EG VTI Vtec motor into an EK1.

[Addictions]

just wondering if its worth it? anyone done it before? does it help the car perform any better or so forth. feedback appreciated guys:thumbsup:!

[hisoka]

no, definately not worth it.

and i dont think you are allowed to put older motors into newer cars.

[Addictions]

not worth it? why would that be though as the Eg Vti motors are an estimate of 100kw/atm + variable valve timing? where as the ek1 Non-vtec motors are less kw?

Its illegal to put an older motor in a newer car.

lol thats at the flywheel. and its more like 95 lol.

and i have owned both cars and i could swear ek gli is faster if thats what you want to know. i even raced my old eg vti with my old ek gli. and gli won.

thing is the amount of money your gonna spend, to a slow car (even honda wise its gonna be slow).

i would continue saving 3500 dollars and get a halfcut b18c2

reason why i did open up this topic is due to having a run about and fun car. its mainly for touge, where its mainly top end needed and the occasional track days. whats the non vtec ek1 motor produce kwatf?

[JDM.Power]

as stated not allowed to do that conversion
old motor into a new body shape
if you want top end spend 2k on a b16a conversion

guys not right.

You CAN put an older engine in a newer chassis as long as it shares all current ADR and emissions requirements.

In this instance , it is NOT legal tho as the vti engine is OBD1 and the EK1 is OBD2.

oh ok , thanks for clearing.

i still stand. lame ass conversion lol.

the only people i could impress with my car vti were like highschool kids just in the vtec phase lol

Yeah my EH VTi with CAI & headers only impresses noobs because it has a couple of shiny parts under the hood and sounds nice when you hit changeover <lol>

Otherwise it's kinda lame :(
