put a b18c5. Arguably best B series swap.

just drop in a d16y8..

for my hx i would just get an ex trans and boost then call it a day.
$100 for trans
$600-$1000 boost set-up

Is your car manual or an auto? If it's that shitbox cvt I'd dump it and swap it for a manual one, and also listen to specv5150 he is one of the few hx guru's that we have here
