Apparently my EG8 went through a major problem for the past few weeks. The engine was overheating each time I drove. Even after times of repairing and adjusting it.

Now that the mechanic had no choice but to change the engine from SOHC Vtec to SOHC Vtec-E.

Could anyone explain the difference btw this two? Oh gosh, I just wish it's DOHC sad.gif

It gives me slightly more power. I'm not sure, based on the review it's for economical purpose.

How much is the changing of DOHC engines? There are many types right? B16A?
and higher?
*
nop. less power.
SOHC VTEC 1.5L (D15B)
-130bhp
-VTEC switchover at 4800rpm

SOHC VTEC-E 1.5L (D15Z)
-92bhp
-VTEC switchover at 2500rpm

of course less power less fuel consumption. your best choice is B16A. its around RM11k including transmission and ecu.

RM11k? Are you sure? That price I can get a bloody type R man. Haha...Unless you talking about engine and labour + spare parts. Even that, it also won't hit 10k man.

sorry man.. RM11k is the Sarawak's price including labor cost. tongue.gif eg9 (B16A) engine has high demand in Sarawak... if your are talking about the engine only cost around RM7k-RM8k.

really? -.-

The mechanic had changed without asking sad.gif sob!~ But apparently, I feel it has more power than my previous SOHC Vtec, maybe I was wrong. 3 weeks didn't drive my EG8. 11k? New?

Arghh... I'm thinking of selling it rather that working on it continuosly. How much would it cost?
*
u dont feel power with your previous engine because your engine maybe already 'rosak'.
RM11k is the cost for half-cut engine. there is no such new engine for 92-95 honda car.

you want 2 sell your car or engine?

So far my previous engine gave me more power than my waja does... I dunno. maybe it's becz of the gear.. I'm driving auto.

Anyway, how much would I be able to sell my EG8? Just normal, no modification except for ICE. Changing to B16A for 11k, I would rather sell it and buy EK9 or EG9 instead
*
are u serious to buy ek9? hard to find lor n maybe bloody hell expensive...ek9 is 98 specs civic type-R. why? lighter, racing suspension, more responsive steering... better u buy ek4... or change ur engine to B16B...
ek4's engine is the same as eg9's engine... same horsepower same engine type but different body frame.
hmm.. if u want to sell your car.. u can get around RM18k-20k depends on your car's condition...

my car's condition shd be very well after this major engine transplanting. I'm a very careful driver *coughcough* and super clean biggrin.gif haha..

EK9 is roughly hw much? Indeed, I'm serious biggrin.gif Not sure though... If I might go for EK, why not opting for better performance? Rather than spending the money to modify on the later days...

Can state more difference btw EK9 and EK4?
*
i dunno about that price of honda car. no new one. u got to find second hand one. u ask autoshop lor..

ek9
- more lighter than ek4
- 2 doors (civic type) no 4 doors type
- uses B16B engine (DOHC VTEC-R 1.6L) which produce 185bhp
- uses manual transmission
- no radio, full bucket seats, accessories... mainly for racing..

ek4
- 4 doors (civic ferio type), 2 doors (civic types)
- uses B16A engine (DOHC VTEC 1.6L) which produce 170bhp
- uses manual or AT transmission

Dude, I repeat the halfcut DOES NOT COST 11k lah. apis stop being misleading lah. Your 11k is sarawak price but KL here not so expensive.  doh.gif

kvys2000, halfcut + the labour + spare parts is LESS THAN 10k. At some places you can get the halfcut for 5.5k only, you just need to survey around. labour + parts is estimated around 3k. SO it's not even reaching 10k.  smile.gif

sorry dude...i'm not misleading anyone... just want to tell price that i know... anyway appreciate ur concious...

Oh well, seems like EK4 is more promissing smile.gif

Basically there is not much difference other than the number of doors and weight rite? 185/170bhp, it's fine with me compare to my SOHC engine now sad.gif

5.5k? For a B16B?

Any others? B16C? B16D? B20B?

Kinda new to this. Okay, if I'm going for another engine transplant... if I want a better performance what else should I change? Air filter?

Lately, I've heard a lot of those 'aeroplane' sounds or whatever you call it comes out from car when start engine. It's like a high pitch air sound. What's that? Purpose? I heard it's air compresser or something
*
change exhaust and cold air intake... cheap way to boost your car power, add about 2-5bhp.
