Civic EG Si Vs Civic EG VTI?

[hondapro]

Comparing the EG Si and VTI
they got the same power output and almost the same amout of torque
however, seeing as the EG Si is a DOHC engine compared to the SOHC VTI. Which one goes harder?

[Zilli]

in past threads it has been told that the VTI keeps pulling longer, so while the SI is shifting, VTI is still pulling, which gives the advantage

[VTi_b0i]

VTi FTW :) nicer interior... + sunroof :)

[Sydsyd]

VTi is the way...newer car (although old now) and sunroof is the main attraction:thumbsup:

[jdm_kid]

Vti = VTecccc yO !! lol
Vti sounds nice with CAI / headers / exhaust (: plus like everyone says sunroofff ! the girls luv em !

Vti & Si .. same output power, they both go hard !

[Chi]

Si is quicker than Vti, Lighter Chasis.

Ive owned both Vti and Si.

SHHHH! VTi = Better :) loll

[hondapro]

did the EG Si's come with sunroof as standard or aftermarket ?

I saw a EH Si a while back for sale with a sunroof, wondering if sunroof is standard just like the EH VTI?

VTECCCC'!

[VTi_b0i]

nahh only VTi's have sunroofs standard...

[90LAN]

factory option
sunroof is about 50 kg's heavier

[hondapro]

ohh afermarket then, that goes for both the EG and EH aye?

[VTi_b0i]

LOL tru, but Sunroof = worth the 50kg :)

[hondapro]

oh yeah btw
I usually look through the following:

carsales
drive
carpoint
autotrader

anything else i have missed out?

[Chi]

EG Vti has sunroof standard.

Si never came with sunroof as standard.

[DreadAngel]

Both are good la, if you've got the extra $$$ and don't mind some extras then go for the VTi, otherwise go for the Si la =)

[[[d a n n y]]]

Vti's got more torque!

[jdm_kid]

Does it matter ?! Ur probably gunna get a new engine neways lol

[Da1nONLY]

i'd prefer Twin over a SOHC anyday... :)

[EuroDude]

Si = raw DOHC fury :p

Ive heard that the SOHC is a bit slower at low RPM and u need to rev it high to get good power, whereas the Si is a bit better at low revs, i.e. in traffic.

But both are very similar, get either one :)

[DreadAngel]

Difference is minimal, if you do the conversion and want it cheaper all up, get the Si, if you want extras and got the $$$ for a newer car, VTi =)

[locote]

LOL... i paid 9k for my VTI and ripped the motor out 2 weeks later..
with the Si i would have saved my self a bit more cash but hey i got a sunroof :)..

D16y1 is a nice little plant easily beat a 1.8lt lancer and couple of v6 commos before i went B18c way

[NeRV]

locote you should have ran the D16y1 down the 1/4 to see what you would get, would have been good for comparison.

[VTi_b0i]

thats a quick conversion..
im assuming conversion of the motor is pretty popular amongst the EG'

[[[d a n n y]]]

for no hassle coversion get a VTI
the VTi already runs VTEC so no need to fix up the wiring and shit

you serious sunroof adds 50kg?

[aimre]

you serious sunroof adds 50kg?

big chunk of glass as opposed to a sheet of metal, another moter, all the extra rails etc, but most of all, all that extra reinforcment needed for having a gaping hole in your roof. [On that note, we cut the roof off a VL not to long ago, and watched it visibly sag as we were cutting]

I still love my sunroof though

[locote]

The drags werent open here in WA when i got my civic...
and i couldnt wait to get the B18c in it as they arent very easy to come by here in WA..
If i was to do it again id turbo and build the D16y1 or leave the B18c N/A..
Ive spent far too much money that ill never see again lol...
specialy when im only running 6psi it realy anoys me cause i wanna run more.

[VTi_b0i]

well run more then haha wat sort of power u pulling?

[locote]

hahah.. im scared of my motor goin boom, specialy with the heat waves we get here in perth...
I think the setup still needs more time and $$ spent on it. needs to be tuned on a laptop as its only been tuned with the hand controller.
need a larger exhaust aswell..
The dyno i had it tuned in is a low reading dyno i pulled 165whp from 120whp NA...
managed a 14.2@96mph N/A and 13.9@103mph turbo... i was getting traction NA but...
Once all the christmas and new years hectic time is over ill take it to get tuned at a different workshop that uses the correct software and i might raise the boost to 10psi...
For 6psi in quite happy with it as ive kept up with a couple of clubsports and beaten 2 S15s and skylines
