Question

Thanks,

First thing i tried was redbook! but sometimes the info isn't correct.

Is there anyway to tell on the engine that its a gli??

I'll googlize a search and see what i can bring up!

6.5?? hmmm... how come?

most of their information is correct. from memory, GLi is EFI and its a 1.5L. Where as VTi and Si are 1.6L

the power for VTi and Si is 96kw. all cars are Front wheel drive.
VTI- SOHC VTEC
SI- DOHC no vtec
GLi - from memory is SOHC - no vtec

vtir convesrions vary between diff motors and conditions. expect something from 3k-7k installed for civic/teggy vtir motors. hope i helped

i rekcon its worth about 6.5k

the engine will be the same as 94civicvti said. 1.5L single cam fuel injected. Redbook says it has 74kW 133Nm. I doubt the exhaust mods would make much difference at all. If you aren't too worried about acceleration and just want a good looking car to cruise around in then this sounds alright. However, if you are at all concerned then I'd wait.

The engine code will be located on the engine looking at it from the front about half way down on the left hand side. should have d15b7?? not sure about the number.

edit: just looked at the ad. Looks ok. I don't like the wheels but if that floats your boat. It's not going to go as well as it looks and I wouldn't pay anywhere near what he's asking. I'd much rather a stock vtir for that money.

well.. i've seen the car a few times.. and it goes quite well..

what i'm debating is that he wants to swap my prelude for his and a cash adj.. just trying to ascertain how much cash to ask for :)

looks like a nice car but the rims are gay.

yes i have the specs book for the civic and 92 gli has 74kw with 133nm for gli. vti has 96kw with 145nm. i still think 13,000 for a car with 200k on it is asking way too much. i think he is trying to get his money back for his mods he has done. i wouldnt buy it at all.
the extractors still wouldnt beat a vti or si, plus the added weight of his stereo and mags would probably have made no difference anyway. hehe

dont know the engine model name though.

what model prelude do you have.

1997 VTIR, no mods all stock!

why do you want to swap a vtir prelude for a gli civic???

Cause am sick of my VTIR, and want a change. always wanted an Eg.

Now whether its a GLI, SI or VTIR, i'm trying to see the difference.

I'm looking at an SI next weekend (its in Syd)
and the GLI today.

Both want to swap theirs for mine, both are the same age /k's. just wanted to see what i should do.

Am having a crap time trying to sell the damn thing.... nobody wants preludes anymore!!!

But above all that, i don't want my wife driving the prelude! and in 8mths time.. we won't be needing it anymore..
