The 20v turbo motor will fit.  A guy up here in the NW did it last year.
You lose you power steering and AC, but you've probably already dropped
those in your race car.

The two problem areas are the intercooler and the stock 4kq clutch on a
highly modified 20v turbo.  Routing the intercooler hose and locating an
intercooler is a real problem.  The NW 20v turbo 4kq has the intercooler
hose running OUTSIDE of the engine compartment (in front of the front lower
grill).  And at 400 hp, a beefed up 4kq clutch still gets eaten up quickly.
