possible? maybe. Honda's IMA system, with some work, can sandwich between any engine and tranny.

the only problems are that the IMA module's housing won't fit on the S. I guess one could be fabricated. the other is the ECU. that'll take an intimate understanding of the Honda's programming.

The IMA system is not a feasible swap. There is no room for the IMA battery rack, or the DC/DC convertor and Battery control module and the assorted cooling fans. Consider that as well as fabricating some type of adapter to sandwich the IMA motor between the Block and trans, shorter driveshaft, relocated shifter. All this for 13hp, and another 200lbs or so.
