Yeah what the title says... Have they gone out of fashion, there maybe a few around but more and more people are going for the Suzuki option, is it easier? is that what it is, I would imagine there would be a large power difference between the two and for those who want power  would go for a vtec??

I know it's been noted before that the VTEC engines / half cuts are often more expensive than the 4EFTE Starlet and G13B Suzuki option. Probably has a lot to do with it since everybody has a budget. |

The bulk of the cost isn't in the engine really but in getting everything in and running. VTEC 1.6L+ are big and heavy and harder to fit neatly and more power can be made from the smaller and lighter 4EFTE I think in Australia the 4EFTE is still the most common, with G13B second. These options are also tried and trusted locally. |

...And most conversions (that I've seen) push the track out much wider than standard. A big no no for rego.
