you're going to have to spend some money on an engine... you could get what you already have (D16Y8) but newer for cheap... most people go with a B-series, the 2000 Civic Si had a B16A, which would bolt right into your car and would be easy to find and not TOO expensive... B18C from an Integra would be a great choice, or even a K20 if you want to get really fancy... you could get a B18B (non-vtec from an Integra LS) for a lot cheaper but it won't put out as much power... I haven't swapped my engine so I'm not the best to talk to, but it comes down to getting what you pay for really
