Default 1987 Honda City Hybrid

I did a search but came up blank.

have just got a hold of a 1987 honda city - same shape as the "turbo II" but not the turbo...am not sure if this modle came out in the US or not..
IF SO

Anyone tried a B16 or B18 transplant into one...the engine bay is pretty small and it would be a tight tight fit but would be interesting to see if its possible..

even perhaps a ZC or D15B conversion?

Nope, we never got 'em here in the US, and the engine bay is realllly tight. I think you might be exploring new territory here.

I own an 86 City Turbo II here in the states.. Obviously, the City was never sold here as well.. By the looks of this engine bay, a B-series would be a hell of a tight fit, not something I would recommend.. Perhaps a SOHC VTEC or something similar?
