Yes, you could. It is going to be pretty damn hard, so hard I wouldn't bother.

Do you know what model it is?

Any turbo 'could' be used, the differences are in the mounting flanges and downpipe flanges, which means if you use an oddball turbo, you're looking at a custom manifold and/or downpipe.

Isn't the 300ZX a 6 cylinder? I bet that turbo is going to be too huge for a Civic engine to spool up.

It is a 6 cylinder, yes. Some stock turbos are pretty small though.:dunno:
