LOL, yeah the b8 is a gutless turd. I think it was rated at 76 hp.

 

not enough to warrant doing any kind of mods to it.

 

around 70hp which will probably get up to 80mph with the wind behind you , but seriously i think it has 70hp, so save up for that dohc swap and love the good gas mileage your getting right now

 

The CX is great for a swap though! Hell, I used it!

"don't be hatten", i just got rid of my cx and i got up to 92 mph, it was a very open road with no one on it but i did get up to 92 mph

 

i got the cdn yersion of the cx
102 hp baby yeah

 

i got the canadian version too...but ive always thought ive had 70 hp?

 

theres the cdm model made for canada with 102 hp (usdm dx model pretty much)
and a cdm model made for the us with 70 hp

 

i have a 92 cx that had a 8 valve head in it. what a turd. i put in a vx head and man does it roll out. i got the stock cx motor up to 100 mph in 4th gear, 5th slows down. actually now that i think about it i think that it was over 100 in 4th and only 100 in 5th. i'm still useing the stock cx trans with the vx head and now i can hit almost 90mph in 2nd gear. can't wait to get a good head in there and a y8 trans.

 

Okay okay, lets not all be hatin on the CX. The CX is good for what it is. It DOES have only 70hp, but that 70hp is more than enough to get the 2094lb hatchback around town. ****, my 2300lb sedan with the 102hp D15B7 had its days when it felt peppy. The problem with the CX (as well as the VX) is the HORRIBLE transmission.

CX /VX
1st-----3.250
2nd-----1.761
3rd-----1.066
4th-----0.853
5th-----0.702
Final Drive---3.250

With these gears, and the 5,000 RPM max HP point that the CX has...here are the shift points:

32 - 59 - 97 - 122

And that is all at 5000 RPM! If you slapped an EX/Si tranny on there, you would have a perfectly fine daily driver that would be able to merge just fine and keep up with highway traffic. However, with a different tranny you'll have to kiss your 40+ MPG goodbye. A guy on here had a VX (same tranny as CX) and put an EX/Si tranny on it, and went from 375MPT to 275MPT...something to think about.

Fuel Mileage Champ, and one of the few motors Honda has ever produced that creates more torque than horsepower, the D15B8:

 

i've hit 115mph in my 2000 dx

 

the CX is a TOTAL SCUMBAG!!!! do a swap NOW!!!!

thats funny cuz i got 2 tickets with the stock cx motor. 1 for 90mph in a 70 zone, the other for 86mph in a 65

 

Slowest piece of crap ive ever owned..... can wait for the ls to go in next spring.....Its to dam slow but gets good mileage and it still runs like a champ with 162,000 so right now i cant complain seeing as how i drive like mad for work....

 

i've got a 95 dx coupeit has the d15b7 bhp 102 at 5900 rpms and i've had it over 115 mph, never actually tried to get it higher though. or would it be diff stats for mine? mines canadian. i saw that some of your canadian cars were more powerful. would mine be?

 

cx's are rated at 70hp 91tq.......and no,that's 70 hp to the ground,lol. perfect candidate for a swap though!

 

I drove a 92 cx today, actually quite enjoyable compared to my 2000 jetta, which is for sale.

that's not a very good sales pitch that an 11 year old 70 hp car is more enjoyable to drive than your 3 year old jetta

 

I know this is going to sound stupid...but I have always wondered if anyone on these boards has taken the CX engine and tuned it up real nice and actually made power.

i don't know about a cx engine, but i did hear of someone with a dx hatch tuning their n/a engine and ran 13.xx in the 1/4mile.
