Never. As long as you keep it properly lubricated (ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR OIL AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER) your timing chain will never need replacement.
Timing chains were around before belts, but belts are quieter, which is why Honda used them for so long. The only car I've ever seen with a broken timing chain was a Nissan Altima (94-95 or so) with about 360,000 miles.

For the K20Z3 (Si):
Measure the tensioner rod length between the tensioner body and bottom of the flat surface section on the tensioner rod. If the length is more than the service limit, replace the cam chain and the oil pump chain.
Tensioner Rod Length Service Limit:
13.5 mm (0.53 in.)

Such a wiseass...
Like I said, it's not part of scheduled maintenance, and I doubt you'll have the car long enough for the chain to stretch.

Yeah, no kidding. I can just imagine someone wondering how they are to know when to replace the cam chain. Then they read the service manual, and after reading, they go to the car and look at the timing chain case cover. Then all you hear is, "FFFFFF UUUUUUUU!!!!" lol

recommended service check interval is 150,000 miles. Check is detailed as below, with replacement as necessary.

So, does the r18 have a timing belt?
Chain.
The DX coupe has the R18A engine, so it has a timing chain. With the exception of the hybrid (which I don't know at all...), all 2006+ USDM Civics have a timing chain.

The J35 and J37 series V6 engines all have timing belts.

Just to add to what you stated,
The ES9 ('03-'05 Civic Hybrid) with the LDA1 has a chain.
The FA3 ('06-'09 Civic Hybrid) with the LDA2 also has a chain.

Do yo chain hang low, do it wobble to the flo'?
If so, chain and tensioner should be replaced. /thread.
