    Just thought I would also throw this out there for everyone asking why not do a B swap. Comparing B16A equipped VTiR coupe and a ED civic hatch with D16Y1. The power to weight ratios of both vehicles are almost identical. All data taken from honda.com.au

    VTiR Coupe B16A. 118kw@7600rpm, 150nm@7000. Vehicle weight: 1114kg. Power to weight of 0.1059kw / kg

    ED Civic Hatch with D16Y1. 96kw@6600, 145nm@5200. Vehicle weight: 900kg. Power to weight of 0.1067kw / kg

    So the ED actually has a better power to weight ratio than the VtiR, if only just. Also given the D16 makes peak power and torque at 1000rpm and 1800rpm lower it might not be as slow as people would first think. I know this is all theoretical and its more than just power that makes a car fast but just something to think about.
