You've got a long road ahead of you. First, not only will you need the TII engine, but you'll need a TII wiring harness and ECU as well. Then you'll need a TII flywheel & clutch, and starter. The stock NA tranny will not take turbo power for very long so you'll also need a TII tranny and driveshaft. The rear end of the NA is decent, but for drifting or high HP with the TII engine you'll need the TII rear end and axle shafts.

Go to http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum and check under the non-turbo section, they have a write-up of the exact procedure to do the swap, and the potential problems.

the 13b to 13bt swap is real easy but i would recommend getting a complete front clip, otherwise you'll spend a lot of time tracking down all the little parts you'll need for the swap.

You're better off getting a Turbo II.
The Turbo II has stronger transmission, driveshaft, rear diff, and rear axles.
NONE of them swap directly with their non-turbo counterparts.

So, you either gotta live with a strong running motor with the capability of making 400hp+ without destroying a non-turbo drivetrain on the edge of failing, or swap over the entire Turbo II drivetrain.

You're better off getting a 240SX and modifying that cause it's easier to drift.
