I was wondering if anyone has tried this combonation. This would obviously be for the super economy not to bring out more power. Since the CRX comes with D series I figured it would it should be rather straight foward. I figure the engine would bring out more mpg than it does in the vx or hx since the CRX is so light. I was just thinking about this when I saw a hybrid and thought how overrated they are.

 

yea it will work, my homie has that in his car right now and runs frine. a lil quick even. Its made for economy but it still is vtec. 12 valve till like 2500 or sumthin, 16valve till 5200 then vtec. it will work just fine

 

If it hits normal vtec at 5200, that would make it a 3-stage jdm d15b, wouldn't it?

In any case, it works. Bunger has on here a 88 hf with a d15z1, and that's like the perfect combo. Somewhere in the future I'm looking to swap in the d15z1 also, but first I'm going auto to manual.

 

doesn't the d15z1 have a funky five wire o2 sensor that costs a ton.......

 

yes, i believe its a wideband o2

 

Yup, it's the five wire wideband.

 

Isn't there a second VTEC-E motor that comes out of the HX?

 

I think that is the d16y6 or y8 or something like that, not sure though. Lemme search a bit.

 

1996-2000 Civic HX: D16Y5

 

Yo! ppl i have a '94 VX. 5spd, 69K, D15Z1. Got a new O2 sensor for it, like $175 Frekin car runs awsome, check sig below...

 

Can anyone give me some numbers of what mpg you get or at least a rough est?

 

Bunger said a while ago high 50s low 60s, though I'm sure you can push it higher with a few other modifications, especially with that engine.
