I'd say it would still be relatively simple. Still a case of mounts and driveshafts.
You would however sacrifice power steering unless you can fit long enough pipes to come from the pump to rack.
Linkage would be ok too as they all go to the central tunnel
Other than that I'd say it would be as easy as a ga16 or sr20

As said above..main things are the mounts and shafts,if you can fabricate or know someone who can fabricate/weld then it wouldn't be too hard..im into Honda's myself and have done and seen a fair amount of conversions.. not sure if anyone remembers the b18c4 Vtec engine with a turbo in a mini cooper on ebay a while back? the chap had even swapped the Honda dash into the mini somehow,so i guess it wouldn't be so difficult..but if going through the hastle why not just go with the b16a1 or b16a2 engine with a s9b gearbox (LSD),158bhp stock and its dohc..saying that i may be attempting it myself in the future at some point..

I would just use a ga16 keep it Nissan

Or you could just buy a Civic.

I'd say go for the b16/18 instead.

I got a b16a2 in my other mini, brilliant engines and I'd imagine there might be room for a turbo as well in a k11 engine bay if 160bhp isn't enough.

Why pay for an overpriced, overweight Civic?

A D16 in a K11 would rip.

If you want to go balls deep, go for a B16A2 or hunt for a D15B VTEC

Yet we both now own Civics..

I'm not saying a D16 in a K11 body wouldn't be fun/quick but with all the time & work required and inevitable problems that would need to be solved it'd be a lot easier to just buy a Civic in the first place.

Civic would be slower though. If he wanted a car as slow as a civic he'd just tune the cg lump.

No Honda tax on the much undesirable MB
Wasn't a personal dig at you btw

The D15 engines can be tuned pretty cheap. B16 also.
