As Im sure your all aware by now my motor is blown all to hell... (well just the block it turns out) so we are planning to take the head ecu vtec parts etc and put them on my friends 2000 HX and see what that does for him.... he has AEM CAI, Tanabe Racing Medallion, DC Ceramic Header and hes dog slow b/c its auto (well kindve it has that damned CVT tranny) he actually wants to use my tranny too although i keep telling him itll probably cost him an arm and a leg to convert his to stick ... is this true since hell have the tranny ? and what do you think the head ecu and vtec parts will do for him ? do you think theyll even work ? thanks for any input
