my friend was the one that came up with this insane idea of a engine swap now call me crazy would you put a RB26 into a civic

Would it even FIT into the engine bay? Even if it fits, doubt it'll line up with the transmission. Civic is FWD, after all.

too big of a motor , you would be burning out in every gear plus the time and money it wouldnt be worth it at all

its not even possible, the nissan skyline engine is huge and its RWD youd have to do alot of work to it. but if it w youd be better off with a K20 turbo or even an h22 turbo

Anything is possible to someone who has enough money. Basically you'd have to rebuild the Civic from the frame up in order to accomodate the RB26, and to correct the person before me, the RB26 is AWD via the ATTESA-ETS control system that makes it behave like a rear wheel drive car in most situations.
