Sameer makes a good point. Buy a 1.3 and drop in the Thai Vtec engine. That's a direct fit and does 134 bhp. That would mean a early 16, or late 15 second timing.
Bottom line, buy a Honda. And please stop calling it VTECH. It's Vtec. |
Wow, tBHPites have really made things clear! Fusion is definately out & choices have narrowed down to 2 cars / 3 possibilities. Now with this clarity, I seek some more information that would lead to my purchase & my first mod car ownership!
Ah, ok.. you mean a Thai Vtec engine, not the default Indian one that came with the OHC? Now, this is getting clearer.
Is the Thai Vtec engine the one that was used with OHC Vtecs sold in Thailand as default engine? That means that almost everything else in the OHC could remain the same when the engine is transplanted and mods could mean freeflow (exhaust change), plugs, fuel management system.
What would the end result be then after this engine transplant & mods?
Now, finally the choices have narrowed down for me to 2 cars (3 options)!
1. OHC with default Vtec engine - Difficult to get though!
Subsequent mods: Exhaust, Plugs, Fuel Management System.
How much should these mods cost in all?
Expected 0-100 figures?
2.
OHC 1.3
Subsequent mods: Engine transplant with Thai Vtec (overhauled engine), Exhaust, Plugs, Fuel Management System.
How much should these mods cost in all?
Expected 0-100 figures? Can I get a 6 sec figure?
I'm not yet completely at ease mentally with an engine transplant. I dont want a car that needs regular repairs or visits to the service station (which carried the mods). I dont mind regular servicing at all, but I really would not want a car that breaks down occasionally - just stops working on the road and needs to be towed to the mechanic.
I would seriously consider a transplant only if it works as reliably as a car that did not undergo a transplant.
3.
Toyota Corolla H1
Subsequent mods: Exhaust, Plugs, Fuel Management System.
How much should these mods cost in all?
Expected 0-100 figures?
Thanks once again for the experienced comments & discussions. It has been very useful!
Regards & good wishes!
