Dude, if you listen to nothing else I ever say to you, listen to me when I tell you this.

Do not bother with a BP 1.8 swap. Do an SPI swap (www.feoa.net for the details on that) or sell the LX and buy a GT. The swap would take days, as you'll be switching BRANDS of motors. (Example, putting a B16 in a Corolla. It wouldn't exactly be 'easy'.) If you buy a GT, www.corksport.com carries alot of the stuff you'll need for the turbo swap, and yes, a RRFPR should do the job just fine.

Hit me up on AIM if you have any other questions.
