you pull the old motor out put the new motor in and wire it up not hard at all good luck with your motor swap and turbo install. i have a t3-61 ball bearing turbo complete turbo kit from my honda im leaning towards installing on a 2.3 turbo motor. Did a little research you make great power them when tuned right. The 1st goal in to make run and 2nd is to tune it 3rd is to brake into the 11's i know its gonna be different from it takes to put a import into the 11's. But when you think about it its really the same.
