To do a package like what you are after would be around the $6k range for motor, exhaust, coil over strut suspension, retuning etc.
One thing to consider, instead of doing the 4G15 DOHC engine, to do the 4G93 SOHC engine which is a very easy swap and has a lot more torque etc than the 1.5 engine. Would only be a little more expensive to do but results would be massively larger.
for the conversion:
You don’t need a harness.
To do the conversion you need a complete 1.8 engine incl gearbox
Use the 1.5 harness / distributor and convert the engine to distributor ignition
Run a piggy back ecu system
4G93 is a direct bolt up with plug and play why try to reinvent the wheel, convert it a dizzy and rewire wtf?
Theres is so many more options , pretty much all of them tbh you could do with six or so grand and have a much better base to build off.
But thats what happens when you go to a shop i spose, Learn off here and the net and do a 4G93 conversion your self for under $500
