I'm pretty sure the HX motor is the Y5...no? And if I'm not mistaken that uses the VTEC-E system instead of the VTEC system..which is weaker of course. Other than that I think they're the same, maybe a cam difference or something :-\.

Yes but I have heard its just simpler and there are less headaches if you just swap a y8 in.
