Not a good idea.

Not even compatible.

Well, you could put it in if you had more money than what you bought your car for...a lot more...

So for the normal tuner, it's out of the question, taking into account the size of the engine, the motor mounts, I don't even know if it's FWD or RWD, because that would up the price real quick if you tried a swap like that...

actually, it would fit... anything can fit anything

(it just matters how much you're willing to spend, and for this "swap" it would be a lot, a whole whole whole lot)

RWD for starters.... And this is just my $.02, but sounds kinda dumb to me to put a nissan engine in a honda

call top secret in japan.. they put an rb26 into a supra.. why?? cuz theyre freakin nuts and they got the $$$$ and knowhow.. you're better off waiting for an rsx type s to come around and drop that in.. in the long run you're gonna be dealin with problems from the rb20 especially if it's gonna be a daily driver.. although i'm sure it can be done.. the problem is finding a shop here in the US crazy enough to do it for ya
