Honda 2003 Civic
Interchangeable Engines (D17A2 1.7L VTEC)
You can swap with:
- 2001–2005 Honda Civic EX (D17A2 – direct fit)
- 2001–2005 Honda Civic LX/VP (D17A1 – non-VTEC, compatible with ECU/wiring changes)
- 2001–2005 Honda Civic HX (D17A6 – VTEC-E, lean-burn variant — not ideal for performance)
These engines share the same block architecture, but:
- D17A2 is the only direct VTEC match
- D17A1 lacks VTEC — requires ECU and wiring changes
- D17A6 has different fuel mapping and emissions setup
