usually the generic swap is to a B18 of some kind... its pretty standard and has been done reliably many times.. There are quite a few shops locally who can help you. I'm sure someone else from honda/acura tech will chime in here and help ya somemore.

But the best all around motor is the B18.. can hold boost, can work NA.. dosent matter, b18 can do it

you're biased

trade it for a manual. if you get a reputable swap to make the conversion to manual for you (assuming you want to push beyond the 80 hp barrier) you'll spend the car's worth converting with parts and labor.
