-fitting is not a problem, ive seen it in a CRX and well fitted.

-but...dont forget about the immobilizer thats on the BCM/ECU, if you cant bypass the ignition... the 1600 will go down teh drain.

-you might be able to use the reader on the civic but you need to swap out the BCM/ECU and copy(the programming) the k20's original key. you dont want to tow ur car to dealer and let them charge you thousands of dollars.

The immobilizer is no problem on 7th gen civics. You just have to take your car to the dealership to get it programmed. Hasport has an article on the swap:

how's the sale going??? sold it yet? I would of bought it but money is tight right now. it may be a possibility if it's still around in a month or two. also still waiting to see what pe tuning says what a cost estimate is for this swap.

Will this engine drop in to a 2004 Honda Civic DX-G? Or do I need to do a whole bunch of modifications to make it fit?

Just wanted to know cause I plan to 'rape' the car over the winter. Just trying to find a somewhat reliable 500 dollar winter beater at the moment.

This engine will pretty much drop in, you will need new mounts and a new front subframe.

Hmmm, wonder what a subframe costs. Guess I have to phone the dealer. :-)

ive heard the intake manifold on this wont fit so youll need to get a type s manifold or a sir manifold, i was oging to buy this engine a while back but the cost would of been around 4000 installed with all the parts you need
