The D15 from your CX really has no potential. It only has 8 valves and you can't fit a golfball in the intake manifold.
I'd say swap it out for a D16Z6 for way less than $1500, to get more potential. Hell, for $1500, you could almost get a B16 and more definitely a B18B.

You have a ton of options depending on what your goals are.
If you want to keep your d15 you need to change out the head tranny and computer which would give you a mini me.
Then you have your sohc swaps. You could go with a d16z6 or a jdm d15b (a bit more responsive then the z6).
Most dohc swaps are going to cost you more then $1500.

From were i live i can get a legit ls for 400 complete swap. Since your singlecam has less milage i was put a singlecam vtec head an ex tranny and a singlecam vtec ecu for now. Or also you can juice the motor.

$1500 might get you an LS motor if your lucky....but if you don't know how to do it yourself then it's gonna cost more.
I wouldn't waste money on the cx motor.

2300 is good.
What's your budget? goals?
If it were me though, In theory I'd swap in a b18b and boost it later. Make sure to pair it with a b16 or gsr tranny.
