hey guys, with the higher fuel prices im thinking of swapping motors to something more fuel economical. Anyways i have a 97 civic CX hatchback right now and i was thinking of the Civic HX swap. Only problem is that there is no civic HX motors kicking around up here in Canada. Would a civic VX swap be just as good?
any help would be great!

 

c'mon!

 

I don't think the return would be worth it. The CX is pretty thrifty as it is. Modify your driving habits

 

well i currently have a b16 in it, it sucks back the gas

 

Well crap! send me that b16 and I'll send you this hx crap in my garage I used to get upper 20's low 30's when I was easy on the ol' b16 throttle.

send me the b16, ill throw a z1 your way, =]. just put on a new hg=]. VX is way more fuel efficient. VX was made to save fuel.

 

lol i know the value of my b16 guys, I just wanna know where i can find an hx swap. the d15z1 seems cool but i dont really wanna put in an obd1 motor in my car...

 

Was there an equivalent to the HX motor in a JDM version? that may be easier to find

 

Why not just pick up an HX top end and throw it on any obd2 bottom end (mini-me style)?

Cause you know I have an HX head/intake/ecu/dizzy I wanna sell ya!
