If the car in your signature is the car you have, you do not own an EM2. You own a 96-00 Civic, which could be an EJ8 or EM1.

Either way, you will need custom engine mounts for the swap.

Check here for a great write-up: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1628002

K20's are a pretty common swap for the EM2 chassis. You'll find at least half a dozen K-swapped EM2's here on Honda-Tech, alone. Mine being one of them.

besides it gives a much better platform than the D17 to work with to upgrade and get more power.

heres a few pics of mine getting started vader. i bought a whole rsx smashed for a donor car. no it doesnt just fit in where the D17 bolted in. you need a donor car kinda , theres too many misc parts you need from an rsx.

got my subframe today , got the front end ripped off the rsx , were cooking right along now. waiting for 6 speed shift **** , accord plug wire cover and both axles to come in the mail. heres a few pics i snapped with phone(i know) , will get more later:

This has been answered countless times. Search, next time.

No, you cannot run anything but a D17 or a K-series in the 7th Gen. Civics.

What run? If you're referring to the dyno tuning I did, it went quite well. I posted up the numbers in the General Chat thread.

Even you've said yourself that one is in a salt flat racer...
