B18 swap Into our EM2?
thats my opinion i have no other way to put it....wait since kung is ready to gget a lawyer and sue me for being rude here i go
96-00 civic with a b18-very effective and not to costly
01-05 civic with b18- hard to do, costly so it becomes pointless
01-05 civic with k20- costyl but effective and will be cheaper than b18 swap and you have more resources to help you out because its being done more and more
01-05 civic with k24/k20 frankenstein-HIGH HP!!!!!!!!!!!
Its all up to you buddy, its gonna be costly anyway you go to make the 01-05 civic fast, i have spent 10 grand on a turbo d17 and hoping to put out 350whp , good luck in whatever you do and next time search and then post up if you cannot find what you need!

Here is the last needed post. It's not the first time I've posted this and prolly not the last but this is straight from Joe (locash racing) who also works at Hasport when I asked this very question:
Dallis,
Unfortunately, this is not easily possible. The set used on the AEM
land speed car was basically some random parts that were laying around the
shop that AEM modified to fit the car, and modified the car to fit the
mounts.
There are too many problems associated with that swap, so it
will probably never come to fruition in a production kit. To be honest, for
the amount of money it would cost you to do this swap, you'd be much better
off with a more technologically advanced K-series engine.
Good luck on your quest,
-joe

This site is getting damned ridiculous. Used to be a time, not all that long ago, that people were here, because honda-tech was populated by a whole bunch of douchebags. I gotta tell you, this site is getting as bad, if not worse. I'm not pointing at anyone specific, but I haven't seen this much bitching back and forth in a long time. I've about had it with this site.
okay....this is gonna cause lots of ****, but......I considered a k20 swap, and a d17 turbo setup, but heres my plan of attack: my car has only 26,000 miles so i dotn want to **** it up doing seriosu mods, so I am gonna do rims, intake, exhaust, and springs, and a chip, and i will keep it as my bad weather car, and i am making a down payment on a 2007 mustang, which i will leave stock and it will be my toy.
READ READ READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF people i said i spent 10gs on my d17 did i ever said k20 was too expensive? Its a hell of a swap i would have a k20 if i hadn't spend 7 g's on my motor, yes building the d17 is kinda stupid cause you can only make about 300whp so far, so yeah it is stupid but it would also be stupid to spend 10 g's atleast to get a b18 in, k20 owns i never said that was stupid so go back and read what i wrote then talk ****.

damn that sux, but i think venom 400 is just as retarded as that JET chip(which you mail in for a reflash, supposedly, and nothing happens) but venom 400 apparently works pretty good, but only on a stock car.
of course i wouldnt, i do love me some honda though, but i have been in love with the pony since i was like 5, and the most perfect 5.0 lx slipped out of my grasp last year so i ended up buying a P.O.S jetta, but i will tune the civic while i pay off the stang, then i will sell the civic and get a procharger, bwahahaha.

welllll...... I dont use brakes, they add weight, jk. But this sounds like a pipe dream or some ****, but i am not getting the pony till summer 08', i gotta pay off the civic, but i am making serious bread right now, so i will take a year off after community college to get it, but the love will go into my civic.
