Civic VTIR

Hi fellas, I am seriously considering buying a EG Civic VTIR or SI.

But I dont know much about these cars, other than they look sweet :D
Im hearing different things about the cars.. some say there slow, some say there quick. Would any of you guys be able to compare a EG VTIR civic to another car??

Would a Vtir beat a Pulsar SSS? or even keep up with slight mods (exhaust/filter)

Any info/specs would be great
Any problems with these cars??
Have most been thrashed? are these engines able to take the abuse?
What would be better for a daily driver with some performace, Vtir or Si?
Are you able to pick up these cars for around $7000?

cheers fellas, any help will be appreciated :)

Its an EG VTI OR Si. No such thing as an aus deleivered EG VTiR.
As ur question states, these cars are both 96kw factory rated, the SSS is 105~kw factory rated. On paper, considering power and weights, its a drivers race, although the SSS has the atvanatge of the 2.0L engines touque. I never raced an SSS before so i cant tell u. Either way, the honda's are a much nicer breed of car :P

Just out of interest, a VTiR will wipe the floor with a SSS, although no SSS driver will admit it. 'moite, ma fully sic ESESES wood beat that hundu crap ne day of the week"

Thanks for the correction Weq.. Yeh what I meant was a VTI :oops:

You can't say a car is slow or quick because it's a matter of personal opinion. A car can be fast to someone but slow to someone else. There is a difference between a VTi and VTi-R. Sorry I'm not sure if you can get them for 7k but a VTi-R you'll be looking at 15k minimum. And most are pre-riced out unfortunately.

OK i tested this.

Kwinana Motorplex 1/4 mile dragstrip.
tyres @32PSi

A fully stock EK VTiR hatch 1.6 NA
weighing in at 1123kg
vs
98 Nissan Pulsar SSS Hatch 2.0 NA
weight unknown - but stock.

Civic 16.225 vs SSS 16.252

out of 3 drags, the civic won each test. The above times were the fastest from the 3 tests. On each test, the civic got the jump and pulled nicely in VTEC, however, the SSS pulled back in the second half of the strip. An Eg VTi recorded times of 15.5. i believe [civraca]
The best recorded time of the EK civic VTiR is 15.7

Man those are slow times for the EK VTiR :shock:

The VTiR was not prepped for drag neither was the SSS.
Yes i agree that the times are slow but is was to simulate and "off the street stock VTiR"

I'm sure this was discussed awhile back. Personally I think the SSS will be quicker than the vti and Si. Actually it made around 7-10kW (at the wheels) more than my Si (both cars stock) on a dyno day I went to awhile back.

Vti-R will kill a SSS.........and some of them on PGA have admitted it ;)

Firstly:

EG VTi = SOHC VTEC D16Y1
EK VTiR = DOHC VTEC B16A2

Secondly:
I've never lost to a SSS on street or strip.. though I am running 15.61" with semi-stripped interior VTi. SSS seems slow - I dont know what all the fuss is about.. they might have you off the line thanks to their torque, but once you hit VTEC, bye bye SSS !!!

SR20 Vs VTEC

Damn .. ive never seen a Nissan forum actually in unison to say that the Civic VTiR is quicker than the Pulsar SSS.

impressive. :)

the vtir will always be quicker as it has better power to weight ratio...
unless the race is conduct on a upsloping hill...the civic will always win!
n14 SSS arent that quick....even more mum's Lantra could stay neck and neck with one!
