You need to pick a budget and research for within that budget in the FAQs on this and the Hybrid/swap forum on here. Also I do my oil at 5k intervals with normal 5w30.

B18C1
B18C5
K20
B20

or if you wanted to go a little more creative and badass

H22a
any J32

Just so you know the j32 is a v6. You can see j32's in Ej1s on youtube, and it's pretty sick. Very torquey for such a small car.

^ sounds right for a "done right swap", a K20 swap isn't simple OP nor cheap stick to a drop in b-series if you DIY expect to pay 2-3K for everything.

You need to do more research if your unsure of something as simple as oil changes.

OP, I'll sell you my complete B16B (CTR) swap for your civic. You'll be in total 1/2 the price of doing a K swap.
