Do it yourself. That's one of those things you can't have somebody do. There is a lot involved. If you aren't up to do it then You shouldn't. You need to do your homework on the conversion. AaronCake Has this done and has a good write-up if I'm not mistaken. If you aren't mechanically inclined then you should sell the N/A car and purchase a T II. Remember, the faster a car is the less reliable it is.

i am all for doing it yourself. i bought a rebuilt motor for my 91' rx-7 and pulled the old one out and put the new one in all solo. the hanes manual and this site helped a bunch. definately do your homework and ask questions. i find that the experienced guys here will answer any questions no matter how stupid it may be. i cannot imagine how much i saved doing it myself. now it drives perfectly after sitting almost two years. the same with my honda crx after an engine swap. did all myself. go for it!

definitly do the swap yourself, you will have more respect for what some people do on a daly basis.
or you will get so mad that you will fantisise about taking a hamer to it in a rage

So far since the engine swap in mine I've had no trouble.
