Icon2 Unique Swap

so im thinking bout undertaking my first true swap by myself into my prelude and wondered if anyone could give me some info on wat i might need to get or do to make this kinda of a unique swap accomplished
the engine is a 4g63t i have running 15psi of boost that is currently in my 89 dodge colt gt
the plan to transplant that into my 92 honda prelude s with a little bit more engine work
i do have everything such as ecu harness tranny transaxles and i think bout everything i need except engine mounts and the exhaust setup
but anyone with engine swap experiences help would be nice and any suggestions on anything i could do or need to get let me know
