EP Swaps - B-Series in a 7th gen Civic?

I get this question constantly, and as the resident 7th gen guru, I'm here to answer this once and for all. NO, you cannot put a B-Series engine in a 7th gen. There are no motor mounts that are currently available for a B-Series in a 7th gen, much less a wiring harness. There is only one, yes only one, 7th gen Civic under B-Series power. It is a car prepped purely as a race car to run the salt flats. Also, the 7th gen Civic started production in 2001. Therefore, the only B-Series engine that would even be emissions legal to install is one from a 2001 Integra. There were no other B-Series engines in production at that time. You must install an engine from the same year, or newer, in order to pass emissions. If you have a 2002 or newer, tough. The K-Series is the next incarnation of high horsepower Honda motors, and in 7th gens, it is the only way to go.

And NO, you cannot swap an F20C into a 7th gen either.

good to no.... i was wondering if the new 2008 civic SI motors (2.0 vtec) wuld fit in a 2005 civic? lookin 4 a motor swap but also not lookin at all the bs problems nd hassels with jdm motors...

i'm pretty sure you can, because the 2005 Civic Si has a K series engine and so does the 2008 Si. I would imagine the mounts are similar and I think you could probably use 2001-2005 Si motor mounts and have it work. I'm not entirely sure at all though, I'm just making a logical conclusion.

This thread is really old and I don't think the user is coming back to the site. I would advise you to try starting your own thread to get better results with replies than this thread will probably get.

So what about h series? I'm sure k series isn't the ONLY swap available for an em2 is it?
