*Very noob alert*
I have to start by saying I'm a complete 'tard n00b at this 
I've been up and down these forums trying to get information and I still can't figure out all the codes. I have an '01 Civic EX, but apparently it's not called that .. The closest I can guess is its an "EP"
Some one told me doing a "B16 swap" is a popular start .. I have no idea what that is ..
Can someone help me out with the very basics .. I'm talkin bottom of the barrel here

not that ive seen one since they came out, but i was under the impression the 01 had a d17, which had the same mounting points and intake/exhaust configuration as the prior d series motors... :goes to look for pictures for more information:

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

1)you have a d17a2, which is basically like any other sohc d series engine, but is 1.7L instead of the common 1.6L.
2)you have VTEC-E, and 127 stock hp
3)the b16 is torque-less.
4)either turbo and build your current engine, or drop a Kseries in it.

If I'm to build my current d17a2 .. What suggested steps can I look into to improve my performance .. I've been looking into a Greddy exhaust and header .. but after that I'm kinda in the dark
