Gaby dela Merced's pink "FITegra" is one such car. It was modified to accept the Integra's hydraulic power steering, but the stock electric system will also work.
If you're an avid follower of the Japanese video magazines "Best Motoring" and "Hot Version," they even featured a modified Jazz with a Frankenstein engine. It had a much larger K24A engine block (2.4L) mated to a K20A Type R cylinder head and valvetrain...and it smoked through Tsukuba Circuit in about 1 minute 3 seconds.
The larger K24/K20 Type R hybrid engine fit into the engine bay with no alterations to the hood, as far as I can recall.
