Heh. GSR turbo if 300m sure makan asap. if 400m and up, depends on what turbo they're using. if they're making 380hp, you'd need at least 250-280hp on honda to match those. If stock GSR? kena makan asap by B16A lol

Kena cucuk tu dunno lah. I use quiet exhaust also people cucuk want to test power.

dunno, but for me paying 25K for EF is expensive.. but then again, I'm not an EF fanboy either.

Stock GSR turbo is about 160hp on wheels, but their block is cast iron heavy shit.
B16A with IHE mods about 160whp as well, even higher if bump up compression. My old b16A with 11CR kicked quite a few stock GSR's ass back in the day. Final dyno numbers about 180ish @ 9K rpm.

I did lose to a GSR RS though, but that car was like 190whp lol. Friend's car, ajak test after tuning at dyno. (actually me and my friend just advanced the timing from 10deg idle to 14deg idle. Straightaway jumped from 160+whp to 190whp. got slight knocking at low rpms, but none at high rpms, so maintained like that. Still running till now. wiring kena tukar tho. His car got broken in to at puchong, thieves cut wires for some of his meters and boost controller.

1st gear and 2nd, I inched ahead, then he hit max boost and left me 1 car near the 400m mark.

25K expensive, because I'm not EF fanboy. For me, I'd rather do the conversion myself since I like to open up the block and see how is the condition internally. If I were to do it again, I'd skip getting the halfcut and buy mil-spec harness and 'enjin lantai.' Bodykit? who needs bodykits? LULZ.

if standard b16b with b16b cams and standard type r intake n TB with hondata...then id take it. or standard B16A with B16B cams with type r intake n hondata oso id still consider....actually if the hondata stays....id take it with almost any engine...HAHAHAHHAHAA.....but try n get a B18C GSR with hondata oso can.

just as a benchmark... a friend of mine bought an original EF9...B16A with endyn forged pistons...B18CR intake, tb,  head and cams n valve train...YS1 with ATS 3,4,5... cusco clutch, tein HA... 16" enkei japan wheels...japan exhaust...and original factory fitted sunroof for 25k...this car was built by rochi.

my hatch is an EG... the one in my avatar

anyway...i clicked on the ad link again... came out as the car already sold?????????

if those are ur "target" cars...then why are u buying a car with lower power?

VTECs may be awesome...but theyre not the best engine the world..if B16A... expect to kena tapau by the GSRs
one thing about driving a honda....it means ur driving around with a bullseye on ur back

thereabouts... if can nego lower then better...
id rather get this

or this B18CR EF

or this B16B EF

or try n nego this one

and since ur budget is 24k...u could take a look at THIS EG Hatch n see if its any good...

pahang osoooooo....i suggest u make the trip... a car this old ur gonna have to do lotsa legwork to find a decent one...

i say go for it....if the car is in good condition then by all means....id say its ok...

finding one in good condition is hard enough....but to get the ogura, e-manage, linkage coilovers etc and especially the YS1....go for it

engine wise can be done later...but at least thats all u need to do... u already have the YS1 for a closer ratio...ogura..yum yum...e-manage will just need a retune if u upgrade...

with that kinda list in a good condition car...id say go for it
the only thing id do with the car is the J's racing spoiler and front lip...and i would also sell off that bumper and get one without any foglamp (might even make some money too)... i used to have that bumper and hated it coz the foglamps always misalign..and theyre actually pretty useles....not bright at all...even in the fogs of genting....unnecessary weight to the car.

at most id get the one with the round foglamps and use the foglamp holes for cold air intake hoses.

noisy is the name of the game for VTECs HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

skunk2 alpha i meant the header only... never bothered to find out about the rest of the system...hahhaha...

there was a dyno test done on HT.... the skunk2 was consistent throughout.. vs some other replica headers like toda n hytech...it didnt come up tops.. but still pretty consistent and decent numbers.

n i love my cutout.. done by the ex-owner...superbly functional... only problem is when ur travelling next to a wall on ur right with the cutout open...the sound really bounces back to u...lovely...but deafening at the same time..
