Re: 2013 Ex Sedan engine swap
Well it's a newer car still, so that's gonna be a very expensive project.
It may well even end up being more money than if you just traded the civic in for an accord.
But if you have the money, most anything is possible.
I think the biggest problem is the CVT tranny, I know in previous generation civics a swap to the accord's V6 wasn't that crazy, but I'm sure the CVT will complicate things, and that is if the CVT is able to handle any additional power.
You may be looking at the new engine and a new tranny, and the price will shoot up from there.
Not trying to discourage you, just making sure you know what you are in for.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

13 has the regular auto trans. 14 went to CVT.
Turbo? Supercharger?
Trade it in for an SI with the 2.4 engine.
That would be a whole lot easier and the car would be worth a lot more $$ than if you hack a transplant into a perfectly good car..
