No, because you must mate a Civic tranny to a Civic engine, and not any tranny either. Only B16 trannies can work on B16 motors, and D-series trannies on D-series motors.

Max HP for a D16Y8 engine that's in your Civic EX, is basically as much as you're willing to spend on it. If you have all the money in the world, then you can pump as much power out of it as you want. To be specific here, 200-220 WHEEL hp is about the max you can get out of the motor on stock internals (crank, rods, pistons, etc...) but if you surpass this then first thing to fail on you well be your rods that connect to the pistons. One if not all can and WILL snap in half. As for a build motor, I've seen over 400hp cranked out of an N/A (non-aspirated, or NO super charger, turbo or nitrous) motor.

If you go H22 motor, then YES anything engine related you'd buy pertaining to a Prelude, you couldn't buy Civic engine parts for a Prelude motor.
