Only the Honda Fanboys will say otherwise, and that's obviously who this thread is appealing to being in a forum like this.

You really think so, i find the ae111 to be quite ugly, and with rear end that looks like an unappealing s15
As for quicker, yeah maybe, better engine? how?

Rare and unique yes, but i've been in a 20v ke70, and it wasnt that quick.....

Levins are slow man, looks good tho.

I'd say your EK would chop it

.

Good luck on info,

There's just something about having more power, more valves, and more throttle bodys. Seems to make an engine better in my eyes.

Personal experience vs actual data. *shrug*

I've driven both cars and much prefer the ae111, love the shifter, styling, handling and it goes pretty hard

**eg5civic** · 19-09-2010 10:54 PM

so you've driven an ek9?

a b16b pulls way harder than a b16a, trust me on that.

ITB's and more power just mean it was more performance oriented from factory.....

As for my personal experience, he has weird gearing (so he says) and its running rough (so he says) but to compare, my stock tune is nothing great and he still has some sort of tune.

End of the day, its personal preference, but i think vtec pulls way harder and is alot more efficient than vvt at making power

wow im suprised with how many people would prefer the ae111 ! cant wait to test drive my mates one !

plus vtec sounds sexy..

**eg5civic** · 19-09-2010 11:01 PM

as for more power... they are rated at 170hp and the b16b at 185hp are they not?

Put quads on the b16b and a better tune and where will the ae111 be?

Call me a vtec fanboy, but i remember the first time i saw an ITR hit vtec and fly [ast it made me say i want VTEC.
VVT does have a good sound, but nowhere near the same crossover sound.

so you dont think ek9's are overpriced?

I was driving home on Friday and came past one of these - i thought it was an S15 that was washed with hot water LOL.. but it had a nice set of Work rims, dumped on it's a55 and had a nice under-axle f@rt cannon.. Looked quite good I thought but dont really know anything about them untill I read this thread this morning

nobody has REAL specs on them ??

My friend had an AE86 with the 20V in it and man that thing would definately give any DOHC VTEC a run for it's money in terms of SOUND but it only seemed to be as quick as my D16Y1.. ?? and i'd say an AE86 would be lighter ? but then that's RWD...
