If starter location is an issue there are different "k" engines.
Also, to further make things less expensive , couldn't a piggybacked Hondata ECU be used just for the engine with splices for sensors on trans maybe and the stock ECU for the basics??

This isn't a new question. Unfortunately, most people aren't going to do a transmission build themselves, no different that an engine build. The cost to do a transmission build with syncro upgrades and dog gears has been tried, but for most people, this just isn't worth the gains. Most would rather do a CD009 swap for about the same price as paying for the parts and labor on a transmission build. Most lower powered FI cars and NA cars who are going through transmissions are just buying used transmissions for $500. People have just done 4th gear for cheaper, but check out the prices on gearsets to compare to the Mazworks CD009 swap:

It appears they are working on something. I don't know how much cheaper this option will be, or what features might be lost.

Will I be able to pass emissions with this swap?
That depends on the specific laws of your region. Since the standalone Haltech EMS may pose challenges for some customers, we’ll be working on an additional option to run these cars on stock ECUs as well.
