Hey guys, Im looking into buying a EG Civic with future plans to upgrade engine later down the track.

Breeze (carby) or GLI (efi) ?

does it actually cost that much 2 convert to efi cause i can pick up a breeze for around 1.8k ? is converting efi a real pain in the arse as ppl say they are lol

Just after any personal opinions or knowledge which would be cheaper down the track ? Pro's & Con's 2 help seal the deal

:thumbsup: Thanks Heaps !

Just go the GLI for sure, as you say youll be upgrading the engine down the track obviously to another injected motor (b16 or b18) so may aswell have the groundwork to start off with and save some dough in the long run

good luck

search bro

+1 to what chris said, unless you want the ultimate in weight reduction for a killer k/h swap, get a breeze. but thats probably a long way off if you're still only looking for a car

Yeah dont bother with Carby , converting it to EFI is annoying & time consuming.
save yourself the trouble and get an EFI.

You'd be able to have a workshop do a engine+Fuel Injection conversion for that price.

Get the Carby.

Yeh you really will save heaps. Check out these guys with k20a in their ek hatches forsale for under 20k. To build it from scratch parts and labour the bill would be 30k easy. Saving like 10k.
Check out the forsale threads you'll see.

If you can pick up an eg breeze for the 1.8k mark you stated in your post.
then yes you can pretty much save yourself a bit of dollars converting it to efi considering you know how to fit these parts in yourself.
