Yea, if it were so cheap to fix up a honda to beat a 5.0l mustang, everybody in the world would be driving a honda.

A b18c5 will not swap into your car easily.

This guy will help you alot

On top of that it is ilegal to swap a B, H, or F series engine in your car as it is against emmision laws. A K swap or a D17 build is all you can do. And dont spend your time modding your car to beat a certain other car. You would be in it for the wrong reasons, do it for you, do it to relax, do it cause you love modding cars, or dont do it at all.

Before you spend any money in that car you need to listen to these guys. If there were a magical chip that increased horsepower, gas mileage, and engine efficiency, don't you think honda would manufacture their cars to those specs out of the factory? If you're referring to those $8 piggyback systems on ebay that are advertised to electronically modify the signal to your ECU and give you 25+ horsepower, you're out of luck. Building up your civic takes research, time, and money.

Seriously, most of these threads are from a year and a half ago. Have you done NO research what so ever? We can't help you if you can't help yourself
