big difference between engines, e.g. integra is 1.8, latest civic is 2.0, previous jap import civic was 1.6 etc, etc.
be aware, some honda engines are mounted in the car so that the cambelt end is on the passenger side of a uk/jap car. that means they run anticlockwise

But the question would be.
Why bother?
Its a good engine, but its the CAR that makes TypeRs good track weapons (and good cars in general) not the engine, thats jus a very small part of a bigger picture.
