no big deal the k20 turns clockwise to. also there is no way your going to get a wrx engine into a civic you might get it to fit but wrx's are awd so bottom line NO that wont work. there is a handful of people here with a k20 in there civic and to those people i say this YOU BETTER FI THAT B!TCH lol because if you dont its a waste of alot of money.

i've seen an SR20 in a civic before too...
i dont think it would be worth it.. yeah it would be cool to show it off but u could probably get the same amount of HP and Torque if u invested in a B or K series into a civic.

funny cause the 2 big names in honda tuning, SPOON and MUGEN (and JUN, and up-and-comer TODA) do some excellent n/a work. so you consider them a waste? tell that to all the people that like to go all motor.

Kind of. The D17 turns counter-clockwise, the K20 (RSX) turns clockwise. All old muscle cars turn clockwise. Granted, you'd have to change parts around, but in the end, all you'd notice is that the torque steer pulls the other direction.

Back to the original subject - I've never seen it.

Its one of those things that just isn't done that often cause it would cost so much and plus it really wouldn't be a civic after all the work you had to do...but if u got ALOT of money to blow go do it...you will have a very unique ride
