Default Would a B18C1 (GSR) motor fit easily into a Honda Civic CX?

How easy would it be? I've searched but nothing came up for the CX. Are there mounts I would need to buy or are stock mounts ok? Btw, is this car recommended for swaps?

Thank you

your about 11 beers short of a 12 pack lol......JK

you really need to not just search, but absorb more information. in the honda world 9 times out of 10 it can be done without too much modification. a gsr motor would be plug and play for your car, just swap to a gsr ecu or p28 (i sell them lol) and mostly other stock parts......read around

Lol...

I've searched but the search feature on this platform is so damn selective. So a B18c should fit with stock mounts or what? What kind of "stock parts" do I need? I need a definitive answer.

Any links to CXs with B18s? Thanks
ps: how much for the p28?

The CX is not structurally different on the front half from the other hatches... or coupes for that matter. All B-series engines fit into a 1992-1995 and 1996-2000 hatches and coupes and 4-doors very easily. Just try and get all mounts from the B-series motor. And you'll have to create some new wires for VTEC and knock, etc.

HINT: Don't search for CX... broaden your horizons and search for hatch. Plus... take note of the 'RECENT' and 'ARCHIVED' features. You'll find a gold mine of info if you just do a little snooping around.

Good luck.
