If you have no idea what you're doing. The best thing to do is read and ask questions.

Your plan is actually quite smart. Building the spare motor over time allows you to do everything right the first time without taking short cuts.

What you'll want is the S13 turbo kit. Since the post 91 KA24DE's are all the same as far as the block and head go, aside from cams that is, but thats a whole nother topic entirely.

The chassis is the deciding factor for the turbo kit since you have to deal with what manifolds will work and what intercooler plumbing will line up. The S14 and S13 kits very slightly, but it's enough to make you have to cut and weld a few choice pieces.

Check out our KAT sponsor IAP, Import Auto Performance. If you need help just give them a call. Good guys...

Anything related to the engine should be fine, anything related to the chassis/body of the car, it'll need to be for S13

Please dont make thread titles that are all in caps.

Everything should fit fine as the motors are pretty much the same. The only thing that will be different, as others have mentioned, is IC pipe routing and possibly exhaust mani/downpipe routing, because the chassis' are different.
