I'd say go with the Haltech, unless you are racing and need the advanced data logging capabilities the Haltech will give you everything you need.

Yes. You just use all the factory sensors as well as a map and a few extra temp sensors.

How much experiance do you have in doing stuff like that?

It really depends but you should be able to install in a day, half a day if you've got some experiance. Load up a map which will get you 90% tuned (either haltech or the hitman could supply one) then head to a dyno/abandoned bit of road and finish the tune.

Little known fact, the development car for a haltech is a silvia with a SR20DET, they work damn well with that engine.
