here's the thing, you can do some swaps, but you're limited due to your car model. the only thing is that you don't have that much knowledge on civics considering you don't even know what engines are interchangable. to start with, you need to be a fairly good mechanic to perform a swap, unless you pay a shop to do it, which will then cost you double the initial cost of the engine. just do some research before you think of doing anything more than a few simple bolt-on's.

How 'bout a c32b? That'd be pretty awesome.

Honestly, you can fit any engine in any car. So please be a little more specific with what your goals are.

(and I still say a c32b would make an awesome swap in a civic)

yes...well i take that back, he claims he did but i don't know **** about engines so he could of lied, that's why i came hear to get the opinions from u guys....it all started with me buying my 03 civic having no intentions what so ever to do any of this but seeing alot of guys having body kits and all so i put one on and decked it out interior and exterior and became a poser i guess u could say but then guys would see me at the light and automatically want to race cause of the way it looked. i one alot of the races just because i'm a good ass driver and ain't scared or should i say just don't give a **** and will weave in and out of lanes and take turns at a higher rate of speed that some ball less rich kids with 350z's etc. so now i've done got all into this **** and get a rush out of beating guys with cars i know i shouldn't of been able to beat....now i want more power
