Hey i was thinking, I;m not much of a Honda guy but i do have a donated 89 honda hatch. i was thinking of puting in a sr20det in it...u guys think its possible??the only two things im concerned about is the wiring but i;m gonna search ALLDATA and look up wiring for the g20 and the honda...And if the nissan axles will spline with the wheels...but s*** this would be a fast ride and honda guys would be getting smoked by this car... ...thinking that it was just a turboed honda engine. Not knowing its SR Powered!!!

Probably more trouble than it's worth. For the cost of making the custom brackets, etc you'd likely need you could find a rolling SE-R shell.

Definately do-able. If I had a honda hatch shell laying around I would probably go for it. But, I sure hope you are good with wiring, and capable of doing a decent amount of fabrication(or have friends that are, and willing to help). I have seen a ga16de swapped into a crx (why??? I know... but still).
