    no, definately not worth it.

    and i dont think you are allowed to put older motors into newer cars.

    not worth it? why would that be though as the Eg Vti motors are an estimate of 100kw/atm + variable valve timing? where as the ek1 Non-vtec motors are less kw?

    Its illegal to put an older motor in a newer car.
    If you can't be a good example -
    - then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

    lol thats at the flywheel. and its more like 95 lol.

    and i have owned both cars and i could swear ek gli is faster if thats what you want to know. i even raced my old eg vti with my old ek gli. and gli won.

    thing is the amount of money your gonna spend, to a slow car (even honda wise its gonna be slow).

    i would continue saving 3500 dollars and get a halfcut b18c2

    guys not right.

    You CAN put an older engine in a newer chassis as long as it shares all current ADR and emissions requirements.

    In this instance , it is NOT legal tho as the vti engine is OBD1 and the EK1 is OBD2.

    Yeah my EH VTi with CAI & headers only impresses noobs because it has a couple of shiny parts under the hood and sounds nice when you hit changeover <lol>

    Otherwise it's kinda lame
