No swap is really necessary, You've got an SR20DE already, you can just bolt on a turbocharger, and get a TMIC or FMIC, its your call. Though if your engine is high mileage, you may want to consider keeping your eyes open for a "slightly new" J-Spec SR20DE from either a BlueBird, or a GT-i ( I think ). Those should pretty much bolt straight, there may be some modifications required, but I'm not a pro at this kind of stuff, but ya know.

Although,
If you wanted to do a swap, you would likely be getting new hoses and wiring and assorted parts that wear and tear. It's cheaper to just get these parts and bolt on a turbo (for a high mileage car) than do a full swap. The effort and cost isn't worth it for the same product.

damn you... you're doing the exact thing I want to do, too bad for me that I'm a student and therefor don't earn very much money (and live in Iceland), my advice though... try to get a front clip, that way you would get the ECU and such with the engine and are guarateed that you have all the parts you need.
