Question fd engine swap

hey whats up? i got an fc non turbo and it just doesnt have the power i want. i want to convert to a 3rd generation twin turbo engine and i can get it for real cheap with a tranny, pretty much everything for $500 but it needs a rebuild. anyways would i have to change the fuse box under the hood, also would my wire harness fit, i know i have to change the ecu and motor mounts but that is all i think i would have to do. if you got info just tell me it would be alot of help.....thanks

Please read the FAQ for FC at the top of this section.

The FD motor is very difficult and expensive to install into a FC. You would be much better off selling it and putting in a 13BT instead unless you have more money than sense.

It sounds like you want to do it cheap. I've done it, it's not cheap. Especially if you have no fabrication skills the price will keep climbing. The wiring harness needs extensive modification, so throw out a ton more money for that if you can't do it, because you can't get a ready made one from a shop like a Honda. There's a lot more than you think that goes into it.
