Fierydog2002 Neutral Newbie August 14, 2010 Share August 14, 2010 lsi is carburetor model. esi is fuel injection model. however unsure whether lsi got vtec or not. if i remember clearly it should be no vtec. lsi rear brake is drum and only 1.5l wheras esi is rear disc and 1.6l. esi in fc will be much better thus it fuel injection. carburetor car are known to be thirsty.

Soon__ Neutral Newbie August 15, 2010 Share August 15, 2010 LSi, 1.5 SOHC with approx 93 horse power. Still good for Singapore road use at 90km/hr. ESI does not have VTEC iirc, only VTI has VTEC for '92~'95 EG models. Instead of worrying performance, worry about its reliablity instead, since they are going 20 years old.

Isit that Esi faster than Lsi alot more when come to speed? Lsi will never win Esi when come to speed whatever Lsi do any molification? Lsi is 1.5litre sohc without vtec and with lower redline. Esi is 1.6litre sohc vtec with redline at 7,200 rpm. if i remember correctly,the Esi peak power of 125bhp is at about 6,600-6,800rpm. and nobody will ask question what is the power below 5,500rpm as it is not fix because the power depends on how much and fast you step on the gas pedal. there are no limits to modifications so the Lsi still can win a stock Esi. Esi has 4 disc brakes and power side mirror but the Lsi doe not has them. 3 door Esi has got sunroof but 3 door Lsi does not has sunroof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon__ Neutral Newbie August 16, 2010 Share August 16, 2010 (edited) On the side note: Is there any diff for EG series SiR and VTI? Some 2nd dealers are selling SiR at the much higher price than VTI, when they are supposedly the same respected B16A engine?? Eyeing one EG or EK hatch civic, but don't mind it is an LSI for Singapore, no place for you to race also. Edited August 16, 2010 by Soon__ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EG SiR? if iam not wrong you meant the limited model which is using B16 Dohc Vtec engine. i think only left about 1-2 in singapore. it comes in 3 door only and without sunroof. come people says it is equivalent to the EK civic Type R model.

Eyeing one EG or EK hatch civic, but don't mind it is an LSI for Singapore, no place for you to race also. If buying Honda without B-tec might as well dont buy. Buy other brands. It is not whether to race or not but there is difference. Anyway, ESI got v-tec hor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
