replacing the stock engine. the compression numbers are way under oem honda speck. i had around 120psi on each cylinder and min is 135psi.i came buy a good d16y5 head at pull a part and got it for a good price.so i decided to build something with economy in mind. and this is what i came up with. im still on the fence about the transmission but may go with a honda vx or even the stock hx trans. im shooting for avg 40mpg with mixed driving and would like to see the old epa numbers of 38 city 45 hwy. i have read that the vx trans will net 1800rpm at 60 mph and net around 60 mpg hwy. ?
