Default Possible engine swap for 92 civic?

The engine I have now is just a D15 single cam. I'm thinking about swapping instead of doing a lot of rebuild work. I'm new to the world of honda. I know there's a RIDICULOUS amount of possibilities. Right now I'm trying to find something that doesn't require much fabrication. Is there another engine besides a 1.5 that will drop in? I'm ok with buying different axles or shift linkages. A lot of other things need to be replaced as it is so why not swap out as much as I can at 1 go?

Thanks for the time and any advice you may have.

bro almost any engine can be swapped into a eg if you have the money and mechanic ability...they have direct bolt in kits for b,d,h,j,and k-series motors...its all on how much u want to spend...for an easy swap i suggest a b-series all thats needed is a ecu,94+integra mounts,94+integra linkages,94+integra axles,and a b-series swap of course and you have an easy swap to drop in....GL bro..

Thanks for the input. I've been talking to a couple honda nuts at work and the general consensus is to go for a b18.

Are there any good go to websites to look at mount kits or things of the sort?

A k series isnt a BOLT IN... you have to cut the frame retard.

I'm definately trying to stay away from cutting things. Specially the frame. A b18 is still looking good.

Is there a better B series to use if I wanted to eventually boost the engine?
