Hi i just baught a used 2000 Honda Civic Si and i had a couple questions.
1- I did some research and found that the 2000 honda civic si comes standard with a 1.6L V-tech engine @ 160 hp, i looked under tha hood of my car and the engine just says "HONDA" on it no "V-Tech" and my friend said its not a V-Tech engine, its only a "V-Tech" engine if it says "V-Tech" on it , is this true?
2-I was wondering what i have to do to turbo charge my civic? exhaust manifolds,air intake and change the ECU is that all i need to do to add a turbo charger ??

thank you all for your help

 

1- post a pic of your engine please. Do you know if its a B16?
2- you'll need a lot more than that to turbo your civic. Here is everything you need. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_19.../tm.htm#196090

3- its V-tec not V-tech

 

please sum1 any1 help? does any1 kno?

 

is that the only way u can tell is with a pic of my engine? i dont have a camera lol or pics right now... is there anything i should look for?? p.s this is my first car :S

 

Just go look at the engine code. Post up what the code is.

 

k i'll do it tomarrow after work .... hopefully sum1 will be online who can help ..... thank you for all your help

 

im almost 100% certain that 99 and 2000 si's have b16 vtec's in them....

 

well, you are correct, i just looked at the engine specs online, and it says the 2000 Honda civic SI, comes with 1.6 liter v-tec motor, with 160 HP, so yea...easy find, just yahoo'd the engine specs for that year si!!!

 

I think the concern here is whether or not it's the original engine. The stock Si engine for that year would read "DOHC (below) VTEC" on the valve cover, so why doesn't his? Perhaps an aftermarket valvecover thrown on. The engine code I guess is the only for sure way to find out. Hey man, you know the history if this car? Salvage title, number of owners, etc? Good luck.

 

is your car canadian? if so, your engine may vary

the canadian Si is the same as the US EX (1.6 SOHC VTEC that does not say VTEC on the valve cover)
