You shouldn't need to change the cams from an 18RGEU for turbo, they are well suited to it actually.
The 18RGEUs that I've seen have weaker conrods than earlier models, that would not be so good for high boost turbo.
The main problem with these engines is corrocion in the water ports that run into the block. No way to check them without taking off the head.
The gearbox, if original would most likely be a w55.
The ECU and loom are really hard to come by.
Just out of interest, is this for sale through Adelaide Jap importers? They were trying to sell me the same set up a while ago for $1600 each, then more recently for $800 each.
They had two to choose from, but no airflow meter for either.
They wanted $275 for the ECU...I don't think so.
I've never heared a good report about that place, selling engines with bent/burnt valves etc.
I hope the deal is genuine for you and it all works out in your favour, as Norbie said, check carefully.
