Default B18C into Del Sol

Looking to swap B18C into a Del Sol, but there's a few things i don't understand.
First of all, what is involved with 'building the block/bottom end/whatever'? I know about using larger sleeves and I plan on doing that (84mm or so) but do those just slide in, or what?
I also plan to turbocharge, so what kind of cams are optimal for turbocharged applications? And is higher, or lower compression better?
Lastly, should i use the GSR tranny, keep the Sol's or look for something else?
Any other ideas/suggestions or advice for my setup would be appreciated.

You can't use the sol's tranny, so use the GSR or buy an ITR one. And yes, lower compression is better for turbos.
One more thing, use the search function at the top of the page. A lot of these questions have all ready been answered. The search button is your best friend here at H-T!!!

Actually if the del sol came with a B series DOHC VTEC motor you could use the tranny
