Engine Swap

[jut703]

I just noticed sir na sobrang bagal ng h15 non vtec ng city ko. May hatak naman. Kaso kahit laban sa ESI na Ph16 di nakaka habol kaya gusto ko iswap makina. ZC Vtec sir maganda ba ?

Bro, first of all, walang H15 na engine ang Honda. The City 1.5, even the non-VTEC version, used a D15 engine. It only had 103 hp vs 115 hp for the VTEC, but it wasn't slow.

Are you sure that your City's engine is in good condition? The City is lighter than an EG Civic so the 20 hp difference between a City 1.5 and Civic 1.6 can easily be bridged by a good driver.

What are you planning to do anyway, race on the streets? If yes, get the f out of here, we don't condone street racing. And even if you change engine to a D15 VTEC you're still no match for most street racers.

If you wanna take it to the track, the City still won't get you very far because its suspension setup is nowhere as flexible as the wishbones on a Civic (which is why there are a lot of Civic track cars and barely any Cities). Also, you have to be prepared to shell out a lot more money, which I don't think you're willing to since you're not open to considering even a B16.

If you just want decent performance in city/highway driving, I suggest you get your engine checked if it's working fine because a 103 hp engine on a sub-1000 kg car is more than enough for most people.

I think this is just a case of misplaced upgrade itch.
