I am a complete newbie on motor swaps and I have been searching and doing research but I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that goes into a swap. I wish there were a complete kit that has everything I need.
Basically I just want a fast car that is fun to drive. I don't want to race and I am not looking for bragging rights I just want my crx to have more than enough power. The car that I am buying is a 87 crx 5sp totally stock with 190,000 miles. I am paying 700 maybe less if I can get him down.
Anyway my question is, what route should I go to have it turbo and what kind of money am I looking at here for just parts?
Will any of these listings on eBay be a good consideration? If so what additional parts will be required if any?

I have searched and read the forum topics on 87 motor swaps and I don't mean to waste anyones time with such newbie questions. I just need something to get me going in the right direction with pictures and price tags.
