First off why you would want to swap the engine? Welcome to Honda, the world beyond 100,000 miles.

Secondly, is it I4 or V6?

If V6 you have options like TL Type-S Motor, 3.5 block with J30A4 head, etc.

If 4 cyl you have options like TSX motor, TSX motor with K20 heads, etc.

So like I said, what engine do you have? And if you really want to go fast a simple swap won't help that. Some sort of FI on your current setup would probably be a little better.

That actually has a lot of aftermarket support. You have a K24A engine just so you know. That should help your search. If you really want some power you need to look into the turbo kits made for the K20 in the RSX.
