some one has already done this swap.

A 4g63 is in the Evo and older Eclipse (some models such as the GSX and Eagle talon TSI).

The engine is a coveted one so junkyards may not help but I have seen some on eBay.

Some more exclaimations might make the swap easier. Try running a search for "4g63" and "civic" and you should find one of the two threads with links to the car that Vince mentioned.

Best of luck, and don't expect it to be easy. When you're done though you'll have one potential beast of a car. ...not that the B18's aren't powerful themselves.

EDIT: Oh, and you'll want a 6 bolt off a FWD Talon or Eclipse...I don't think you're going to want to put the AWD tranny in your car and I doubt the Honda tranny will bolt up so you'll probably want to start with a FWD.

Someone did that to a CRX....

If you wanna keep it FWD, try to find a GST (FWD model) instead of the GSX.

or you could tryDSM.org


You really should find a local dsm board to your area....

Ive seen 6bolt long blocks for 300-400.

you would probably have to rebuild it.

Or if your looking to buy a rebuild you can try

Magnus

You can find shops all over the place but the best would be to ask the local dsm guys which shops are the cheapest.
