I have a cx engine and i was wondering if I could place a dx head onto the cx block? would everything macth up since they are both SOHC and non vtec? will it make my engine perform like a dx instead of a slow cx? Has anyone just tinkered around with their cx engine before they got a swap?? I would like a swap but I have no money for that right now, I just wanna play around with my slow engine.

I've put my DX head on my buddies CX. All you need is head, gaskets, ECU. If you want more power i would suggest getting intake manifold and throttle body too. The TB on CX is sooo friggin small.

the cx-dx felt the same as my dx-ex conversion.

BTW CX has a lil bit lower compression, but you will still add like 20 ponies to your ride.

hahahahhahahah what a waist of time man. just buy a real motor

 

it'll work.

 

what year cx is it? if its a 96 up it has the same motor as the dx and lx so u would be gaining nothing. better to find a vtec head from an 92-95 ex/si or 96-00 ex that would be alot better than the non-vtec head. by the way the best bang for your buck would probably be swapping your tranny for an ex tranny.
