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?

My best increase in fuel mileage was with the Greddy 15G turbo and
Greddy cast turbo manifold. This was all done using a Neptune Management system.
You could easily go with a 1.5L and still have great power when needed.
Feel free to pm with any questions.
