Cav/Cally turbo, 16v GTE and the rest on tuning bits.
Or, a cheap Corsa, C20XE and some good brakes/suspension and a bit of engine work.

VTECs are 160bhp, my mates will stay with my corsa all day long in a straight line. was a while ago tho when mine was no well, i shall have to race him again 
I dont think ur gsi will 'take one.' Have u not changed the inlet manifold as well?

Erm....the old H plate vtec's are shite...and yes my gsi does "take them" no problem, the del sol's are 160bhp and that might be a different story without NOS but that wasnt the question

yeah, if it's the b16a then it should be well rapid.
i had a later shape civic vti coupe with the same engine, and that was far faster than my 16v calibra.
the vtec is a cracking engine, but £3k is well overpriced as has been said already
