I have a 1.5 vtec-e in my 5door hatchback as i searched for a small vtec 1.6 or 1.5 for a while before finding a decent car but i learned the LS models dont produce as much power as the vtec models as engines are diffrent my engine is a d15z8 engine i did have a similar car in silver with 1.4 d14z2 engine which came out another civic and for some strange reason the 1.4 was quicker than my 1.5 vtec even though the vtec has 24bhp more but as kink43 said the 1.5 vtec-e has big gear ratios and takes longer to get too get up the revs but is really good on fuel 16 quid got me 116 miles and that was mainly town driving on the motorway they can get about 50mpg no problem making long distance crusing for these cars very effecint.

Welcome mate! Nice plans for the car Funny sense of humour also, was chuckling at your posts!

Eco mode is for the vtec e model yeah. Don't know a lot about them never had one. But I believe the vtec works differently effectively making it 12valve at low rpm. Combined with a variable length intake. Known as 3 stage vtec or something. Combined with long a*s gear ratios there good for upwards of 50mpg. So the vtec is purely focused on minimising fuel consumption rather than making power like a traditional vtec engine.

Sounds like should be cool when done for sure. Gonna be nippy as ya like!

Should be good fun then once it's fitted and mapped!

Haha another one for silica gel. My mate thinks I'm nuts. I've put silica gel inside each door. Inside the rear quarters and arches and inside the interior aswell.

All tucked away for winter now, hopefully during winter I can get the rear 300zx logo illuminated since I won't be driving it.
