Yes, it has been done. Extensive modifications required. Search on Google and you'll find it.

I've done a BBDET swap in my EG6. Then I woke up.

i know that nissan drivers dont really get along with honda drivers but i had a 99 sentra sel > my brother ran a stop sign and got t-boned. then i bought a 92 240sx > i had it on the road for a week and then my dad wrote that one off by hitting a deer. I'm just not lucky with nissan cars but i love them, so i found a happy medium, i just need some information if you know anything about this swap please feel free

get the motor w/ tranny lined up in the engine bay, then fab up the necessary motor mounts and brackets. Get some custom axles made. Dunno how the steering will turn out. You'll basically need custom everything as far as hoses and lines go. Never been done before (that's actually been completed and on the street... that I know of at least), you could be the first.
Personally, I'd just drop in a k24 with k20a head and be done with it. Granted, I think you'll need a custom hood if you want to keep the power steering.

Hondas Tranny's are on the opposite side of the engine bay so it made re-routing the steering and other things very difficult. Just buy an EG and swap a B18B in to it and boost the hell out of it. You can make 250whp reliably with a good tune and it a 2300lb car it will rip!
