Hello, i am just getting a heads up on modifications for the civic...i am wondering if it is possible to swap to a more powerful engine ? and if so will there be any problems with the car or will the swap will be working perfectly... (i know you will tell me to switch for an SI instead, but im looking for other solutions)

 

if i swap to a SI engine, will there be any wrong behavior from the car?

 

The car has only been out since last November. Engine swaps are sort of pre-mature at this point. I'm not saying it won't happen but making sure everything fits and works right could take a little bit more time.

 

yeah thats exactly what im wondering...i know theyre brand new, i was looking ahead in 3-4 years when my engine will have a good mileage on it, i am looking to swap it to a more powerful...i just thaught maybe someone would have an opinion on it...reason why i ask this is because the engine bay of civic and civic si everything is not in the same place, so im wondering for the swap would it have to be the WHOLE parts, or just like normal swaps with complete kit...but i guess if no one knows yet...well soon find out

 

From what I know that it isnt a whole lot of stuff that you have to change, but I know that its a lot of work. You have to drop the motor from the bottom...
