Other thoughts... you could get the whole D17 Civic HX engine and bolt it in, needing the wiring harness, ECU, and HX transmission. That would give you a learn burn "HX/LX" or "HLX." Increase the complexity of that idea further and get a 1992-1995 CX/VX trans.

More simply, bolt in a new D17 LX engine, keep your current harness, ECU, and then decide if you want to keep your transmission or buy an 2001-2005 HX transmission for its taller gearing. A 2001-2005 HX trans will bolt right onto your "new" 2001-2005 LX engine.

BTW, I compiled as rigorously as possible a variety of transmission specs for these cars: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post378478

Have you bolted a D15 trans to a D17 motor or vice-versa? Everything I have found says they won't bolt up, though I've never tried it. Now I'm curious.
