Can anyone point me to some factual information on the difference between the cx and vx? is it just the transmission for the gearing? It's hard to find a stock vx and i am really wanting to know what it would take to get the cx to the vx 50+mpg levels. Thanks for any and all input. And if anyone knows of a vx forsale, please let me know, thanks.

 

Both cars use the same transmission. The CX had a D15B8 non-VTEC motor and the VX has a D15Z1 VTEC-e motor. The CX also doesn't have any sound deadening. These are the only differences that I know of, but I'm sure theres a few more.

 

CX
Engine: D15B8
displacement: 1493
horsepower: 70@5000
torque: 91@2000
compression 9.1:1
valve train: 1.5L 8-Valve SOHC
Curb weight MT/AT hb: 2055/na

VX
Engine: D15Z1
displacement: 1493
horsepower: 92@5500
torque: 97@4500
compression 9.3:1
valve train: 1.5L 16-Valve SOHC
Curb weight MT/AT hb: 2055/na

 

so its only the engine?

 

I'm rolling the stock VX

 

wanna sell it? lol

 

front radiator blocker
front lip
rear diffuser
wheels are aluminum? not steel


mainly it's the engine.

 

also ive never seen a CX with a tach.... also there are two extra pieces of sound deadining in the trunk on the VX.

 

really. so same transmission, different engines. what about air bags? anyone know the best way to find a vx?

 

The engine is diff but you can't just stick a vx engine into a cx. You would have to change wire harness, ECU. Also the vx had lightweight alum wheels, CX had steel. Clusters are different. few other minor differences in the two models.

 

Air bags are the same, 92-3 has only driver bag, 94-5 added the passenger side.

I beg to differ...my 92 had no bags at all

 

Someone changed it then.

 

in theory, if i found a mint cx turn it into a vx... at least to ahieve the gas mileage of the vx?

 

Where's amy when you need her, she's tear this **** up.

 

VX
- lighter flywheel
- 13 inch alloy wheels
- catalytic converter attached to header for it to warm up faster
- 5 wire O2 sensor
- front and rear diffuser
- front lip
- has a tach with economy shift light
- engine is as said above

 

fuel economy shift light?! lol thats awesome.

 

Cx does have sound deadening. In the front driver and passenger floor.

My 92 vx also didnt have an airbag, mine was completely stock. alot of 92 hatches didnt have drivers side airbags

 

my 94 vx has driver and passenger side airbags...and AC...such luxury..now adding power doors...

 

so is their any site that has the exact specifications?

 

22 horsepowerzzzz...enough said.

 

o yeah and the CX didnt come with side trim or holes for side trim FTW.

 

The miserly VX weighs the lightest with a 2,094-lb curb weight, with the CX not far behind at 2,108 lbs, but the vx is signaficantly more fuel efficient.....

 

how many gallons of gas does the vx and cx hold?
