1999 DX economy build
Hey all, I have a '99 DX hatchback that has been my daily for almost a year now. I average about 45 mpg (90% Highway) with some minor mods; HX alloy's, rear seat deletion, '97 Del Sol front seats, over-inflated tires...
I am about to pick up a VX transmission this weekend which I expect to help my FE the most.
My d16y7 has only 96k, so a complete swap isn't necessary for the foreseeable future. However, I do have a 500 mile/weekly commute so a 1-2 mpg increase makes a significant difference.
Will a y5 head swap, vtec wiring, hx ecu allow me to achieve the lean burn, or will I have to make a complete HX engine swap?
thanks!
