umm...i have a 98 hx......i work at a honda dealrship (so i gots a the hook ups) and one of the mechanics there told me that its possible to take the cam and the ecu out the same year ex and put them in my car.......has anyone ever does this before?

 

HX has VTEC-E, totaly different from VTEC. that guy is dumb. HX uses a DX cam. only thing your "VTEC" does is activate extra valves. you run around on 12, then 16 when you hit VTEC. no duration or lift beifits buddy. get a EX head.

 

or better yet, a 3 stage VTEC head from japan. it has both the benifits of VTEC-E (fuel economy) and VTEC (performance) in one. oh prob is you need to get the harness with it to run the 2nd set of vtec wires (it has 2 vtec solenoids) or just just run your own wires and plugs, and find the ECU (most where automatics, 5-speed ECUs i was told are kinda rare).

anyway, just a thought.

i was told that the ony differnce between my vtec and an ex's...is that it jstuy opens differnet valves at differnt times....one for power one for fuel economy....so theoretically i cant take that cam, ecu, and the tranny out of an si, and put that all in my car...it would probably take a little wrench work...but i think its possible

 

You can't use a B-series cam in a D-series
