I have owned a cali VX for three years. I have been extremely happy driving it living at 1400' and driving it to 6000' elevation where I work averaging around 43mpg. I let a friend borrow the VX and the water pump seized blowing the motor. (friend held it to the floor for about 5 minuets in first gear red line having a mental breakdown) I have read somewhere that a D16Y5 motor will mount right to the trans and is plug and play for a swap getting close to the same mpg. My question is can you drop a 2005 civic HX D17A6 into a VX with the same ease. Would love to have more power with the same-ish gas mileage. Really hope it is possible due to the cost of rebuilding the D15Z1 as opposed to having more power with the high geared vx trans.
