1996-2000 HX, these are only in the coupe model!!! Same family engine. The better engine to get would have been JDM D15Z1 with the triple Vtec-E for FE, that engine has dual Vtec so you can lean it out even more and have more control if done right! But since i am bot a tuning expert and the HP different between thr two put me off. It also helped that I got a killer deal on the Y5!!
In have already added this to my garage. I am currently sourcing parts and breaking in. Give it about a few weeks, I will post some results!
