bumpppppppppppppp

Usually people would suggest intake headers and exhaust for a start. If you're still not satisfied then you can go into engine converions since its still a vti.

Also turbo could be a good way to go about it as well. its totally upto you how much money you wanna spend.

[aimre]

4 door EG vti is not a EG8, it would be a EH9, so ur either mixed up your numbers.... or dont actually have a EG vti.

Also, nothing short of turbo will make a significant diffrence. All ull do is increase "response" and that means nothing. Just something ppl on this forum say to justify and expensive worthless mod.

[jay_vtec]

sorry bro but it is ive checked my engine number and have been shown chart saying what civic is what and i have asked that question before and everyone said its either a eg8 or eg9

i have the ferio version

[blahZ]

turbo??

[teh_mechanic]

sticking with that engine,if you want to play with the big boys you need to turbo,or else start planning an engine conversion

[NightKids]

I'm wondering how his EG 'do alrite against commodores'?
They'll smoke u if they tried

[jay_vtec]

how much is the turbo installation and kit

[soss ick]

wtf, first of all aimre is right bro, i think u got your cars mixed up unless u got n engine conversion dun or something, we have slow POS cars.. the d16 sstock even with IHE is worthless it makes like 70kw ATW so i dont no wtf the holdens were doing wen u raced em but i dont no how u smashed em coz i have a "4door eg" and im telling u right now i dont win races against holdens...

[VT1-R]

Get Mugen headers and a custom exhaust with hi flow cat.. Get a Whale penis intake and a heavy duty clutch with gd flywheel.. Urs is SOHC Vtec.. dunno if u can use VAFC to tune.. but i tink so.. lol not sure.. That should give u a better run with commodores.. commodores are what i call dinosaurs engine.. Prehistoric technology. No point comparing with them...

After that if u wan more power. Go turbo. $3000 can get a gd turbo and install+tune another $1000.. den prepare another $500 for bullshit along the way. After turbo u will be seeing the other side of 100kw atw.. maybe say 110kw atw. U can go up against stock WRX n Slivias.. gd luck..

[teh_mechanic]

lets stop bagging the poor d16.like we said,to get anywhere near the skyline speed level you will need to turbo (or engine conversion,but this will be more costly,but your k20 will come with free baller status lol)
read through turbo section and search.its been covered heaps of times

Wow spend nearly 2k to get a few kw's....Top advice ;)....

[kazam]

hi im back as me

[bennjamin]

IMO

nothing under a turbo + low boost or build , or a B or K series conversion will give you any sort of power increase.

Either just make the car handle nice and have fun or spend a wad on a turbo setup/conversion that will make actual "power"

[kazam]

i agree with this guy

[teh_mechanic]

and ditch the auto,i wouldn't even bother trying to build a performance auto transmission honda

sorry bro but it is ive checked my engine number and have been shown chart saying what civic is what and i have asked that question before and everyone said its either a eg8 or eg9

Definately jap spec but not sure of the exact chassis code.Gotta be eg8...

[aimre]

No one said its an import...

EG9 is the SiR Sedan (ie b16)
EG8 has d15b

well there u go, i was right.

[EKVTIR-T]

4 door EG vti is not a EG8

Were you?Ok

[aimre]

sorry, i didnt realise people import shitter cars than we already have here

is it? mine says eg8 in the engine bay somewhere when i last checked. or is this just apply to vti's?

ah... i c now.

[TheSaint]

i have an EG8 and it is well... (gli) i would put at least a b16 b18 or k sumfin in it if i wanted a sports car... the only things i would upgrade on my car is the brakes and struts... and maybe a CAI but only a cheap one

my DC2 would pull away from jazzy commodores... and thats b18c.. double over head came 1800cc VTEC ... the EG8 is single overhead cam 1.5 NO VTEC .. in no way a sports engine lol

i would like to change the CAI to make mine run smoother tho... its a little chunky (not really bad cough splat.. juss not as good as it could be imo) would never put a exhaust on my EG... it would sound terrible lol

[simonnowis]

putting bolt on mods to a stock d15 engine is a waste of money if your looking for power, ull never be satisfied. the only way ull be able to keep up is either turbo or engine conversion.
both will need considerable $$$, so be prepared to spend to get results.

[jay_vtec]

well lets clear the air...i do have an eg8 took it to my mates at honda today and is a eg8 thank u also for the other ozhonda member for clearing that up too...now i have decided to go a turbo just need to know where to get em from and a good one at a damn good price....and lets get over the commodore thing if ive raced em an won then well done to me maybe im just a good driver :)

thanks fellas

dude come on he owns an automatic GLI are u running for rep points or u giving honest advice?

I didnt noe he own a GLI auto.. I tot he own a Civic VTI manual. If auto jus ignore wat i say and only turbo n K20 can help him.. lol..

[Elwood]

Dude, please dont turbo your automatic VTI.

Save your money for something differant like a VTIR civic and maybe put some dollers into that project because with your current car you'll get nowhere.

Just my 2c.

[jay_vtec]

ppl please its a VTI 5 SPEED MANUAL

[kazam]

yeh sorry i had posted in the wrong thread b4, theres another thread on this page with similar question sory

[Elwood]

Unless you have 10k spare..

..Dont bother.

[02gzm]

for the amount of money you'll end up spending it'd be a better option to just sell ur civic and buy one thats already had an engine conversion dude

[VT1-R]

dude come on he owns an automatic GLI are u running for rep points or u giving honest advice?

He has a VTI Manual la.. SOHC VTEC.. So please read the thread carefully.. Cheers...

A SOHC VTEC has slightly more potential than the 1.6 non vtec GLI. I would say if u are out for marginal gains say 10hp atw, heed my advise. Anything more, let turbo and B18CR above help u.

Bear in mind that turboing a SOHC VTEC makes it pull hard at lower rpm with Vtec kicking in at approx 4000rpm will make it enjoyable to drive daily with gd useable power.

So its up to you.
