An engine swap is definately possible, and if you do choose to swap, any B series engine will suffice (a B series will get you about 160 hp). B series is the same engine in the civic SI and acura integra.

108 hp, I repeat, 108 hp, will not be fast no matter what you do to it, just enjoy your great gas mileage. You can install a turbo, but the cost to power ratio is way too high, an engine swap is your better bet both for price and power.

yes, but you will most likely have to convert over to a 5spd
