240sx RB20DET build help

[Stormhelix]

Hi,

My name is Alexander. I recently purchased a 1989 s13 240sx Hatch Shell with RB20DET motor and transmission off a skyline in it.

From the guy I bought it from, it is in a mid swap. He said that he pulled the engine himself in Japan when he was on military duty. Under 100k miles. It has everything to run except Radiator and Intercooler kit. The driveshaft is from a rb20det on a 240sx, with a Yoke to put it into a skyline transmission that comes with it. Also came with Skyline ecu, harness (injector and upper, etc)

List of things i know I need to do.
Get radiator (will a KA radiator work? or will it not cool the RB enough.) (Budget 2-3 hundred) (cheap the better)

Intercooler. (my budget is around 3-4 hundred tops. (cheaper the better, but without having it be plastic.) just need a kit to get it running.)

Get Skyline harness converted to work with 240sx systems. This si where I need help, is there a Skyline->240sx wiring diagram somewhere?

Anything else I may need? (just to get it running)

Any help is appreciated. I am new to these forums also.

Thanks, Alex.

Here is a link in regards to cooling for RB engines:

As well as some other things to look over to see if the previous owner skipped any important steps along the way (you know, since the car doesn't run or anything yet).
