Si versus VTi ?

[EG5]

IMO.. the Si has better LOW torque but dies in the ass after 5,500 RPM


* I can rev my EG civic SI till 8000 rpm *
i bet no one belive me but thats the fact.

I'd believe you, simple because I got owned on another forum by a guy claiming that his Euro Civic (ZC powered) would do 200km/h+ in FOURTH gear. He posted footage of it doing it @ 8000RPM+ with the rev limiter removed and a re-chipped ECU. Similar spec DOHC to the Si so yeah, you have a believer here.

thanks dude , i got my EG civic from Dean ( ART melbourne) , the ecu is rechipped and i got unichip as well. So thats why i can do 8000rpm on a ZC.

hahh you east-coast Si guys are the same as west-coast Si guys thinking cause they got DOHC they got the best engine in the world.

Methinks there is a case of location envy here :P

Settle petal, no-one has been making fun of you...yet

[Weq]

Id just like to add something else if u will let me...

*jumps onto soapbox*

Vti's are ok.

But thats why the yanks turbo these...coz theres' no way in hell of gettin any more power outta a SOHC engine LOL J/K !!!

*falls off soap box , then runs away from Bumble Bee ! *


Vti's are ok - but i love my Si. *sniff*

Would never sting a fellow Civic owner :P

Weq: Aren't most Honda engines highly tuned in stock form? Even the Si engine?

True, but the DOHC head has the advanatge of 2 cams so i assume more flow potential. But personally i wouldnt bother with 'performace' motor mods on an N/A car, no bang for buck imo.

Amen to that....no matter how fooley sick we think our dinky lil buzzboxes are...we still cant achieve much without performance cams...timing...fuel mapping ETC.

Even the king ITR engines cant produce decent numbers above norm without serious money thrown around.

An exhaust and air filter is all we can really do

Not all vtec engines are tuned for performance (or highly tuned in that regards). I haven't driven a vti but as an ex Si owner i would say Si due to dohc. The potentials are there. It's basically a CRX with a civic body.

[Caster®]

yes the D16Y8 only has VTEC on the intake cam, that dont mean it's not a performer. the Malaysian D15Y SOHC VTEC is their top of the line performance engine.

I dont see the relevance in the D15Y being the top model in Msia? The Si was the top model here before the VTi... so what?

[DooshDoosh]

Just wondering fellas.. Did any other EG civic come out with a sunroof other than the VTI?

Not standard no.

on paper they have the same power -VTi actually has more torque..

you can rev it to 8,000RPM ? well done !! I can rev mine to 8,200RPM.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE I have beaten every ZC engine I have raced except for ONE supercharged version. They pull on me untill I hit VTEC then I say bye bye... so you can say what you want.. if you can read you will soee that I said FROM MY EXPERIENCE.

the ZX is nothing special - it's just DOHC head on D-series block pffttt.

I'm not saying the D16Y is the best honda engine - i'll be the first to tell you that the B16A is better.. but not that much better.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE ALSO - I have beaten every LS integra I've raced also.. B18B... explain that ZC morons !!

FLAME AWAY BOYS AND GIRLS !!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
u have beaten every LS integra u raced and every Zc engine powered car .... hmm not bad at all

for those who know my EG civic si ,
my Si 1.6 twin cam can chop a moded h22a type S conversion in 1988 lude , also ek4 civic vtir , JDM ef8 CRX SIR(b16a ) some moded Dc2 type R , 4agze supercharged corrola etc

Im not saying si or vti is better , but once its moded .... they both can be a beast .

also the way u drive ur car , counts too

no offence here dude...

Doesn't Malaysia Civics have drum brake at the rear even on Vti models

[Weq]

American civics of the EG era had rear drums also.
