Default EF9 and Wagovan Turbo?

I've been jostling the idea of selling my 94 coupe to get a ef hatch or a wagovan. I was wondering what kind of clearance issues there are for putting a turbo b-series in a ef hatch and/or a wagovan? I've figured I would have to go with a smaller radiator, but what else should I look for?

Also, does anyone know the weight for a wagovan, how hard it is to get a b-series in one (currently looking at an 1985), and are there any clearance/fitment issues for mounting an intercooler that could handle 400+hp on a wagovan?

I know the wagovans are quite possibly the ugliest car Honda ever made (other than it's little sister the ep si), but I just can't help myself from pondering the idea of a clean 400+hp boosted b-series in a wagovan...

Hold out for a 1988+ wagovan, you will need custom everything for a 1g.

If you find a EF FWD wagovan the swap is just as easy as any other EF swap.

So it's more than just a set of hasport mounts?

Only if you're looking at the first generation. The second gen 88-91, is just like doing a B swap into any EF chassis. Hasport mounts, bang in the frame, teg axles etc etc.

Just get yourself a FWD model for a B swap.
