yeah save up a little more money and buy a cheap d15b vti engine. i put one inmy car it cast 500 bucks and i beat si now. and you only need to run 3 wires one from the soleniod to the ecu, a ground from the pressure swith to a groud, and the other from pressuer swith to the ecu.
and you can use your old tranny with it. but better to get the vti tranny, its stronger.

might as well just get a z6 or a y8 so youll have the power and you'll be able to pass emissions with no problems
