final gear change is the reasoning behind the hx tranny swap the ex has the lowest gears to make it "sportier" I do understand prob not paying for itself, on the other hand I did find a kit locally for $200 it has a t4, manifold, bunch of other stuff, the guy said all I have left to get is a tune, intercooler, piping, bov, and exhaust. don't quote me, but i think the ex trans is 4.2x final drive? and the hx is is 3.7x final drive, or maybe its ring and pinion. the thinking behind this is after reading about a guy that has a turbo civic that gets 55mpg, I do have an ihi turbo
