Sorry to ask, but i still dunno what's the difference between a Si and Vti?

i own a vti but i find that it has not alot of torque... until u reach vtec its pretty sluggy...
dunno about a si
ive driven a mazda dohc and it feels pretty responsive whereas the vti on civic is only good when vtec kicks in.
bubble shape 91-93 Si DOHC None VTec 96K at the fly & No sunroofQuote:

I think its a bit harder to find aftermarket parts with the Si as its an older car but ppl thinks its a bit quicker than the VTi
Am I on the money?
Or you could just look here http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2
hehe

i own the eg Si
i've driven a eg vti, vtir, and the non vtec SOHC "gl"?
if ur tossing up between the two "Si amd Vti" i would have to go with the Si.
the Vti felt bad down low when i drove it (honestly this is not bias or anything". i rekon the Si has a nicer power band... Wat mods are u thinking of doing?
probly just choose the best option "price km's condition etc"
u in melbourne or sydney? cos if melbourne good luck finding a Si :)
quoted! both 96 KW.Quote:

But i might have a biased opinon on this topic, my car is (well used to be) a Vti..
ultimately, as others have said, just check condition.
food for thought- alot of old grandmas drive vti's, whereas the Si is more likely to have been flogged by someone..
well from the paper,, the vti has 1nm bigger maximum torque.. but that's the maximum it can reach only... i feel that the Si is more responsive and torquey throughout low revs... or maybe that's because the Si i drove is in better condition than the Vti (dont understand the lightness still as both cars are genuine, no mod)...
im from sydney.. i still have to look around i guess.. to find one in the best condition and best price haha im not in hurry.. thanx guys for ur help
there both "slow"
just get whatsever is more comfortable (ie sunroof) and whichever is in better condition.
i have a vti, there a good alround comfortable car..... for speed, im buying a motor bike.
vti's are gr8...get one if u can get ur hands on one.
ek vti is better choice.. d16y sohc vtec YO!
Both are SOHC VTec Yo!!!!!!!!!!! :DQuote:

Or so the Yanks say…… blow em all the time http://www.d-series.org/forums/?
But they don’t seam to have the some problem with the older D16Y1 :thumbsup:
Plus the bubble (EG) shape kills EK’s any day of the week EG :p :p :p :p
I drove several EG Si's and VTi's before settling on a very nice EG VTi. They both feel like the same car to me. My "bum dyno" tells me that they have the same power, same torque (with the same feel to the delivery) and the same handline prowess. If anything, the Si felt a little more understeery in the wet (I would guess because the engine weighs a little more being DOHC and all). For comfort (and wank factor) get a vti because many more of them seem to be fitted with A/C and they have a sunroof. You are also more likely to find a VTi with sub 150000km on the odo that hasn't been modified and thrashed than you are an Si. I found mine (94 VTi) for about 9 grand with 100000kms and immaculate paint and interior with no mods. It is very reliable and very comfortable and is happily faster than most small hatches on the road from that era. Picking between two is like picking between Heinze or Rosella tomato sauce, in the end you'll just end up liking one better.
