If it is an import EG4 I think the VTi is correct.
Whereas an Aussie delivered EG4 would be a GL or GLi.

ahhh awsome, ive been told its rare? can anyone confirm this?

[whtteg]

If it is the vtec version yes it is rare

i have the non vtec version in my 88 ef6 crx :(

i have the non vtec version in my 88 ef6 crx :(

yes it says vtec on the motor :D

what are they worth these days? any different to normal egz?

[whtteg]

wouldnt know of price but since the aussie eg5 vti is the 1.6 vtec i wouldnt think demand would be very high, most people are doing b16 or 18 swaps - more power.

i would think it would have less power to the australian spec vti being only a 1.5 so possibly harder to sell, get parts for etc unless you are selling to a die hard jdm fan

[clutch]

Well the aussie version is 1.6 but it isnt vtec or sohc or something right?

[whtteg]

aussie is i.6 vtec sohc

[clutch]

Lol ah ok :P awell cant win them all i guess haha

[FastFwd]

my eg4 originally had a d15b4 in it. Sohc non vtec twin carb POS.

at least yours came with vtec

[Timmy_B]

Got any plans for it??
any pics of your car?

[clutch]

i wish the vtec kicked in sooner that 5.5k rpm, grrrr seems like a waste LOL

no no pics yet, couple of dints, isnt realy worth pics yet, maybe when ive fixed everything up!

[FastFwd]

thats the problem with a 1.5 sohc vtec. takes a little longer to get to 5,500 than a b series...

Just chuck pics up bro we wont judge...

[Timmy_B]

Agree with ^^^^^^^^^^^^
What do you have in mind for it?

[clutch]

[clutch]

Agree with ^^^^^^^^^^^^
What do you have in mind for it?

well firstly im working on the intake, i want to setup the cold air piping from the front bar or watever to a nice pod going to the manifold. At the same time im working on the body and interior, the interior is a realy light grey that im not sure i like, complete with realy light purple seating :-/ not sure with that either lol, was thinking of painting the dash and trims, but in the end its only brainstorming!

But fixing the dinted door and other minor body defects is my priority along with replacing the gearbox!

[Timmy_B]

ok, done. lol nice gun metal grey
