there are many kits made to do this. but honestly it would be cheeper to just get a si cable trans or rebuild your own. the kits are like 200. you can get a si trans for like 100 to 150. just my 2 cents

I have hasports cable to hydro kit and i actually like it. But i have a jdm gsr so its a little more worth it. But yea just pick up a 88-91 si trans. Sometimes i can find them in my area for $50-75

It is not easy. Hasport came out with a d series hydro to cable kit to do it recently. If you have the money, the ONLY way i would go is to buy the conversion kit. Otherwise, just pick up a cable transmission.
FWIW, i am not particularly thrilled with the hasport B cable to hydro conversion, but i have not tried the D variety.
