nissan skiyline engine, lol, nope, never

I belive the closest thing that would fit into a honda with lots of work done to it would be the FWD SR20DET engine, possibly tho.

There's been some Mitsu engine swaps into Civics, but it's not common.

I've heard of Integra's with Skyline engines in Civics, but thats supposedly stuff in Japan.
Who knows for the right amount of money it may be possible.

with money anything is possible, but it's pretty hard fitting a AWD engine into a FWD civic/integra

Supra and skyline I believe is the same same (differences of an inch or two). The twin turbo is worth it, not the I6 220hp version.

It would not be smart to swap an 180hp with 130 tqr, with a different computer setup (vvti vs Vtec) and mounts. THere are lots of differences between VVTi or VVTLi in this case and the Vtec. I mean, why would you want too.... we have the 195hp integra and it is much better and more suitable, not to mention the amazing racing wins that it has. I have not seen alot of Celica in action. I have an 2003 Echo, it is fast and much different than any of the Toyota line, but the performance mods all points to turbo, nothing for the NA department.

Best swap is NSX in a Civic, can't controll it, but who cares, I want one. I read on the auto show site that NSX is thinking of a V8 or V12 in the future.

GTR = 280hp NSX = 280hp Supra TT = 320hp

Looking at those numbers, for stock numbers they don't look very impressive. Not like 2.0L S2000's 240hp or Civic turbo with 300hp etc...

Money is better spent on turbo build up, than to swap something that don't belong - not saying it can't be done. I saw an Ferrori in a pickup, as well as, Corvettes....

An all out conversion should be a Ferrari 400+hp in an civic rear wheel drive. It is possible, if you have the time and money.
