Exclamation 13B twin turbo 1st gen conversion

Hey,

I had an awesome dream come to mind when all i see is poorly upgraded Hondas running around. I currently own a '81 rx7 and I think its fun.....but I plan on buying an '85. The '85 had new interior and is just the best of the 1st generation. I plan on dropping a 3rd gen 13B twin turbo in it. I have a few questions...

Do I have to relocate much (ie. radiator, battery)??
Can I fit an aftermarket front mount intercooler in it?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 13B-RE AND A 13B-REW??????
I also have the option to get a 20B twin turbo instead? Should I do it or no?

My main purpose in doing this car is daily commute, autocross racing, and kickin Honda's butts!

It doesnt take much to kick honda's butts, but I would like to see the 20b conversion. duh, that is not a hard choice. I think you should be able to fit anything under the hood, there is alot of space under their.
