    K23 bro. .going to be a monster build definitely not cheap.. yes was thinking of rbc manifold ..exhaust manifold.. and k ecu..going get these bits slowly do it 1 time.. just got issues with track rods they are seized. ..steering is all over the place. ..so on the hunt for rack raiser..new inner and outer track rod ends!!

     

    Not costing me a huge amount, am going for quick budget build for a bit of fun.

    Cost wise - Engine = £575 (will get couple of hundred quid back for the gearbox) - Head and K20 bits (using from original engine in the car - bottom end gone).

    Head gasket £65 - K24 Supertech 12.5.1 cast pistons £300 - Clutch XTD stage 4 Â£100 - RC 550 injectors £200 - CRV mount £30 - RBC £300 inc thermal gaskets and adapter - Gearbox using k20 from original car - Mapping K100 supplied plus mapped £720 or kpro £955 - Exhaust manifold ?? £200 - Engine building and fitting £4-500.

    Whats a VTiS worth these days?

    I don't think with a civic mb, anyone wants a stock one or is willing to pay more for a standard example hence they all sell for similar money both modded and stock.

    Right about now, the prices are floating around £1500 mark and being sold very quickly..

     

    I would not sell mine for anywhere near that though!

    Cool project, are you planning anything for it other than the necessary to bolt the head on and get it running?

     

    Don't suppose you know what to expect powerwise with it just put together and running?

     

    Well originally I was planning a cheap build just slapping on a k20 head and related bits with RBC and exhaust manifold plus a remap etc, which would see around 230 ish bhp but a lot of torque around 180-190 ft lbs but low down grunt and starts to drop off after 7k. They don't like high revs either..

    But may throw in some pistons and couple of other goodies

    Doing a budget build K24-K20 Frankenstein into an EP3 ...

    Will be a bit of a slow build as currently got my mb6 vtis which needs some time with it and my leon cupra r 1m which just swallowed up almost £1k on parts, service and soon remap.

     

    So far I have bought my K24 engine (came with gearbox and ECU, which i'l try to sell off to recoup some money back).

     

    In negotiations for a 2003 Honda civic type r 30th anniversary (comes with full red recaros, rear tints etc, only 100 made in each color - silver, black, red) fitted with facelift front bumper/grille and rear lights. All going well, il have the car delivered to me around the first week of Feb.

    MeisterR vs. BC Racing

    Another benefit with Meister R is that jerrick sells replacements shocks/refurbs them for like £80 each..

    I know the roads around here are bad that I may suffer a blown shock some time!

     

    my car came with them fitted and its fairly low, had never had a problem on speed humps etc, still comfortable. no neck breaking when you drive through the occasional hidden ditch.

    Bumping this thread :)

     

    I'm trying to figure out a value for my VTI-S and looking some opinions on what I might offer it at.  

     

    1999

    73,536 miles

    Full year MOT 

    Service history with most recent stamp in November 2014.

    Standard, apart from a 2.5" system (I just removed the DC2 airbag to sell separately).

    Bodywork in decent condition with just some small surface bubbling on the arches and a bit of rust on the drivers sill.

    Undersealed

    Four Uniroyal Rainsport 3s with lots of tread still left

    In the last 4,000 miles its had new shocks, brake discs, pads, thermostat, fuel tank, timing belt and water pump.

     

    I've seen leggy ones at around £1,500 these days but not sure if they're sitting around for long.

     

    Thanks

     

    Rust and bodywork is the main thing, most buyers prefer a clean body over miles.

    You'l need to get pics of the arches and sills to give a good estimate.

     

    Typically, they are going for around the £1500 ish mark in average condition.

     

    My last one was sold for £1000 on facebook after replying to a wanted ad for a VTiS and the lad ripped my arm off at that price.

    I did want more but I had already purchased another VTiS. 

    The engine/box etc was in superb condition having had thousands spent on the mechanicals.

    The body had no real rust but the paintwork was dull and needed a good machine polish. Mileage was only around 90K if I remember rightly.

     

    I paid more for my current MB6 VTiS with a lot more miles but it was slightly cleaner bodywise and had a few nice mods.

     

    All depends on the buyer, people are prepared to pay around £1500 and not much more it seems.. An enthusiast however may possibly pay a shade more..
