If the argument continues, I'll lock this thread.

To answer the question:
You're going to have an extremely difficult time mounting the engine, and making anything work properly with it. If you were to use it ONLY for the track, then you could gut the interior and run a drive shaft to the rear and setup the engine properly with a custom dash and wiring. But, if you want it to be street legal, you're looking at spending a fortune to just get it running properly in the engine bay. It won't fit in the bay, without huge amounts of metal work on the firewall.

The RB25 is longer than a Corvette V-8, and look how much it is taking to mount one of those in a Civic: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2004368

Come on guys, cut the guy some slack. He asked a legitimate technical question, unlike 95% of the other repeat threads on this forum.

If you don't have a good answer for him, then keep your hands off the keyboard.
