using vtec is good if u r ready for track...not for daily use...eldiablo said:I have a Mini that's been sitting in the fuc#ing workshop (Ah Soon Bdr Sri Damansara) for close to 2 years (!!) putting in a B16A VTEC Engine.
You need to change the subframe - which I know that Ah Soon can do (its just his finishing that is damn bloody lousy! Bugger was all hype and hot air at the beginning - said could be ready to run in 3 months. Its been 2 fuc#ing years!
My suggestion is go for the VTEC Engine - buy the subframe kit from UK (about RM5K), get a halfcut engine + gearbox (about RM5K), workmanship another RM5K.
It'll have a 320hp/ton weight ratio and give you 0-100 in 5 secs!
Just get a good mechanic to do it. Not like me :cry_smile:
LOLZ....which workshop tel u tat need rm10k for 1.3i engine + transplant?eldiablo said:True that the 1.3 efi is good enough. But buy a recond half cut would be RM5K, workmanship another RM5K. Also you have to be careful as the Rover EFIs have a tendency to be tempremental (more so than their carburreted cousins - ask any Mini mechanic).
So for about the same price range (pay a little bit more) you get more power. And also gives you a lot of room for further upgrades & power (not that you would need it anymore).
The VTEC is ALSO a daily driver, parts are available (if not cheaper than rover parts) and is relatively easy to maintain. Fer cryin out loud, its a Japanese engine! How many Civic owners do you know complain about the difficulty of maintaining their B16s?!
Go for glory my friend. It is within reach!
