Young GRASSHOPPER, you must crawl before you can walk. The 13BREW is th FD engine, it can be done but it is a PITA swap.
Jims5443 has succesfully done this mod. research!.
Your first goal is to set a realistic budget. How much $$ do you have? . What kind of tools to you own?. What kind of Facilities do you have or have access to?. Can you afford for the car to be down for long periods of time? Is this your only car? Can you afford the Insuurance?

i mean... a stock t2 has more preformance then any honda civic would ever dream of having.... and not only in horsepower but in corners and everything.... i mean you can still get a good 220-250 horse out of a stock t2 which right there would kill all of your friends RSX Type Ss'... Hundyi Tiburon GTs'... most camaros and mustangs.

also a the local autoX thier is a guy mike ancas (wrote a book on rx7 performance and owns a cosmo) but he is also a civic finatic that would kill damn near nehting his main competition is a single turbo supra that has been in the pages of SCC a few times
that civic owns him nearly eveytime in case your wondering SCC nicknamed the supra the wingless wonder you can look it up if you like
