ive been searching around and seeing as you can buy a sohc vtec front-cut for like $500-$800, i'm thinking ill definitely go that route. yay team

Far out... been looking at exactly the same options this week for my EG4 but after all the reading I've done I've decided to stick with the carbies and see what can be done with them.

haha its tempting to just do a mini me, but after watching youtube videos and such i think it will be too slow.

if i convert to efi, are you able to just put in an electronic pump instead of the whole fuel tank? i dont see how tank itself could be much different. also what is involved with the under-dash wiring? i understand the ecu/engine wiring....

with the fuel pump just run a vl turbo external pump and use gravity feed from your tank. Just make sure you have more than half showing on your fuel guage. or say bye bye to fuel pump. Thats what my brother did

haha that would annoy the shit out of me filling up every 200km or so.....surely there must be a better way....

**trism** · 08-10-2008 03:42 PM

im gonna use the d15 manifold and carbies and bolt them up to the d16 vtec

possibly even find some webber or similar carbs to use

the Ronals are setting me back about 1.3k

would that work if i went efi>carby would the carbs nd manifold straight bolt onto the d16 engine????
