The engines are totally different. The trans won't bolt up, your ECU can't handle the RSX trans in the first place, and the RSX's ECU won't like running your engine either.
Basically, it's impossible. It would be easier to put the whole RSX motor in your car.

the biggest reason is that the RSX engine and transmission rotate clockwise where the Civic rotates counterclockwise - the RSX has the transmission on the driver's side, not on passenger side like Civic
