An LS1 would fit with some modifications


On a serious note, the largest Honda engine you're going to be able to fit without a lot of modifications while still remaining legal (legally, a swapped engine must be from the same year or newer car) would be a K24 (2.4L DOHC vtec). You'll definitely be happy with one over your D17.

again what reaper said, the k20 motors are going the most power with the easiest swap. the RSX type S is the best us market k motor that I am aware of.

K20 is the biggest motor you fit, before you start cutting your firewall and frame to fit something like a V6 or something.
