vti, exi engines

[mike0094]

Is there seriously a NOTABLE difference between the non vtec engine used in the 94 accord exi and vtec engine in the vti(s)??

Not exactly what you're after, but I have a 96 EXi and a 95 VTI. The VTI (with VTEC) feels like it pulls stronger, but not by a lot. I'd say it's notable but only by a little. The EXi (non-VTEC) also pulls quite strongly.

I may be wrong but I looked up some specs, for my two cars, EXi is 103kW and VTI is 107kW? So not a lot.

[FAT VTI]

massive difference, far better off getting a vtec.

Whats a Honda without a vtec...?

[Troy]

Er, still a Honda?

ive driven a few cd5 vti's and i own a cd5 exi and i can quite safley say mine pulls just as strong or maybe even stronger than f22b1, i was looking into an f22b1 for my exi but to be honest im not going to bother, and never think a f22b1 vtec will scream like a B or H series, it will never happen!

^ your dreaming.

[ceedeefive]

there was no real noticable diffrence between the 2, apart fromt the fact mine seemed to pull harder higher up the rev range,

[zillacles]

F22B1 VTEC is just for economy not performance, so no surprise there. Swap in a H22!

[typesaccord]

yeah as above they are both economy motors with very little between them power wise if you are looking for more power / performance then look at the H22A as its a easy bolt in swap !!

[FAT VTI]

Yea but your comparing a car with vtec and one without.

Obviously 1 with would pull harder than one without- this is the bottom line.

If your going to start comparing H's and B's you are going beyond the scope of the question.

Personally I wouldnt bother getting an exi for the reason that a Honda with VTEC (regardless of whether it isnt as much as a H) isn't that much more expensive and is probably a better selling point.

you should remember an exi is the bottom range mate, vti is vtec and vti-s blows an exi out of the park and isn't THAT much more expensive and is easily twice as good a car.


VTI-S IMO, vti without leather feel like a grandpa's car....

[FAT VTI]

^ your dreaming.

agreed.

exi are shit cars , simple. Its a honda without vtec. its like a gun without a trigger, looks good but doesn't pull.

[ceedeefive]

ohh man, im not even going to comment!

na i will acctually, a f22b1 has vtec yeah, but seriously you can not say and VTI will blow a EXI out of the park, yeah, you got economy vtec and leather seats, and climate control whoopy shit,
like i said, ive driven a few vti's and i wasnt impressed,
