couple s13 questions

ok i am an eclipse owner so i am still doing some research and trying to become more familiar with the 240. ive wanted one for a while and especially after i rode in my friends even tho it was the base model. anyway, i am planning on getting a rms13 (i think thats the right way to put it) and drop in a red top sr20. im just wondering how much i can expect to pay for this to be swapped into my car or if anyone in the miami/ft lauderdale area would be willing to help me put it in when the time came? also, i was thinking of putting in a new clutch, apex-i n1 exhaust, trust turbo timer and boost controller, possibly a big brake kit and some tein coilovers. is there anything else i should look into getting starting off? what kind of clutch is best for the sr20? and about heavythrottle.com which is where i am planning on getting the sr20, how good of a company are they and is anyone familiar with their turbo upgrade for the sr20? sorry for all the noob questions but thanks for the help. feel free to hit me up on aim to help me out with these questions.

The clip usually costs 2500+shipping so u will be spending around 3k for the clip if you dont pick it up urself.
If you want a shop to drop it in for u it usually costs 1k.
You could also upgrade ur air filter, fuel pump and downpipe.
Heavy throttle is a good company...they have good service.
If i were u id first get used to the car..then do everything you want to. Its always better to do that then just jump right into it.

Oh also a Z32 fuel filter upgrade would be good, u can pick that up at any local auto parts store. For the Air filter..if u got the money go for a blitz sus filter, great fiter. For the downpipe go to srswap.com and check that site for the downpipes, they got HKS..i think apex and blitz. For the fuel pump a Walbro fuel pump will be good, eBay has for cheap. Hope that helped ya out

Well its just that...a fuel filter upgrade. It isnt hard to upgrade at all. It has a better flow desing so fuel can go threw the filter more freely. Its a good upgrade. Heres a site that gives u a lil FAQ about it http://**********/faq/index.html go to fuel filter replacement.
