First gen Insight engine in a Civic?
Does anyone know if the First Gen Insight ICE can be mounted readily in a sixth gen Civic, can the ICE's manual transmission bolt onto a D-series Civic engine? The ICE only produces like 67hp on its own. Can it even be installed and run without the IMA? I'm most interested in the transmission, having seen a citation for a fifth gear .710 and an final drive of 3.21 ... anyone know. My bet is the answers are mostly no, but that's just guessing.
