I am new to this forum and I currently drive a 98 Mustang v6 5 speed... I know its a pile of ****.. anyway I was wanting to sell it and buy some sort of civic for gas mileage mainly. I also want a little power and was thinking about trying to find a v-tech. How much more power would the v-tech have than my car(150hp and 3000 pounds) and how good of mileage can you get with the v-tech compared to a base civic engine? thanks a lot

 

Buying a phone are we?

And it all depends on what type of engine you are looking for. If you are looking for a double over head cam or a single slammer. The horse power varies.

 

First off it's VTEC!! Check this out to learn more about the engines that honda makes and their hp and tq rating: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_1156/tm.htmand you can check this out to learn about honda's and acura's differentmodels and weights: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_85691/tm.htm
if you wanted you could put one of honda's 200hpengines (B18C5) in a 2100lb civic hatchback and have a sick power to rate ratio which would make a joke out of your mustang.
