87 CRX DX and HF differences questions...
Hi,
Ok, so what happened was that in my search for a HF, I looked at an 87 CRX that was clean, and rust free, and unmodded. (Why do kids do such terrible things to Honda's? but I digress.) As it happens, this one is a DX model with a broke timing belt. Now, what I'm trying to find out if I can get HF milage by swapping in the 8 valve engine and higher geared transmission? has anyone tried this? I know the DX is 150 lbs heavier, but if I start swapping the parts that help make the HF light onto this chassis, (Rims, brake drums, etc) can I get close to that weight? Is a same generation HF engine plug-n-play with the vacumn system? What about the transmission? Can I get any gains in the meantime with a just a HF ECU and/or Carb? I'm just looking around for some info while I start working this car into a MPG machine.
Thanks
