newbie-vtec questions

[pauliee]

hey guys, im new here.
come over from the ke/ae scene, looking at something a little more cost effective.
anyways so ive been looking at buying an eg civic and vtecing it.
wanted to know roughly how much that would cost,
and whats involved.
cheers, probably looking an a b18 engine?

Rough rough estimate.

EG = $5000(price of a fuel injection immac eg)
B18= $3000(b18c2) - $5000/7000(b18c7/cr)


You need running gear and the engine. if the eg you buy is carby. you need to convert it to injection.

Not much work involved provided you bring it to some who knows there swaps/stuff. and your able to provide them all the stuff they need.

theres alot of engine/car possibility ... i would ask yourself some questions before u start

what kind of car do you want ... probably easy to answer because you like the EG - which will need to be a GLI, VTI or SI ... the GL and Breeze are carby which will need to be converted to EFI

than u have to decide on engine ...

D16 - 1.6 SOHC Vtec
B16 - 1.6 DOHC Vtec
B18c2 - 1.8 DOHC Dual Stage Vtec
B18c7 - 1.8 DOHC Type-R Vtec
H22 - 2.2 DOHC Vtec
K20a - 2.0 DOHC Type-R i-Vtec
K20z1 - 2.0 DOHC Type-S i-Vtec
K24 - 2.4 DOHC i-Vtec

each series has its ups and downs ... the best value for money are the B16a2 and the B18c2 ... they will cost around $3000 - $4000 installed and will be alot of fun =)

or u can mix it up ... B20/B16, k24/20a etc

im sure others can expand on it and correct me where i am wrong lol =)

if the eg you buy is manual i you wont need to swap over pedal boxes etc.

all u need is the integra running gear like; shift linkage, drive shafts, mounts, wiring loom, ecu, breaks etc
