Default Vigor?

anyone ever try to make one fast? Or put that motor in anything else? I bet it could be a sick turbo motor.

Worst motor Honda ever made. There is a reason why they killed it and price ws not the main motivator.

Barely any parts for it. You'll have to test fit and custom make a lot of stuff.

I call them like I see them.

When I briefly worked @ a speed shop there was a guy that was deperately trying to find something for his vigor to make it go faster. ..... . He's still searching.

I can't remember the exact engine designation but I believe it was Honda's only attempt @ a 5 cylinder.

lol.

Integra, Legend, Civic, Prelude and Accord were in the advanced class.

Vigor was on the short bus for the challenged.

not sure on being the worst motor but defintaly one of the least amount of aftermarket or any type of support for it.

IMHO worst motor honda made: 2.7 v6 found in the 95-6 Accord V6 EXR and few other cars (namely the old legend)

Vigor came with G25A = 2.5l 5cyl motor. in JDM land they had the G20A (2L - 5cyl version as well)
