The S12 was available from factory with the FJ20ET or the CA18[D]ET later on. These are the only turbo motors it came with. You could grab that from another S12 and put it in yours. The CA18 will be easier to find since they were available in more models. The FJ20 is a little larger but not as many people are familiar with the FJs and they make a little less power. I'm pretty sure there was also a V6 Turbo but I really don't know anything about it.
There have been all kinds of swaps, but it seems a lot of S12 drivers like to keep S12 motors, but I have seen RB20s swapped also, and though that would be the least direct swap, it should still fit and bolt fine.
I'm reading more into it and I knew there was a V6 available but I thought it was turbo. The V6 I found available for the '87 - '88 200SX came in the SE, and I thhhiiinnk that's the VG30E.
Some websites to check out are

You'll really want to look at club-s12 and find Indecisive on there. He's a buddy of mine and knows me from another forum.
