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  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?

really? -.- The mechanic had changed without asking  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?

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

my car's condition shd be very well after this major engine transplanting. I'm a very careful driver *coughcough* and super clean  haha.. EK9 is roughly hw much? Indeed, I'm serious  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?

Oh well, seems like EK4 is more promissing 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  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

QUOTE(egiewan @ Dec 10 2006, 02:16 PM) Just get an EK4. Then the ori B16A you rojak lor. CRV block, CTR head, JUN cams and bla bla bla...so many combinations possible. Much cheaper than forking out for a B16B  AND more powerful too. B20B in a 2 door Civic...FUIYOHH   Seems like there are still many things I need to learn hahaha... Still new and no idea bout anything  QUOTE(Reon @ Dec 10 2006, 05:19 PM) And bring it out in our future TT!   Anyone wanna sponsor shipping fee from Kuching, Swk to West M'sia? hahahaha

Oh gosh!~ Really took me to read from page 16 to page 22! haha.. Eh, the videos for real eh? Simon's car? haha... COOL! So kek tiok!~ My SOHC Vtec-E engine wouldnt be able to do so  By the way, I really want to noe when do we noe that Vtec is enganged? I dunno!~ The most my EG8 SOHC engine would be able to go only up to 5k RPM!~ However, ysterday driving gave me a shock. Once the RPM meter hit 5kRPM, it jumps to 8kRPM  A newbie here!!~ Just wish I can try a B16A engine  7k for transplant?  hahaha... You guys poinsoned me!
