hey guys recently bought a ek with the intentions to do it up motor and all...got it really cheap and it is a genuine gli to my knowledge being power options and rev gauge on cluster but its got rear drum brake? its a 96 model..has the guy possibly just done the window conversion and gli cluster...your thoughts? kinda tripped out when i saw it l0l

update: d16y8 is from ? normal vti motor? coz i could of swore once i serviced it and put my intake on it and noticed a vtec solinoid im sure its vtec sohc...coz 5500 was def a lil roar and faster revs

gli also has swaybar mounting holes on the front lcas and the interior seat trims are different. gli may also have mirrors on the sun visors inside the car.

i just want to verify if its a genuine gli or cxi man...also has sohc vtec engine but doesnt say vtec on the rocker cover as per normal eg vti engines

as far as im aware, only the older d16's had it on the rocker, eg5 had it on, cant remember which other though, i think crx an one more, mine doest say it (d16y8), wished it did though

Are u sure its a y1? because if it is, than its a older motor than y4 from ek1's, y1 is from eg5 vti

If it is a y1, than someone has done a engine swap, or maybe a mini-me swap, with the vtec head

check the engine stamp to confirm it
