not worth the trouble if you're doing a S4 to S4 swap.

Ignore the FAQ links, as I just noticed that they're broken. Icemark, I sent you a PM regarding those broken links.

turbo starter or your auto starter will work. n332/n333 ecu, n318 air flow meter and pressure sensor.

you'll need to build a crossmember adapter to put that turbo transmission in your car. I have a heavy duty one with bushing for sale. if you are interested. I also have everything else for the 5-speed swap if you are interested.

No point in using the turbo harness over the existing NA harness. It is far easier, as I explain in the link I gave you.
