Engine:
CAI and SRI made for the Civic EX will fit this car, as well as any turbo kits (Stafford Fabrications). The engine is the exact same as the US Civic EX (Canadian Si Coupe). Exhaust - any axleback from coupe or sedan will fit but since Civic midpipes differ between coupe and sedan, make sure you buy a system made for the sedan when going catback.

i got that from here...

it was posted by Telly, who is on this site. so maybe PM him and ask...

Re: LX to EX head swap with Acura EL head?

I'm doing a head swap as we speak, just brought it back from the machine shop last night. Its more work then I thought it would be. Make sure you read up on the timing belt- top dead center and all that - I know I need to. BTW, good time to clean the head up from the sludge, carbon build up, and dirty oil.
