1.7Liter Automatic Engine swap?

I need help. I just purchased a 2005 Civic LX sedan with an Automatictrans and a1.7L. The 1.7L non VITEC does not support upgrades very well due to the weak internals.
I want to do an engine swap but want to keep the automatic transmission.
What engine can I swap in and keep the Auto Trans?
What about the Acura RSX engine?
I am looking for 190hp.
