A buddy of mine just bought a 1998 Honda Civic EX. He's looking to majorly upgrade the car, but has no experience with anything. He's wanting to take an engine from a '91-'01 Acura Integra, and swap it into his Civic. Is this advisable? How much gains have been brought to one that has done this?Any write up about the swap? How much work is involved? Any MAJOR modifications? He will have access to a shop with any tools available.

 

yea very big gains i swapped the motor out of a 2000 integra typeR into my car and went from stock 99 ex 16.84@ 82mph to 13.76 @ 99mph and really besides wiring get the si rear mount and that should be it swap right in.
