EG8 swap in 1.7cc i-vtech?

[ahbong81]

Hi hodarian,
i believe EG8 can swap in 1.7 i-vtech (dono the engine code). so:
1) anyone has done it?
2) wat's the price breakdown?
3) how much power does it has compare to D15b and B16A.
i need expertise in answering me. thanks

Better check our with our frenly JPJ 1st for issues on legality, if u plan on making it a daily driven car. From what I know is that a considerable amount of $$ must go to the mountings ....

aiyaa .. why must plonk in new engine into an old car .. just buy the 1.7 civic laa .. later on will give u headache pun tak guna

 

[crower75]

...........but 1st of all get the spelling correct.......it's i-vtec not i-vtech

guys...the 1.7 vtec you guys are talking about is from the ES model right?if its so as what i remembered my 1.7 ES is only vtec and not i-vtec.

emm... sorry for my noobies in Honda. It's i-vtec of course. i saw the engine is on sale at Motor Trader. i assume that it is allowed to swap to any Honda car. I only know that JPJ will not approve if; 1) the engine and the car does not has the same brand. 2) if the engine that u gonna swap exceed 300cc compare to your current one. the rest i doono. By the way.. i thought ES should have i-vtec right? how's the fc? anyone?

1) the engine and the car does not has the same brand.

normal local ES 1.7 is sohc vtec(D17A) comes with 130hp. with the auto transmission in, u'll get about 90++hp on wheel. my fren ek3 (1.3) also sucessfully approved by jpj when he put in b18c type r (1.8)

bukan EK3 1500 cc ke?

 

[shiroitenshi]

not i-vtech.. but maybe c-vtech - crippled VTEC.. hahha..

1.7 ES engine? Might as well plonk in a stock B20B block..

My guess is this plan will go down the drain the moment you know of the workmanship fees to do it properly.

bro, only the K-series are using i-vtec.maybe it was a printing error when the seller post it in motortraders. You're right about the ES having i-vtec but only the 2.0L model.trust me the 1.7L is rubbish cos i owned it before and now traded in for the 2.0L model.
EG8?if on a tight budject just plonk in a B16A and you'll hav better power,better FC and the most important is more fun with it!
