94 VTI EG question

[skunk]

Hey all, im pretty new to the civic scene & have a question regarding a car im looking at.
basically looking to buy an EG, seen one that is a vti 94 eg. from my understanding the differnce between vti n vtir is vti is SOCH n vtir is DOCH yes?

now iv got a gli EG but its pretty underpowerd lol...main question is will the vti eg be more powerful then then gli EG ? (eventho only SOHC) or are they basically the same engine ?

thanks for the help guys.

D16Y1 will go harder, but if your going to the trouble of a conversion, do a B16A or B18C conversion. So much more well worth it.

There is no EG VTI-R, VTI has the D16Y1 as stated above, even the EG6 is still a VTI with a B16A. VTI-R is on the EK model series, which also runs a B16A.

With that being said, D16 is still gutless, go B series or go home.

thanks heaps for the info guys ! yeah a B16A conversion may be on the cards if i do end up purchasing this EG. alot depends on its current state. just wondering tho what would a conversion set me back ? wouldnt include getting it engineered etc yeh ? ie registered with vic roads bla bla

[stndrd]

A B series conversion can set you back anywhere up to $8000 (depending on what "extras" you choose to do such as clutch, exhaust etc & what engine you start with). You then need to account for brake upgrades (if the car is drum rear) as it will not pass engineering without 4 wheel disc.

I advise the majority of my customers that it is better off to save that extra few thousand and just do a K swap, as yes the initial outlay is a bit higher, but the killerwasp/dollar ratio is alot better, along with the fact that the engines and gearboxs are alot healthier than most B series out there.

If you want advice on which way to go in regards to engine conversions & VicRoads, drop me a PM or give me a call

if your gonna do an engine swap why not do it to the GLI you already have?

GLI is lighter than VTi less things like sunroof, but VTi gets u cup holders.

[dougie_504]

Buy an EK4 if you don't love your current car or go B18C if you do IMO.

do it once do it right! k?
kswap

Hey all, thanks for the replies. im please to say that iv just bought a 94 EG vti. pretty excited haha. loving the sunroof n twin cup holders !!! none of which the gl have hahah.
anyways, im in the process of looking at minor mods to help it be bit more responsive i guess.. not looking to turbo it or anything at this point in time.
ill do a search to see what info i can find interms of mods for it.. but so far im gathering CAI & exhaust ? feel free to give me pointers (new to this all)

cheers guys

Ah the joys of modding a different engine, that looking back and saying "FFS what a waste of money if i spent a bit more i could of B swapped it or turbo'd it"

i found the EG cup holders are sh!t cant fit large maccas drink in without it hitting the dash.

other than that the EG was live-able.
