Hey,

looking to buy civic si around 1998... do they all have vtec engines? is that year good for si ? and how much horse power is it.

thanks

 

and what is SI-G? what is G for and what does it add to the car...

tx

 

1. All Si's have VTEC engines in them.

2. Any year is a good year for an SI[sm=smiley2.gif]

3. HP is around 170 at the flywheel

 

I don't think there was a USDM Si made in 98. 99 or 00 is what you want...

 

i have a 99 ex with the 99 si engine swap.....its to me the best looking civic and the engine runs smooth.....the best engine for modification reasons i think....

 

just for clarity, the si didnt have vtec until 92. also, only the 99-00 SIs have the dohc vtec(USDM)and its 160hp at the flywheel, the jdm motors have slightly higher compression and they have the 170hp. the 92-95 si only has 125hp sohc vtec, but its still a good platform to build with.

 

tx for the info... do any pother models accept SI have vtec in them? which other model is closer to SI performance?

tx!

 

the 92 and up EXs came with vtec and had comparable performance to the 92-95 SIs, but none of the sohc vtecs can hang with the dohc vtec in the 99-00 si.

P.S. the 92-95 also offered a VX hatchback which was equipped with vtec-e which is designed for fuel efficiency not for power, it actually has less power than the non-vtec in the dx

 

asked this earlier but no one replied... what is SI-G? i see them for sale says honda civic SIG how is it different from SI ?

tx!

 

never heard of it??

The 99-00 is my favorite, im not into the new Si. I hear they are bringing back the SI coupe in the next couple years.[sm=smiley4.gif]
