As some of you know, I've been cleaning up my bay. This Civic's bay puts mine to shame...so clean.

And if you go to http://www.whipfactory.com/ there's a short video of the car accelerating on the highway...it's pretty fast, especially for a N/A Civic. Makes me want to buy an EF hatch and throw a K20 into it. tongue.gif

Now imagine if that K20 was boosted. Traction would be horrible. That engine bay is pretty f'n amazing. IMO the valve cover needs to get powder coated.

why do honda engine bays have a whole lot less going on than a celica engine bay? you pop the hood on a celica and you see hoses and wire everywhere. but not much more than just an engine on a civic...

Well... the engine is only like 1/2 way together in the first picture...

This is quite a tricky swap though... much more involved mechanically than a 3SGTE swap or a 4AGE swap. Custom header, custom mounts, either a fuel cell, which is what I think the Civic in the picture is running, or swapping over the fuel system from a donor... amoungst a lot of other custom nick-knacks...
