The only reasonable swap is the FS-ZE, the Japanese spec engine. I don't know of any other retailers/importers of it besides CorkSport, but you can search. Any other engine will need any number of things including custom mounts, ecu, wiring harness, transmission, axles, etc.

No, it's rated about 170PS which I believe is in the 160HP range...it has higher compression and is still NA.

Try these guys. They do mostly nissan and toyota stuff, but go to Japan a lot and can pick up just about anything. Friend of mine and a good guy.
