What is the Largest engine that can fit into a 2001 honda civic?

My friend is planning an engine swap of his 2001 honda civic and wants to know the largest size engine that can fit. He would also like to know where he can look up racing engines used on tuners.|||I used to belong to a car forum called 7thgencivic.com, which has since combined with other generations into www.civicforums.com.





Basically you can do anything you want if you've got enough money, but it may not be cost effective. The 2001 civic does not respond well to bolt ons such as intake, header, exhaust as previous generations. If you want a significant speed increase you will need to add a turbo or swap the engine.





Now to answer your question: A very popular engine swap for those that do it is the K20 (RSX Engine). It requires more engine bay space, so things may need to be shifted around, but it will fit. Parts are very similar in these cars, so it doesn't require a complete overhaul, but would take money and time to do.





I wouldn't put too much money into the car though. A rough estimate to do a swap like this would like like $2000-$3000. The car is probably only worth about 4000 at this point. I understand if you want to go for the sleeper look, but if you want a faster car it would be better worth your time and dollar to just get a new car or an RSX.|||Civic + v12 = EPIC IRONY WIN|||I saw 1 someone put a corvette engine in a civic hatch!
