I dont think so. 130 hp from a 89 Si? The Si has a D16A6 w/ 115 horsepower. Nothing great.

Yeah....that would be correct on the 115...but that still isn't too bad.....thats a far ammount of power for a car that light..wouldn't call it a race car or anything but still is a semi fast car imo..

as for making it fast..you could go for boost or go for swap....if your looking for a fast Ef you are probably gunna wanna go with a b16 swap and boost from there....


B16 runs about 160-170 hp...

115Hp is not that great..
But, its better than the 90 in my 90DX for sure!



Yes, you can make these cars as fast as your little mind can imagine.
We have a shop in town, has a honda running an 8.59@167.99.
All it takes is the passion, and you can make a honda do anything.

yeah on a d16a6 in a 89 honda you would be lucky to have 115. old age could wear that engine down. however the car is super light compared to other cars.
