never seen that done but does not mean that it carnt be done, for a start the box is on oposite side to the novas set up, ther is a few diffrent type r engines but a nova revving to 9000 will be good!
if you got the car that cheap id stick the engine on fleabay as they go for realy good money. seen one done in a dare i say it ? ( 106 ) and it was fitted in rear with a space frame.

someone on here did this ages ago i think it was one of dods mates iirc

it didnt work couldnt get full lock as the wheel hit the gear box

I don't think it got as far as being fitted due to the width of the engine & box being just too big to get into the engine bay.

You will sincerely struggle to get a Type R engine with £300!! Let alone just the box!! They sell for more then a LET, an they wont fit in a Nova!!!

in essence, to paraphrase & abridge it slightly.

I will do a crap job, paint it the same colour as tizer, get it in Max Power, then sell it on eBay with the doors chopped off 'cos sum feds sez it is too modded innit'

Civic engine will not fit in the Nova engine bay.

Someone asked about this ages a go and somebodies already tried and failed. As Mike says the gearbox is huge.

Proof that it won't go in the front.

It's all off! Back to the drawing board... Amy Winehouse summed it up:

"They tried to make me fit a VTEC, but it won't go, go, go."

i no it aint the vtec type r engine but did someone put a 16valve honda engine in a nova and get it running ?? the front engine mount was REALLY flimsy


search honda in projects nearly the last one on the list
(it was a crx engine)
