How much money you got? That's what it comes down to. You can put any engine in any car you want. Now, if we're talking realistic, streetable swaps (I.E. Ones that are Legal and cost effective) Your options are the K series. Unless you want to spend an arm and a leg making a B or H series work from a 2001 Integra or Prelude, because those are the only legal B/H swaps available to a 2001 Civic. If you want a good frankenstein setup that not too many people have, get a K24 block, a K20a2 head, and a Type S tranny (6 speed)

Now if you want to boost this motor, Your best bet is getting a 5 speed, because the longer gearing of the 5 speed will allow more boost to build throughout the gear range.
