Thanks guys... the article is great. And knowing to close-off the Holset idea is useful. My car is a loooong-term project. I have had it for a decade and I'm going to wear it out part by part and rebuild it into a new car. I'm learning, preparing.
Another question: obviously I could move down from my 1.6L engine to the previous Civic's 1.5L--maybe even 1.3L--with the added power and with my lighter car. I could also go for much taller gearing with the added power and still be able to climb hills about as effectively as now with my 1.6L, no?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
