On the lower right portion of your keyboard is a button the makes a "period". It would be helpful if you were to use it to break up your sentences and give us a chance to figure out exactly what your asking. I got a headache as well.

All I got is you have a NA and you want to put a TII engine in it. From your very basic questions otherwise, I strongly suggest you don't try and do this without help from (or better, hire it out to) someone that knows TII's.

There's so much you need to understand. First, why swap out the NA motor if it still runs good? 2nd, a JDM motor doesn't mean it's a going to be great, most of the time you're buying a used one that needs a rebuild. 3rd, swaps are simple as long as you have all the right parts. 4th, do some more research. 5th, in your case, I'd pay someone who knew what they were doing to perform the swap.

First lesson.... When removing a bolt remember "Righty tighty, lefty loosey". Start from there.
