It would be easier in a 5G hatch. But you can do it in a 1988-1991 car. You would need to use the Place Racing kit with their hydraulic transmission bracket. You would then need to use their cable convertor. Hasport was working on a hydraulic bracket as well. But I don't know if theirs is ready yet.

remmber, gsr transmissions came in the cable( ys1) version as well. any b series in an ef gives you the same amount of headaches- bolt in wise.
and yes, eg's are much easier

5th gen hatch is the way to go. The engine wont clear the hood, since its taller than a b16. You wont need any mount "kits" either, honda mounts will be fine. Also wiring should be nearly straight forward.
