13b-msp swap

Hello everyone.. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this if its been done before to a FC and what all do you need to do it.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.. also I when to the dealership and asked them how much for the engine and they gave me the standard, sports tuned, and mazdaspeed one which all cost the same.. and he couldn't really explain the difference (I'm a US Marine who lives in Japan so I didn't know that much Japanese to find out all the details from him)... he wasn't sure what engine harness would do too... hell he wasn't sure if it was possible.. but I told him it was.. hell any swap is possible... i saw a 20B go in a R33 (makes a R33 not suck...lol)...and a SR20DET go into a FC (rotary crime)..
if anyone wonders why cause i think 215-235hp for a n/a, and it being better on gas is pretty nice to start and even though there aren't many tuning possibilities right now... i'm sure there will be a couple of years down the road..plus they're cheaper, more available, and better balanced for a FC than a 20b

standard would be the 4port, sports tuned would be the 6port and the mazdaspeed...

well if memory serves me correctly there were hints when the Japanese mazdaspeed model came out that they had massaged the intake manifold for a few more Torque. that was never verified that i have seen. i know i made posts about the article that mentioned it but dont have time to search it out.
