Umm it would be pointless and cost to much. The civic chassis is ill equiped to deal with the extra weight and you get down to it a B series with a few mods is just as potent power and tq wise.

b series is a engine in late model integras and 99/00 civic si's. IMO most cost efficiant way is to get a B18B swap and turbo it.
