i'm thinking... the D17a2 shouldn't have a problem fitting. it's a direct bolt-in.
as for the other engines, and why there isn't a swap, type in 'swap' in the search menu. it's been two years since the civic came out, and a year since the RSX. i'm sure SOMEBODY has asked the same question before.

Rep Power: 0 according to Import Builders (The people who did the swap for H-town) any b-series, or k-series motor will fit except for the b-20 and h-22.. they are too large. It's just as easy to put the rsx-s motor in your car as it is a b-series motor. for the cost, you might as well cut off the front end of a rsx and weld it to your car. The whole subframe needs fabricating. Also, the running cost on a swap into a 7thgen is around $10,000. The only legal b-series motor would be the 2001 integra (b18)

Rep Power: 375 AS of this point there is NO direct bolt on there HAS to be fabrication for anything other than what you got in there...im personally gonna get the H22....lol[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
h-series and b-series are also only legal if you have a 2k1, or if you can find a 2002 model year engine from japan. again, the easiest and best chance of being legal swap is the k-series, either the k20a2 off the rsx-s, or maybe the k24 off the new cr-v.
