SX question about imported front cuts

hey guys
i want to get a front cut 4age supercharged engine,
just wondering, does this come out of a sx, if so what model, cause ive got front damage on my sx and just thought that instead of buying a noise cut i might as well just bye a front cut and up grade the motor aswell.
iu need a sx bar, passanger front bumper support, bonnet, and passanger front guard and head light with the side sx indicator.
what do you think i should do?

Supercharged engine comes in AE92 and AE101 Levin GTZ or Trueno GTZ...
If using the AE101 engine, you will need the rear gearbox mount from an AE92 GTZ.
The panels from the Levin/Trueno will not bolt onto your SX without some modification, and would look odd.
Ensure you get a MAP sensor 4AGZE if you wish to stay supercharged.

Yes, later model AE92's come with MAP sensor engine.
Frontcut costs are around $2500 these days, mine came with panels, bonnet (missing scoop), missing headlights, however the engine was complete, all sensors, brakes, dashpad and dash, pedals etc.
You need to ask the importer when you ring up or go see them etc.

indeed, mine had rusty mucky water sitting in the plug galleries, nothing a bit of WD40 and other solvents didn't clean up.
Also had some water in the engine, but that's all been burnt out now 
This is due to quarantine high pressure water spraying the cuts down apparently...
I thought it was because they sold the bonnet scoop and left the cut in the rain... IC didn't have any rust on it though...

No, the AE92 Levin front doesn't fit on. So you'll still need to repair your damage from an AUS Delivered AE92/AE93 SX.
As for bolting in. Everything bolted in, We used the Engine mounts from the frontcut, most important being the rear gearbox mount.
Only one bolt hole for a bracket on the passenger strut tower was missing, but not important.
