If your car is a 92 with 16valves you have to be an SI 1.6L 16V SOHC VTEC, 125hp @ 6600 RPM correct me if I am wrong.. shouldn't be since I looked it up.

where are you from? most of us are from the USA, so we have some different engine options around the world that we arent used to here.

welcome to hcf, you could have a d14a1 motor but i thought they didn't have them in 1992. if it is a d14a1 it has 90 ps or 89 hp @ 6300 rpm and it has 16 valves. i have a d15b7 it has 16 valves and its a dx

i think so too that i have a d14a1 engine cuz dats the only engine 1.4 with carb other engines are all fuel injectors.
i am from Muscat, Oman, which is in the middle east.
d16z6 is a fuel injector type, so i think dat rules out. and yes d14a1 was till 1991 but i think its just my luck i got it.
well all is good. the only things in the car not working properly are the steering( i think its just the wheel alignments, will get it checked today) and the AC(the compressor seems to be weak).
all other is good, just need a lot of cleaning in the interior.
