Sup fellas? I’m an older guy (42) that needed a car for work. I picked up a 95 civic ex 4dr 5speed. It’s perfect cuz I always wanted to see what I can do with a civic. I’m not really sure of my goals with this car. I’m not trying to do a crazy build but I would like to build a fun car to zip around in. At first I only planned some bolt on’s and “maybe” a small turbo in the future, but as I read on here that engine swaps ARE legal in California, I might go that route. To be clear, the law says same year as car or newer. But does that include bigger engines? Like, do I have to stick to the D engines or can I put a B or maybe even K? Any help would be cool. Thanks guys.
It has some minor dings...
Wish it was the grey interior.

Finding a CARB legal turbo might be a bit harder (maybe a lot harder) to do than a swap. As long as the engine you're putting in is as old or newer than the chassis, you'll be fine. You can't go wrong with either B or K swap. Sure, the B series has long been established, but the K series is quite the beast.

EH9, if my research was correct. Should be positions 4, 5, and 6 in your VIN
E.g. my car's vin starts with SHHFK7... Those first 6 digits tells me my car is a UK-assembled Honda car (Swindon plant) with an FK7 chassis
