Default d16y8 in my 94 dx? plus 99 si brakes?

i have stock 94 civic dx d15b7 5spd with 165k on it. it runs strong, no ps, no ac. i got it turbo ready . and have the turbo setup for it. and now when i'm about to put everything in, my friend offers me his d16y8 with 15k on it ( everything, suspention, tranny, engine, the whole front end) for FREE , because he converted his 99ex to 99si and that ex motor just takes space. so the q. is, is it worth to put that in my car to turbo it in the next month or so? is that engine stronger then my d15? i know it will bolt right in, but what about the wires? sensors? ecu? what i need to get ? i searched for a couple days on here, but still didnt find the answer. or should i just swap the si brakes in to my dx, and leave the engine along? si brakes are bigger right? and as far as i know they bollt right in?

please help me with my q. !!!!
thank you!

turbo the dx first. With the shitty oil pumps on the y8's you might thank yourself later.

The whole OBDII oil pump thing is not that scary. Plus the fact they are a dime a dozen if it blows.
