I think everyone will agree with me that you just need to read around the site. There is a plethora of information on this site that you can access, you just need to read, read and read some more. check out the turbo projects off the home page. There is no sence in us telling you what to get for your car. Decide for yourself ::)

put a twin turbo C32B2 up in there. what do you want us to say?

just swap the best engine you can afford in and turbo it, then build the drivetrain, lighten it up, and get some slicks. and leave the hx badges on there for fun.

lets see he has an hx so it has VTEC-E where at lower rpms only one intake valve open to promote swirling(mixing of fuel and air) and at higher all open like normal.He's doing a little better than:

Civic DX/LX/CX rated at 106@6200HP 103@4600TQ 9.4C/R
Civic HX rated at 115@6200HP 104@5400TQ 9.4C/R
Civic EX rated at 127@6600HP 107@5500TQ 9.6C/R

read up on VTEC-E here: http://asia.vtec.net/spfeature/vtecimpl/vtec1.html
I believe he also has normal VTEC as discribed in this article

So he has lower compression ratio than EX and a less "wild" cam when VTEC is activated so he will lose less boost from being blown in the intake valve out the exhaust valve because there is too much overlap.so i say he is set, i dont know if he can use V-AFC to control both the VTEC-E and the normal VTEC. he might need to deativate VTEC-E and play around with normal VTECH switch point.

HX's also average 5+ mpg!!!!!!!!!!

If your still not convinced I'll trade u my base 1996 CX 50k on engine for you 1998 HX unknown miles

hey thanx for the site you seem like you know your stuff. it is a 1998 for who asked. I want to go turbo but im debating on if i should drop a prelude h22 or evan if i can. peace

mikefxu 08-04-2003 06:09 AM

Re:i have a honda civic hx what can i do
 
of course u can stuff a H22A in a EK civic ;D. hasport makes the mounts but u might find a different company or hasport on ebay much cheaper.

http://www.hasport.com/Products/Mounts.htm
Model:EKH1

The question is if you plan to ever boost the h22a and do u want to stay obd2 or switch to obd1

also how many miles are on that hx, is it auto or 5spd, i might be interested in the HX engine if you do a swap, i would need engine, ecu, and wiring harness.

Re:i have a honda civic hx what can i do

Re:i have a honda civic hx what can i do

---- its nice to dream there's other things that are more important than ur car like a good education and college then u can afford to spend money on ur car and then u probably will have enough money to buy a S2K or BMW or Mercedes

joeb420 08-05-2003 10:14 AM

Re:i have a honda civic hx what can i do

hx civic... trailering it to the junkyard will be your cheapest mod...j/k ;)

Your surest way to win are to sell me your HX rims. You need 15s, anyway, right?

Pete Estremera aka Trickturn aka Pest on various forums, co-owner of www.carolinahondas.com, has a 97 HX with B20/VTEC... dyno'd at 184 to the wheels, weighs 1450 lbs w/o driver, turns flat 14.0 on street tires with something always going wrong and flawing the runs... he's dropping the reputedly 220+ whp Honda Challenge B20/VTEC he just built into the car as HC changed some rules not allowing flycut pistons. I respect Pete, and what he's done to his HX, so ignore these foolios.

That D16Y5, and the wiring in your car, are oddballs. If you have any questions or problems resulting from any swapping around you try to do, Pete is the guy you want to call for help.

Awwww hell no, lol....mine lasted forever. I must have raced on the bitch 300+ times and she kept on going....

yeah its suppose to be an ultra economy car but they used light alloys instead of steelies and power everything and u can usually find them to be cheaper than a comparable DX. i think people confuse the power output of the HX because the 92-95 CX and VX had to provide less power to save fuel but the HX used technology instead to provide more power and fuel mileage. ---- so u get Vtec, more power than the DX,CX,LX(only 9hp though) and the best of all great gas mileage.
