First of all there was no EX trim back in 88. Second, he's not you're friend if he's selling the car for $1300, esp. an 88 4 door. Going price for 88-91 Civics are around $1000, well depends on your area.
For the swap you will need motor mounts, wiring for VTEC, convert DPFI to MPFI, cable tranny, axles, and a new hood for any 1.8L+ swaps. For a b16 you won't need it.

If money is an issue, the B18A/B from 90+ Integras should have more spunk in the civic body then the integra, based purely on weight... that is, if you can survive without VTEC.
BTW, why you selling your RX-7? Too many electrical issues? I know mine honestly has at least 15. It's amazing it still runs.

Hmm... I would say a B20/VTEC, sleeved and bored, with some nice low compression pistons, headwork, and a fat-ass turbo with some kind of a stand-alone ECU controlling the mess would suprise him
You are expecting a lot, but with these little B-series DOHC buggers, the sky is the limit.
