Man there is almost never a NO when it comes to Honda/Acura. Ohh and there is an ECU.
Anyways to answer the guys question! You can do the swap. Im doing one for my wife this month on her civic. She wants a nice looking civic with the semi balls to back it up. The only problem is when you start building to the motor meaning aftermarket parts. The tranny will be turned to shit. If your not looking to build it them go for it. That motor will bolt right up and plug right up. About a 4-5 hour job depending on who is doing it. Deff a good thing to do yourself. Goodluck either way you go!
