Sooo bought a Honda VX, but after doing some digging it seems i got scammed slightly here, the engine is different than the body, has a D16Y7 bottom with a D16Y8 head/transmission and p28 ecu. Not exactly what i was wanting, but live and learn, though anyways, can i even get near the amazing VX mpg with this higher HP engine? or should i just cut my losses and go looking for another cheap VX? or should i go hunt down an engine/ecu for it? I only paid 1500 for it and though it does look like a pig it though it does have some likable upgrades ( lowered, GSR brakes and new exhaust).
