Default Transmission swap

I own a 1989 Honda Accord 2dr coupe. believe its an SE-i and a 1988 honda accord LX-i4dr sedan. the 2 dr is an auto and the 4dr is 5-speed. i am attempting to make the 2dr a 5-speed. will the transmission fit?? .......Also the 2dr has a carburator. i want to put either a supercharger or turbo in it ,preferably a Supercharger. is eitherpossible and if so would a certain type of kit be needed. if not i am going to put in an aftermarket fuel injector. Any opinions on this topic would be great.

It's all doable, but more expensive than it's worth IMO.

Hi Member:
The best I would inform you is this..expensive and question? are you going to try and race this car or just drive it on the street...

You're going to spend more money than those cars are even worth

It was mentioned above" its all doable"...i am going to do all the work myself but before i go ahead and do it, knowing before hand would be great...its all doable..but would i have to do anything frame or body wise?? i understand i would have to change the gearbox up a bit make a place for the clutch, switch computers, and possibly change the axels but i know i can do this myself just need to know if its a simple fit...if it doesn't fit ima just switch motors...
