So what is so special about the vx engine that makes it be able to ignite so well?
Piston design? Ignition Design?

I posted a rather large pic.
Honda pistons are pretty much standard. Honda ignition systems are mediocre at best. The pent-roof combustion chamber shape has a lot to do with it but it certainly is not unique to the D15Z1. It's pretty much standard across the entire Honda lineup since the early 80's.

Oh and if anybody is planning on doing this (like me), it is a very wise idea to go with an aftermarket ignition module like MSD or the such.
These devices can multifire below a certain rpm, which is what you need to be able to light those lean mixtures (and it is exactly what the Honda insight does, multi fires the plug).
Just a heads up on what I have learned through my research in order to get my engine to lean burn safely :)

I have an AEM Twin Fire (CDI multistrike ignition system) on mine as part of converting it to direct fire.
"Q: What is Multi-Strike?
A: Multi-Strike is the process of firing the spark plug multiple times at low RPM to aid in idle quality, throttle response and engine start up. The AEM CDI can deliver up to 8 full energy spark events sequentially."
