I'd say go search the USMB, there is a guy on there with a EJ swap into a 88 RX.

I also know of a few WRX engine swaps into Brats (Brumbys) by Aussies so I'd say it can be done, how hard it will be is another question.

do you have the turbo motor yet?
if not you could start w/a n/a 2.2, that will be a increase of nearly 50 HP. and if you get a 2.5 you will boost it by 80hp. that is twice what you have now.
