Depends on how much experience you have working on cars. If you have done major auto repair before this shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise it may be a very good idea to let a shop do it.

Here is a writeup of how to do a S5 JDM Tii swap
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/my-na-tii-jdm-swap-635663/

(this is the same writeup except a bit more organized)

As for identifying a turbo trans vs a non turbo trans (I'm assuming thats what you are talking about when you say good vs bad) I'm not entirely sure.. I know I have seen some posts about that so you may try searching for that answer.

Good luck

Search 'na turbo swap' and you should find a lot of information, it has been performed many times, you shouldn't have any trouble finding what you need to know.

As engine swaps go its fairly easy but its not something for a beginner who knows how to change his oil. Read the links I posted. Those will give you a good idea on how much work is required.

probably easier and cheaper to just get a t2...or get a t2 with a blown motor and use it as a donor.
