I don't see why not. You might wanna try the EG/EK forum.

No, I believe the HX uses the 96-98 style plugs.

Let us know how an HX performs when the 2nd intake valve doesn't engage until 5500 RPM

99 Civic ECUs should be interchangeable.

99s are interchangable.

Do not use the SI ECU on the HX. The HX VTEC is supposed to engage at 2700.....NOT 5500!

Naw i happen to know what its like when a hx has no vtec-e.
Someone toyed with my vafc oneday (reset it) and i found out the hard way.
Car took off good till about 3500rpms then it just starded screaming (at this point im thinking to my self WTF wondering if i blew off the itercooler piping)
At 5500rpms it felt like a 50 shot under the hood.
The tires chirpped HAHA.

Like I said above, I believe the 99-00 HX uses the 96-98 plugs not the 99-00 style. It won't plug in.
