To convert to a Bi20 to a BSi20 is too much work and $.
You need: block, pistons, exhaust valves, cam, oil cooler adapter, oil cooler, FI computer, Ign module, Distributor/vacuum advance, Turbo, exhaust manifold, downpipe, FD outlet boot and plumbing to and from turbo, oil lines to and from turbo, and a few more bits I'm sure I forgot.
Best to find a good used core motor and rebuild it or drop in a later motor. Too bad I just threw a couple away : P
The main reason Rowan got a BSi202 instead of a BSi20 is that it was far less expensive to rebuild and install it than it was to keep the original engine!
The body modifications needed to install the B201/B202 are pretty minor, ranging from 15 minutes w/ a big hammer, to a couple of hours or so cutting and grafting in a new section of firewall and making it all look pretty.
For half as much work, and 20 less HP, the BSi201 is a good alternative as you can keep the (more-or-less) stock D-Jet on 78> cars...
