As far as what model yours is equivilant to in Japan, Honda doesn't sell the 7th-gen coupe in Japan, only hatches (three and five door) and Ferios (four door sedans). As mentioned, swaps are mondo expensivéo for 7th-gen Civics.
Good luck!

I don't think it bolts right in to a coupe, rather a hatchback(2003 Civic Si). You need a subframe from hasport and/or mounts plus (I got this from) http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/f.../0301ht_heart/
"...because of the different orientation of the D and K engines, there is plenty of auxiliary work that needs to be done. Fuel lines need to be rerouted, as do lines for the clutch, shifter cables, throttle cables, water and heater lines, etc."
...and if you read the linked article, it states hasport even had electronic problems.
Almost forgot, you also need to have a key coded to the ecu so it will start. Go for it, but it doesn't look cheap or easy.
