Default VW Diesel Engine

So ok this may be a stupid question, but its just out of curiosity...My parents and sister have VW's. Both TDi's. So the question is, would it be possible to put a VW Diesel engine in a honda civic? What would have to be changed? OTHER then the issue that you may have to do some cutting to make it fit. I have a K20 in my garage back home waiting so I would never even try, but I think it would be a test of skill.......

Seems like it would be fun, turn some heads. It seems like once youv swaped or modded a honda engine, youv seen em' all.

Im sorry, that is absolutly the stupidest thing ive ever heard of.
1. How would it turn heads, nobody would know what motor you have
2. There are a lot of honda motors that can achieve much better performance
3. That idea is just.......whatever

Im sorry, i know it sounds like im an ***, but at this moment on tequila and no sleep, i am

1. No one knows what motor you have in your car anyway. (you can hear a diesel, say you have a diesel civic)
2. I never said anything about performance.
3. Isnt even a point to begin with

I fly a 412, performance and speed in a car are nothing to me, but we'll see if the k20 can change that.
