03CivicEX4Door is an unknown quantity at this point

Since you have an 05 you're out of luck for right now the K20A will fit in the 01 - 03 vic. It's from a rsx type R. I have heard it run's ab 8k that's motor, lsd, 6 speed, motor mount's and harness and ecu.

it can add up to 8 grand but if you look around and just keep a good eye out for some sick deals and you do all the labor yourself it'll be a lot cheaper

Any K series can be swapped with varying degrees of difficulty. Legally, you need to drop in something as old as your car or newer, so basically 05 or newer. Which leaves few options.
Its kinda pointless to drop a motor in a new car anyways, it would have made a hell of a lot more sense to just buy that car.

Oh yeah... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!
We have a whole friggin forum devoted to swaps.

Do you even KNOW what a K-series is?
A K20A isn't a Type R...
A Type R is a K20A...
There are many different K20's... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON IF YOU'RE GONNA HELP!
