alright go on ebay get a book by aaron bonk its called " honda engine swaps" it has every engine possible to go into your car starting from d16y8 to the h22 and explains everything you need to do! its like a 20 dollar book but count it as an investment!

but the easiest swaps will be the b18b swap other wise known as zc you dont have to mess with the wiring up the vtec but i suggest doing the research and going with either the b16 or b18 vtec engines its not hard to wire up the vtec at all! and you will have one heck of a fast car!
