Me and my friend Murat "Vtec Power", Jasper "Civicsick" just finish a 2000 civic front end convertion on a 96 civic. So ask Murat hes going to make a write up about how to do it. Be ready for a lot of work its no 4 hour job. If you have all the tools it will take about a day.

well I dont see why you would want to do it. I guess maybe you have some personal preference, but either way. you need:
1. EG Coupe Hood 2. EG Coupe fenders 3. EG Radiator support 4. EG headlights 5. EG Coupe Bumper 6. EG Bumper Support. If you have that 2 days a few buddies, tools, a grinder and a sawzall. It should swap no problem.

I think it sounds like a nice project if you can get it done cleanly.

you are going to needs like 2 other people to pull this off in two days. You should take the front bumper, and bumper support, and see if you have any problems. Before you take everything off. Oh also see if your radiator support is wedded to your frame.

Make sure to post pics when you are done with the conversion.
We need more info on what your goals are to determine what size turbo you should get: Internal or external waste gate? HP goals? If you?re going to try and buy a turbo off another type of car, the general rule of thumb is to find a turbo car that has size engine and get that turbo. Still it all depends on what mods you plan on doing to the engine and how much PSI you want to push.

well you'll need to cut if off and grid down the the rest of the radiator sopport till the eg radiator support fits right on there.
