Icon2 delsol MID SWAP?

ok I have a 1994 delsol Vtec and i was thinking about with how much space there is in that trunk that you could easily get my D16 that I have in there (mid-engine rear wheel drive) . I started doing some research and have found that there have been quiet a bit of people that have done it with CRXs and civic hatches as well as a couple of delsols . With that in mind i figured I would get on here and try to connect with someone has done it to see what it takes.
I am currently going to ranken tech. for automotive maintenance and high performance, and will be building the D16 in the high performance class and turboing it.
For those that have done this, this is the plan I have in mind; D16 T3/4 turbo, mid-engine RWD drive, radiator and intercooler up front with evo style hood (similar set up as the Lotuses and Ford GTs for rad & cooler[reverse hood scope]), gas take up front as well, and scopes on the rear fenders that vent cold air into the back.
Tell me what you think of the plan when I get started on it I will be posting pictures of the build on http://undergroundcars.webs.com/ as well as here.
Thanks you for the input.

Alex

Honestly for all that work why, when you can swap an s2000 set-up and be RWD. Not trying to bash on your goal or anything but all that work and still have the d16 in there makes me wonder... IDK it's your car and this is just a suggestion.
