There isn't a swap out right now, well, if you have the money I guess you could put whatever engine you want in your car within reason

There isnt anything available unless i think you might be able to swap and EX engine in there but it wouldnt be worth the money wait till some other swaps come along....there will be some soon from what i hear down here where i live

with VERY little modification, you could bump your engine up to the ex/ cdn si level. that is a given tho. as for any other swap, there are members who are working on getting a K20 motor to spin for them. it's definitely alot of work, but if any motor is gonna be shoe-horned into our cramped engine bays, the k20 is the one that's gonna do it.

The only swap out is the K20(RSX motor). The engine bay is too small for any of the B-series engine. With the amount of money it wold cost to do the swap your better off selling your civic and buying a RSX.

only swaps out right now for an lx is the Ex engine which in my opinion is not worth it or u can go with the K20 rsx-s engine. however that requires alot of custom work and alot of money.
