Also, will I need to brace the car to accommodate the additional power?

If the motor mounts are the same then yes as long as you can bolt it up it will work,but you will have to put the computer from the 09 in as well and maybe the wiring harness.

It will be tough but you can, your gonna have to use a new transmission as well, the old one, the engine will reject it.

not easily. these are completely different chassis. not saying it cant be done, but it'd probably be cheaper to buy a used Si.

yes - Hasport has mounts for this. they're $600 for the set. and you'll need a lot more than just mounts.

yes you can...hasport makes custom motor mounts for the k series engines to be transplanted in many older hondas....you could also do a harness conversion to run the stock k series ecu or use a aem ems stand alone unit.....the chasis does not require any extra braces but people would still put on some strut bars and aftermarket springs and shocks to support the difference of the weight and power....along with bigger brakes to stop faster......
