    it shouldnt be too bad. you have all of the parts to do it, so it will just take time. if ya need a hand let me know, i wanna see how that thing fits in there.

    depends how many rusty/seized bolts you come across. other than that it shouldn't be bad, time consuming but not bad, and if you switch your stuff you will want to switch over all the wiring harnessess too- that will be the fun part.

    yeah, but you will still need to switch over the harness to the new car

    Your JDM ECU is most likely spliced into your old car's ECU. You will need to unsplice it and resplice it into the new car's ECU.

    That is probably something you're going to want to pay an experienced electrical person to do. It can take anywhere from a day to several days of work.

    ^^^ that can be solved by switching the entire wiring harness, the whole car. pain in the arse but better than having to rewire stuff.
