personally, I wouldn't worry about the sound of the VTEC crossover when choosing a car. there are much more important things that come before that. the ek has a better chassis. the teg has more low end torque. they are both great cars so it just comes down to personal preference.
and def do not bother with a manifold change or bigger tb. that is a huge waste of money unless you are looking for big power gains. an air filter change will improve the crossover sound.

thanks for the info

i know if i buy a teg im gonna spend money on it which i wont get back building the crossover and if i buy a civic its got a massive crossover but lacks in power and torque and i just jizz myself over a deep roawing crossover i was thinking about if i do want to spend money i would buy a civic ek i would drop a dc2r gearbox in it with the dc2r headers and exhaust and a good intake with b16b ecu thank probs the best bang for buck other than going crazy in internals that over time will be big bucks and problems.

whichever car you see that is cleaner would be my advice.. at the end of the day its not that the teg makes that much more power... but the fact that the civic gives it all higher in the rev range while the teg has better all round power band.

as far as i know, the gbox in the b16a2 is great as long as it has lsd. you'll get better power out of well tuned 4-2-1 aftermarket headers made for the b16 and won't have the hassle of different length (ITR headers taller). as for ecu, why not go hondata or haltech?
honda made their engines so that each component would work in harmony with the rest, that's why the B series makes such great power for its size. it's hard to improve on their engineering.

Or get a CRX. 2 seater. Targa top (take roof off). B16a engine. Wicked crossover.

Harder to see on the streets. Opposed the the common eks or tegs. Just me 2c.

Plus I'm biased because I own one. But they are awesome lil cars. Especially on your P's.

dc2 vtir isnt in same price range as ek vtir man

building the crossover.

building the crossover.

Personally, I'd save up and go for a dc2r. But then again, its hard to find a good one at a good price.

But if you really have to choose from the two, Id prob go for ek4. I've driven my mates ek4, and it is a really fun car to drive. Whale penis intake makes the crossover jizz worthy. Plus, aesthetics wise, I think ek looks much better. Again these are just all personal opinions.

they're not? clean ek4s getting sold for like 9k cos harder to find, dc2 in similar condition/kms round there too maybe a tiny bit higher.

imo get whatever you think looks better, theyre both great cars
