Teg GSI V Teg VTIR

[marcus]

juz get a type R

[blubber]

^^ haha yeah you are cool

talk about bringing back an old thread, i ended up getting a GSi 2 1/2 years ago, now drive a DC5R for the past 18 months...

i did challenge a vtir once in my gsi and i kept half a bonnet ahead until it ended in 3rd, it was a good lil beast!

[A-man]

is it fair to say that a gsi or even a b18a head will flow better because of the lack of vtec... in the head??

id like to see flow charts of them...

the other question u mite wana ask is what u want the teg for aswell

(sry i know this is an old thread but i just saw it and wanted to revisit it)

I've heard things like that and people saying turbo applications on the non-vtec motor responds better. Not sure if its true though..

[A-man]

so it mite have truth in it....


therefore maybe save ur money on a gsi and spend it on a turbo :P

they fit better then a da9 lol

only when you are running large numbers i believe!

a b18a/b head flows no where near as good as a vtec head! one of the main problems with the head is that it flows pretty poorly, so yes getting a port and polish on your head would work well if you were going all out all motor LS or boosting and aiming for high numbers as you can pick up a bit by cleaning up the head.

The VTEC mechanisms doesn't intrude the intake chamber in any way so the answer is no.

not true, stock for stock the VTEC head will flow more air, hence make more power

Comparing Pre98 Spec:

VTi-R vs. GSi
- No airbags
- No ABS
- Smaller Rear and front swaybars (Front GSi: 22mm VTi-R: 24mm, Rear: GSi: 14mm VTi-R: 16mm)
- B18C vs B18B 18kw + 2nm Torque
- Better low end torque in VTi-R
- Different interior, Black colour standard compared to Grey in GSi
- Body Coloured Side Mouldings
- Shorter 3rd, 4th and 5th gear ratios in the VTi-R

98+ Spec:
VTi-R Dual Airbags GSi: Single
Both have ABS and Body Coloured Door Mouldings

I would say VTi-R for Resale value, Engine and Aesthetics.

The problem with a GSi is due to the nature of the engine......the only way to gain decent power is to use forced induction. I/H/E on a GSi will make no were near the amount of differance it would on the B18C (VTi-R). Even if you were boosting you would get better results with the B18C anyway.......The only good thing about a GSi is if you want to do a "LS/VTEC" conversion due to the engine capacity and crankshaft you get a lil' more torque....

LOL... VTEC isn't a tangible item, it won't affect the flow hehe.

VTEC is blocking the head...
