You can get a JDM k20a swap from a major importer. Not all of them have them and most of the time, I have seen them preordered etc... Pretty much the same shops that still offer b series engines. They are rarely in stock because the supply is limited since they have to be 2002+.

Now let's assume you buy one or a type s K20a2 swap.

You will need the following:

motor (all sensors working)
tranny
shifter cables
shifter (the RSX will work and I have seen people using other kinds too like old accord shifters etc... )
complete uncut engine wiring harness (I have seen people using the JDM engine harness and the RSX type S harness) It really depends on where you want to locate the ECU inside the cabin as well as waht kind of pnp harness etc...)
axles (special custom made axles are needed, depending on your mounts etc... They can be bought from the company you will buy your mounts or from other companies that are making axles for that specific application
mounts (hasport.com , hybrid-racing.com )
fuel rail and other fuel parts because the k series engines do not have a return line
Other fuel parts include an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and hoses and fittings that you can buy anywhere really. I got them from JEGS. There are many ways you can do it. The more bends you use for fittings the more it will cost you.

You will also need a pnp harness. Basically a custom harness that will connect your stock cluster with the k20a ecu so all the fucntions will work. You can also do the pnp harness yourself. Hondata has on their website a basic diagram for k20a EG wiring.

You will need a custom header. There are 7-8 companies that make them now. Hasport header goes for$399 retail and DTR-FAB has them for around $1000 Stainless steel in 4-2-1 and 4-1

That is the basic info.

you will also need to get the Civic Si Ep3 idler pulley or the aftermarket EP3 AEM pulley. The reason why is becuse the power steering pulley is removed.

There are more details about the swap but that should give you an idea.

The tranny mount needs to be removed from the intregra.

You need to buy a clutch cable too $60 or make it yourself. Just for the parts it will cost you anywhere between $2000-$3000 depending on what u want to buy.
