i'm not familiar with the 4g67, but as long as the 4g63 trani bolts up to the 4g63 block, you should be good to go on that trani for up to about 350-400whp. i know this doesn't asnwer all of your questions but it's a start and it's all i got lol

Here you go bud, this question was bugging me, so I searched for it for you and voila....
http://www.****s.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166976&highlight=4g37 It's a thread from Tuners, so you'll have to fix the addy, but it will answer your questions for you.
I can understand the reason for not just going out and finding a stock turbo DSM. By the looks of it you've put some time and money into your car.
Here's a quick rundown for you, although, it would be good for you to check out the entire thread.

I did the swap myself about a year ago. From 1.8L to 2.0L N/T
Understand one thing, dont buy 1990 car parts if you own a 91-94 DSM.
First of all the swap is not difficult. Make sure you own a car manual, like Haynes, etc...
Makes the job a whole lot easier.
Things I needed to complete the swap.
-ECU and Engine harness
-Drivers side motor mount
-Alternator, cuase the one from the 1.8 doesnt fit
-Intake pipe and MAF sensor
The transmission will bolt on to the 2.0L N/T engine and you are able to use the same axles.
Actually, here's what I searched and got..

Thanks alot man. that works great. but i cant get either of the links to work, think you can tell me why i cant or just post the whole thread (dont know how long it is).... but also, this will be the exact same for a turbo engine instead of n/t right. cuz im swapping from 1.8 to 2.0Turbo, and he did the n/t.
thanks again man, thats like exactly what i was hopin to find

ok, sorry but im kinda a newbie to this whole swappin engine thing, i have a few questions...
they said this........
I am in the middle of doing this swap right now, with a nice low mileage JDM engine for my '94 GS auto. The A/C comp bracket is different, but engine mounts appear to be the same. Just ordered an ECU from an online site for $125 and am looking for the harness now. Does anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable price? Nothing from the 1.8 wiring will plug in...
can anyone make it more clear to me about the A/C comp bracket, cuz idk what that is.... if its not that hard or big of a deal let me know too...
