If you were in CA, a shop called JPR Motors will have this installed for $1,850.00

DOHC 2.0L TURBO LONGBLOCK WITH INTAKE MANIFOLD, TURBO, ECU, & 5SP MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ***FROM S13 REAR WHEEL DRIVE***

I just picked a 1993 fastback for $2,500 with 140K miles, a/t, white color. Looks like Im swapping next year or so.

Im not in CA im in NJ and I think it would be more expensive than $1,8050 over here !!! and is if that expensive I rather just rebuild my engine and tune the KA24 engine !!!

a shop around here in PA quoted me as labor being $1500, front clip I'd say would run about $2500 or more

My S13 SR20DET blacktop cost me in the area of 2,200 but that is without mods like intercooler, BOV, exhaust, radiator, etc. If you do the SR20 swap you will need a few more things but checkout a site called phase 2 motorsports they can give a pretty good idea of what to expect and what you'll need for a swap.

I'd save a little more just for little things that might come up, just to be on the safe side...
