Sorry the HX has vtec-e. That means it has at least one extra wire in the harness. This is partly why they are SO hard to find. The HX model is (or was) VERY desirable at both ends of the spectrum, economy and performance. On the performance side it is a plug and play with the SI (very sporty b16a) swap. All though that may mean you can find the parts you need, less the harness, rather cheap. I still don't believe you will get enough improvement to make back what you will spend. If you still want to go through with this, you could splice in the extra needed wire(s) into your harness.
If you spend much of your time at 70 mph look into aero first for a better return.
