no the civic ls will melt because of all the heat made by the turbo, you will have to either buy a new engine or buy a new shell for your car, also if you add a wing to the bad this will help cool the car down so that it doesnt melt your engine. I would highly recommend getting the biggest wing out there, this is cheaper and saves you a lot of money

im guessing it has the swap cause i dunno of a civic ls, but from the sounds of it joey you should do your research cause it sounds like u need to. if you dont know your stuff you can make some big mistakes that will cost you a lot of money.
