I just purchased a 92 civic Hatchback Si with 157,000 miles for $1400. I was wondering if it really is a si or not? When i look on cars.com they list that 92 civic si came with power windows and alloy wheels, which i have neither of. I have some crappy hub cap wheels and roll down windows. Is it an Si or not? What other things make a 92 civic hb an obvious si? Thanks for your help.

 

Check this code with the car in the engine: B16A 1.6 16V DOHC VTEC PGM-FI 1595 170hp@7800rpm 116tq@7300rpm 92-95 Civic

If that aint it, dont buy it!

 

I think he already bought it

 

Then grab a torch and pitch fork

 

a 92 si is only listed as having 125 hp anyways, is there a thing on here to compare the VIN?

 

Just went out and looked all over the engine bay, the only thing on the engine itself is H Honda. There is nothing else anywhere. Just the Vin in a few spots. I also noticed that there is a screw missing out of the head! haha what a piece of junk. But yeah, Si or no? I'd really like to know how to tell the difference.

 

What's the VIN?

 

is the 8th digit of the vin the engine on every car?

Look harder. There should be an engine stamp on the block somewhere.
