I didnt read anything in the original post about the 93 VEi model (now i do, opened my eyes)........lol they are rare and a dying bread but still around some places........

Anyway, to my question..........

Is it feasible to do an engine upgrade on a VEi? Or is it much better to sell and purchase a model more fit for a bigger engine?

It don't matter what EG series it is...

Just that a few things to consider like converting to EFi, what motor you want to drop in. Something to note though later on if you do choose to sell, Sedan's with B/K series don't go for much at all compared to the Hatch.

Does anyone have a picture of an EG with a Carby Engine and EFI Engine? Engine Bay. I'm looking around so obviously doing a swap I want to make sure I'm getting EFI.

Thanks

if it has a inlet manifold ( long silver metal thing at the back of the engine) the its EFI.
If it has ALOT of rubber hoses all over teh top and rear of the engine , then its carbied.

Thanks!! Well, in that case my car is EFI 1.5L EG4. According to the plate near the Radiator.

The reason I asked is because in the first post it says EFI is only EG5 or EG8.

EG4 is a GLi as well and also a GL for the carby version
