thanks for all the replies, part of the thought behind the turbo with the taller gear ratios when I go up one of these west Virginia hills, the load will cause the turbo to spool and add just enough fuel and air to do the job at hand, rather than jumping down a gear, I wish I could find a smaller motor, I know the d series motors goes down to 1.3l but thats not in the US, actually they have a 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7, if I'm gonna go through the effort of a swap, I don't see dropping to a 1.5 making much of a difference, plus my motor only has 178k miles on it, gears are definitely in the plans, for spring, I'd like to swap in a cx trans, my tires I went to a narrower profile, it has 14" steel rims, I guess I should look for some moon disks, I'd like to know how much the aero mods improve, I'm not looking at aero civic territory, but maybe just a grill block, and an air dam
