Engine swap

Okay I have a 2011 civic sedan LX, I am wanting to do Engine mods.
Air intake, Exhaust, Ecu if needed, gonna swap the Tranny, full Engine swap... ETC>

So if anybody could point me in the right direction as to what parts would be the best to choose from. not really worried about price because i'm really just shopping around right now.

Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

It's brand new damnit leave the thing unmolested at least for a couple years. Then have your way with her like a cheap hooker who likes an occasional beating.

Re: Engine swap

yea I know the warrenties will be voided I'm waiting till they are up so I have at least two years before anything major is done that's why I said im just shopping so I can get a list together and save money because I know it can't all be done at once. It'll be a timely project and expensive.

Re: Engine swap

Drive your car and enjoy it. Don't get caught up in this "I'm going to make my civic a supercar one day" hype because you will spend a boatload of money doing it.
