No such thing as a weekend swap when installing a turbo, especially if you're converting to EFI at the same time. Getting an 18RGEU and having it ready would save a whole lot of time though, however it might not be the cheapeast option.
I converted my 18RGEU to a turbo last year, i'll give you a brief rundown on what it cost me. I already had all the efi pumps and extras though. Always fun if you have to run a return fuel line 
Turbo: T03 Swapped for my old fuel computer, approx: $300
ECU: $1400 (With Ignition and Quad coils, you mightn't want to go that far)
Custom turbo manifold and 3" exhaust: $1000
O-Ringing the Block: $1000
Copper Head Gasket: $120
Rx-7 550cc Injectors: $340
Intercooler: $300 (Depends what you want or who you know)
Blow-off Valve: $100 (Second Hand)
Intercooler Piping: $100 (This figure would vary a bit )
Hoses and Clamps: $150
Air filter: $120
3 Core radiator: $300
Braided oil line: $100
Oil return fitted to the sump: $150 (Could do that yourself though)
Gaskets: $50
Custom made Crank Angle Sensor: $170
Tuning: $1000 (Had it back a few times )
I've probably forgotten something, but that's around $6700. You could easily add $300 on for extras. So around $7000.
I did pracically all the work myself, i just couldn't get it to run right. Found out i had a bung injector. But that should be an ok guide, it might cost you less depending on what parts you already have or if you can get some of the work done cheap.
Let me know if you want any pics of my setup.
