I'm building my ls vtec turbo I really wanted to drop it in a ef Si hatch but couple of my friends are telling me don't mess with the ef because im going to need extra stuff like traction bars and Clearance is going to be issues. This is going to be more of a track car, and drive once in a blue moon in the street so I don't know which she'll to go with

 

your freind is a retard. jk
I would pick the lightest chassis.

If your seriosly going to track a turbo civic your going to want a 3" dp and traction bar regardless if you go with ef or eg.



I have a turbo ef & I drag & road race the car.
So far the only thing I don't like about the EF is that with the traction bar I'm not able to run a larger ATI or fluidampr race pulley without modification to my driver side traction arm. No biggy.

Ok anybody else? any input would be better than none

 

get which ever one is cheapest, lightest & least amount of rust.
you won't find your answer here pal.

 

To be honest I've Owned a turbo Ef and it was a awesome chassis. I now own a turbo ls vtec eg coupe and the engine space is Beyond awesome. The chassis is simple plug and at being its already obd1. It's easy To convert the Ef but from personal experience I love my eg. So much room to work and trouble shoot crap. I don't need a damn traction bar etc etc. I could go on on and on but u catch my drift. Again I loved my Ef but eg wins for me in my book.

 

Also no dropping gas tanks blah blah lol simple back seat removal an fuel pump bam!!

 

Thank you guys

 

The biggest difference is going to be the amount of space you will have in the engine bay with a B-series. Definitely more space in an EG bay, but nothing a little creativity and ingenuity won't solve with an EF.

 

I really would love a ef Si hatch they r rare

 

You do have clearance issues with most turbo manifolds in a b series ef... traction bars are a good upgrade for any car

 

Friends will get you in trouble!!! Do what you want since it is your money!!

 

I'm leaning to the ef

 

I love my ef si but miss the room of a dc or eg

 

EF

 

That's what I'm afraid of The clearance but I love the ef n also the eg coupe

 

Fitment in an EF can be tricky...I would go with an EG personally, but then again, i'm not a fan of the EF

 

I'm shooting for more than 400whp on c85
Block
81.5mm wiseco pistons
Manley h beam rods
Ls crank
Head
GSr with supertech everything
Type r intake cam n GSr exhaust cam
Turbo setup
Precision 6262
1000 injectors
Manifold im not sure bcuz don't know which car to go with

 

I love the coups i have one its fast, but if I were to build a tracker i would do the ef just pull out the BFH and go to town on the fire wall and your good best of luck to u.

 

Thanks for ur input^

 

Bump!!!!!!!

 

I'd either go with a InlinePro SS or a good, high quality mini-ram style manifold. Fitment wise, those would probably be your best bet.

 

I've been building a Z6 turbo in my 90 si, and with a sohc everything is tight but manageble with persuasion.
I suggest a full race traction bar, to make some free room.
not alot of room just so you know...

Hey coalmine ur setup looks nice. Have fun with it

 

I made my mind it's the EF for the win. New bushings every where solid mounts n traction bars and I'm good to go
