[QUOTE="B18C-R, post: 910126, member: 78534"] Enthuiast, Here are my comments ... >which is the better choice in terms of speed and also economically ? Speed: Comparing a stock to stock condition, a EG with B16A (1.6 DOHC Vtec) is definately faster then a Satria with 1.6 Mivec. Remember, I mentioned stock condition ! There is no point discussing about mods coz is very subjective and goes 'endless'. In anycase, although on 'paper', mivec states 175ps vs vtec 170ps (both DOHC 1.6L) on engine power, the reality is always vtec. I believe the power loss in mivec lies in the drivetrain and transmission loss. Economical: It depends on what is your defination of economical...fuel consumption ? or parts ? MIVEC parts is quite difficult to source if it is aftermarket. As for stock replacement, is not that hard. However, the fact is vtec B16A parts is really like pasar malam. very easy to get ! In terms of pricing, I'm sure you already have an idea how much a satria cost and what that means when you start adding in the mivec conversion into it. hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
