v6 Conversion into 5th gen Civic
Similar to the VW VR6 conversion into an MKII are there any conversions for honda to put a V6 engine into your car? (i know anything is possible, but i mean a realistic swap)

Only V6 worth a crap would be the C32/C30 NSX engine and the newer TL Type R engines.
Other than that really it's a waste of time, money, and fabbing.

No bro it's not dumb, and it has been done already in a CR-X.
A shop in GA did a rear-engined, C30 NSX engine into a 88-91 CR-X and it did run. It wasn't a street car or anything, but it did run.
Personally I'd never do such a set-up for any street car because it's crazy-*** expensive and it completely changes the way the car will drive and handle.
Honda isn't stupid - when they designed the Civic it was intended to be an FF, or front engine, front drive chassis. If you go throwing an engine in the back I'm sure the car will never handle like a well engineered FF or MR, or FR car would.
If I was doing any crazy set-ups with mount kits envolved it would most certainl be the K series. It remains FF, and the engines are easily putting down 200whp in sotkc form with bolt-on and tuning. The K20A Type R engine lays down roughly 230whp with a good tune with bolt-ons.

No.
Why not buy a Porsche? Or perhaps a Ferrari Enzo?
This is a HONDA mb, so if you don't like them get the **** out.
We are obviously here because we all either choose to mod Hondas because we are budget-limited to them, or we like having other things in life besides the fastest car possible.
