You'll still be missing the HX gear ratios with those swaps. Or, do you already have that VX swap in place? |
Yup. That's the HX ECU (ECM/PCM). When searching for a DX one, I get everything but the ECU on the list, seemingly confirming what the local dealer told me. The HX conversion would be more work, and I would have preferred the chance to plan and learn. But maybe this is motivation! My plan re: the gears is to try this substitution of the final drive from a 1992 VX I bought for $58 shipped, with the countershaft. It should slip right into my tranny and actually give me taller gearing than the HX. Then I'll shorten the gearing a little with the VX wheels I have and be about 10% taller than a stock HX with maybe 80lbs less rotational mass and unsprung weight.
So does anyone know if I would need to swap for the full HX air intake manifold or is their a way to add EGR to the existing DX manifold? I am guessing my answer is no.
