You can get a GSL-se oil pan or an old school 4-port 13b oil pan, thats a direct fit into the car.

For the motor mounts, you should be able to slot the holes where the mounts attach to the cross bar that bolts to the front cover.

You need the front cover and oil pan from the GSL-SE 13b. You will also have to tap the front cover to create an oil return for the turbo.

The 13b is 2 or 3 centimeters longer than the 12a so you will either have to notch the stock crossmember, find one from a 1st gen with a 13b, get the modified mount from racing beat here, or bend a stock 12a mount to fit.
