I have a nice EG5 with the D16Z6 ( think it's called SI in the US)
I have just got a nice offer on a EG6... It's the European "VTI", a standard EG with a B16A2..

So now I am wondering should I buy the "VTI" or just keep the singlecam screamer??? (and change the cams, pistons, intakemani, etc. and make it a B16-killer))

The feeling of driving the "VTI" is not as intense as the EG5.. the EG5 just feels more agressive. But that is just until you take a look at the 1/4 mile numbers... then the B16 rules.....

I am a bit confused over this choice I have to make, so please help...

What about doing a swap? If you like the feel of the eg5 better, stick with it and work on it. If you're getting a really good deal on the other then that makes a difference. I don't know how readily available swaps are in Denmark but if you can find a B16 or B18 to throw in your car, you can have the best of both. What do you mean that the EG5 feels more aggressive? Handling, acceleration, braking, what? Finally, working on the z6 is a viable option also. There's a lot of people taking that route now and making some very respectable power. There's a thread on here somewhere that goes over the best upgrades if you haven't checked it out yet. Sorry to not be more help but give us some details. How much? Swaps available? Intense/aggressive? and finally what is parts availability like over there?

 

The agressivity.. well I think it's the gearing.. it feels faster when you give it full throttle...
Then the swap thing is NOT an oppertunity in Denmark, because of the shitty laws, it's only legal to swap a motor in with no more than 20% more HP, than the original one.. so the only swap I can do is the B16A1.. but I was told that it would be the most expensive swap ever.. because of the wiring and something about the gearbox is different... It would give anybody a headache..

The "VTI" is very rare in Denmark, I belive that there is only sold 10-15.

Well what if I ask you guys about the B16 swap... Is it worth the money.. or would it be better to stick with the Z6, and make that one fast????
The swap would almost be the samt as the EG6 exept for the seats. and ABS and some other minor details.....

 

Get the EG6 B-series all the way

 

sell the eg5 and move up to the 6.
