As has been previously posted we have all gone through this as younger guys.  Though if were 16 again and had the internet I'd never leave the house!
 
My advice would be to speak to an engineer before deciding on anything and get some feedback as to what is allowed and what costs you are looking at.
 
You don't want to start spending any money unless you know you are on the right track.
 
You only have to look on eBay at all the unfinished projects from people who didn't do enough research before they started.
 
Not trying to dissuade you but would hate to see you spend a Sh%t load of money only to find you can't drive the car the way you want.
 
Good luck,
 
Matt

Thanks Matt I will ring an engineer today and get a figure, Also Could you graft a sr20 x-member into the escort.

Good move,
 
As to the crossmember there are a number of threads on here that show what has been done to the standard crossmember to fit the SR20 engine.  Just new mounts really.
 
Making a new crossmember would just be a PITA.
 
Check out Power-Quests thread as he has lots of great photos to give you some ideas.
 
Good luck

Better off jus using the standard escort crossmember and cut thr engine mounts out and weld in som custom mounts... Way to much stuffing around to get a sr crossmember in cus the car is a completly different shape and size...

From what I can see (not having done it personally) the crossmember is the easy bit.

Ok So also recomended boosters for the setup use datto ones or what??

I assume you mean brake booster not rocket booster? 
 
You'll have to go to a pedal box as space will be at a premium.
