can i put a s2000 engine in to a 95 honda civic?

yes, however it's going to require alot of fabrication, civics are FWD, S2K's are RWD. You would need a new drive train, new mounts, new engine components, new wiring, new suspension. It would cost so much and you really wouldn't get that much out of it. Why not just boost the civic motor?

Yes, but it will require a tremendous amount of fabrication. It will not bolt right in.

Yes with many modifications: Intake/ exhaust. Wiring harness and computer. Which trans are you going to use? 1995 may require an adapter plate. 2000 - different axles.Engine and transmission mounts need to be worked out as well as making everything will clear the hood when you close it. IE: alternator, ac compressor etc...

No you cant how can you think of that!!! LolI think that takes balls to ask so here I go trying to answer the question.Yes it will fit but first you need take in consideration the cost and items and labor needed.1) Custom motor and tranny mounts2) Custom Shifter bracket3) Modified fuel and spark system4) Shorten drive shaft5) Someway of mounting the rear end6) Shorten axles7) Move the fuel tank8) Possible cut the fire and tranny tunnelThe real thing is the cost of the work and labor out weight the idea behind it. I personal think it be a really cool project and done right you be on the cover of Hondatuning and PS I think its hot when a girl takes on a project of this matter

Its possible but will be a waste of money. Like someone said above, you need to convert the civic rwd. With all the money you spend doing that, you can either build a fwd all motor beast. OR a 400 whp turbo civic that will smoke a s2000.

Why not just put an B18C1 from a Integra GSR or B18c5 from the Integra Type R? It will fit in easily and you can mod it to deliver more than the S2000 motor for a lot less? While the S2000 motor is awesome on horsepower, you can get more out of the others with the right build and it will still be cheaper.

With the money you would spend converting everything over you could just go buy a good used S2000. you will spend AT LEAST $4,000 on the motor and pretty much have to fabricate everything from the driveshaft to cutting a tunnel down the center of your car for the RWD. A good used S2000 can be bought for around $15,000.

It's possible, but it takes so much work, and you have to buy so many parts. that its not worth it. also, by trying to put an engine from a rwd car into a fwd car you will lose a ton of whp. You would be better off buying an H22, B16, or if possible a K20

Its possible but very difficult to doWhy not modify the stock engine on your civicIts a much easier job turbo or superchargerbigger exhaust cold air intakehigh performance camshafts etc.
