Which civic eg should i gett ???? NEW UPDATE!!!

[uneek1]

Hey yall,

im planing on getting a civic eg n perhaps later on when i have abit more cash il do a engine conversion (maybe a B18C2VTI-R or B18C7TYPE-R).

so im wondering which is the best for this?
eg si or eg vti?? and why??


NEW UPDATE:
hey guys!

i ended up getting a civic gli eg5 hatch!
soo here begins my civic project ! im excited
hopefully i can save enough money n get a type-r conversion by end of yr ..

but as for now, do u think i can do afew lil mods here n der perhaps on my gli ?? like intake? or exhaust that might give me abit more power from its stock form??

cheers

the VTI has a SOHC VTEC engine and the SI has DOHC non vtec engine ... other than that the VTI comes stock with a sunroof and the others dont ... take your pick

the gli is ok for engine conversion as well ... but you will have to upgrade the brakes and add the VTI rear swaybar ... not that hard really

[geeang]

Whatever EG you get, make sure it's EFI/fuel-injected, it would save alot of hassles when it comes time to do a conversion.

With a non-fuel injected EG, you'd have to convert it to fuel-injected when you chuck in a B-series, which involves sourcing different fuel tank/pump/lines etc.

so something like an eg breeze is out of the question?

VTi

Because it's VTEC and EFI so you'll have a little less wiring and stuff to do later on. Plus you get the nice things like sunroof and, if you're lucky, A/C and airbag. 4 wheel disc brakes too

An EG breeze wouldn't be out of the question, but would require a bunch more work and expenses to get it ready for a conversion.
If you do the right research and are able to source everything quickly and cheaply, a breeze would be fine, but in the end a VTI would provide less headaches for a conversion.

up to you

vti- sunroof, rear disk brakes, cup holders... probably the quickest that will convert to the b-series, but the vti's are pretty expensive in the market. but then u have a good motor to drive around until u get the converion

si- slighly ligher chassis then the vti, rear disks.. probably same to convert the vti, but u gotta sort the vtec thing out, similar price to vti, similar power output like the vti, just a milli second faster as the chassis is lighter, also a good motor to be driving around until the motor conversion

gli- cheapest base to get, but requires the most work to get to the bseries, as you will probably want to upgrade the rear drums to disk.

[TheSaint]

rear drums to disc isnt really that hard to be honest

its the breeze that will give u headaches ... any of the other models will be fine ... but a VTI would be the best

[zco]

if u want to save money, get abreeze. but this is what you need to do to get it ready for conversion

fuel tank which will come wiht fuel pump aswell, fuel lines, interior wiring harness asweell (meaning you'd have to ripp off your entire dashboard and swap the harness over.

if you want a sunroof, get a vti, if you dont, get a Si or a GLi. same brakes, power options and yeh.

personally id go vti for the sunroof, cup holders, rear disc brakes.
but if ur gonna be stripping it anyway, id go gli and put a rear disc conversion (thats what i have)

[Stig]

whats with the eg GL?

[503asy]

not fuel injected. it's as bad a breeze in terms of conversions
