Most things will need swapping. I'm pretty sure you'll have to go K series or H series for a 2 litre vtec as well. It will cost you a lot and the engine will be heavy. Don't think in litres, think in bhp...what are you after? Before modifying and after.

You'll need a new engine first! My suggestions are the:
- B18C5 (195bhp - Integra Type R)
- B16B (160bhp - Civic VTi)
- H22A (187bhp - Prelude)
- K22 (213 - 220bhp - depends on car).
What year is your Civic? Is yours currently VTEC? The B series engines are the lightest and offer very good tuning options, they are also the easiest the swap.
B16 engine should be the easist swap as it should be a direct fit to your gearbox suspension will be the same, only thing that will need uprated is braking.
the B16 eninge is a 1595cc engine instead of the 1590 youve got 5cc more and 50bhp more.
Another D series engine will be the easiest to swap over. However, a D series engine can't be highly tuned. A B series engine would be your best bet if you want to tune it and you want more power. It's easy enough for everything to be swapped over, the only problem being that everything will need swapping over.
When you buy engines they are usually from written off cars (from the rear). If I was you I would go B series...just depends on how much power you want.
no you might find that the gearboxes are the same. i looked into changing from a 1.4 to the B16a engine and was told there is a good chance the gearboxes may match. not 100% sure tho as never went any further ahead with it (insurance is a *****h when your 19 )
I researched this and spoke to a place called JamSport in Northampton. According to them the D to B series conversion is easy enough, but you have to replace everything including the gearbox. This is what makes it so expensive.
