s5 RX7 N/A to TII swap (I have searched)
Decided to go about figuring out how much it would cost to swap in a Turbo II motor and tranny into my 89 GXL. I won't be switching the rear end and it will just be a daily driver (yes, I know, I won't be launching it very often). I'm just trying to clarify some things and making sure I've got everything I need. As I understand it, I will need:
Engine and transmission, of course.

^This guide seems to recommend Tiger Japanese for an engine, which seems to be legit... (http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/details.php?id=3781)
Throttle Cable from turbo, fuel pump from a turbo (will welbro 255 work? seems like too much power.), N370 pressure sensor, MAF from turbo, ECU from turbo, a boost gauge, preferably a turbo timer, blow off valve (due to the jdm engine not coming with one)... Anyone mind letting me know if I'm missing something?
Couple questions:
Do I have to replace the driveshaft with, say, the Mazdatrix NA Rear End to T2 Tranny Driveshaft?
Would it be cheaper to go for the Turbo hood or a FMIC, and what needs to be done to have a FMIC?

Walboro 255 will work. A turbo timer is not needed.
I would guess that a turbo hood and oem intercooler (most likely included with engine swap), would be cheaper than $400+ for a FMIC. If you can find a TII hood in your area you can most likely get it for less than $200.00.
If you are determined to keep your NA rear end then yes you will need a modified drive shaft. You can sometimes source a rear end for not much more than a new modified drive shaft. <-- something to consider.
I do not know about jdmtigerjapanese, I purchased my engine swap from j_hot imports, and so far I have been really pleased with it. People on the forum will recommend Japan2LA for engine swaps. I would not recommend him, but if he's got one then the odds are it's good.
