Well its pretty much exactly the same as the Civic swap.

The best bits I can think of are the place racing mount kit, and Axles.

This way you dont have to mess around with making custom axles, and the place racing kit Iv seen on an EK Civic retained the A/C and power steering.

Theres some rewiring required, but you already have VTEC etc, so its not that bad. With all the right bits its maybe a weeks work in your garage, or several days for a mechanic who know's what he's doing.


Your biggest advantage over dropping one into a Civic is you already have bigger brakes. I would personal get better pads, and look at larger discs, say off an Accord, but they will handle the extra speed better than stock Civic brakes.
And since the suspensin is set up slightly diffrently it should handle the extra hp and weight with far less fuss than the Civic's do. (think less Wheel spin. )
