You will also need:

Side Mount or Front Mount intercooler with piping
Stock or Aftermarket BOV ( Blow-Off Valve)
If you are using A/C compressor you will need to make custom lines for it to work on your USDM body.
Downpipe, testpipe/CAT, exhaust.
Boost gauge, Air/Fuel Gauge, Oil Pressure Gauge.
Manual or Electronic solenoid Boost Controller ( not needed but if you plan to run a little more boost than stock 7psi)
Bigger Radiator than the stock Sr or KA one.



If you really want to be sure to get a complete swap. Get a whole front clip from a Silvia/180sx. It will cost you a little more, but you will have extra bolts and nuts when you need them. That little stuff adds up quick. Usually with clips they have aftermarket as well as stock parts. It all depends. I would get one that is near stock as possible.

Cool, I need a lot more components :yesnod . I already brought a full exhaust system and the Side Mount or Front Mount intercooler with piping.

This is just an example of a front clip. I do not recommend buying engines from ebay unless you have thoroughly done some research on the seller and company.
