Guys
I don't know a real lot about this kinda thing, but have been reading up on all the tech articles and so on, and lots of engine stuff from around the board.....
I've got an RA60 with a 21R-C. Initially I wanted to drop a 1G-GTE in there, but the installation costs is a bit much. (I need to get all different mounts and shit right)
So, I was wondering whether the 22R and/or the 18R-G can go straight in, would I need to adjust any mounts or whatnot, and roughly how much to get an engine swapped?
Also, would these engines give me much more power/acceleration? I found old 1980s 'Motor Manual' road tests of the 21R-C RA60 and 2S-C SA63 (My friend has one). Their 0-100km/h times were around 15 secs and 12 sec respectively. Would either of the aforementioned motors give me a better acceleration or more power?
One final thing, is there any 'smaller' things I could do to my car to get better performance? Would it be worth turbo-ing a 21R-C, 18R-G or 22R? Or am I just getting silly..... 
Thanks Y'all.
