Si Vs VTi........yes ive searchd, bear with me

[accordtech]

hey guys,

sorry to ask this yet again, but every resource i look at gives me a different answer.

is the EG civic Si that comes with a D16 single cam or double? and is it vtec?
the VTi, is this also another version of the D16 that is single cam?

please somone clear this up for me

I HAVE READ THE PINNED TOPICS ON THIS but the redbook and other sites give different specs.

civic si- twin cam non vtec d16a8
civic vti- single cam vtec d16y1

D16A8 DOHC 1.6L ~96kw
D16Y1 SOHC 1.6L VTEC ~96kw


From what ive gathered, D16A8 provides more power down low, but the VTEC produces more power up high

both have disc brakes. VTi has sunroof.

I have asked a very similar question in my What car to Buy thread.
And from what I have gathered from reading various posts on this forum.
Si would perform better then the Vtec SOHC. Apparently the Vtec EG is a slug down low. Where as the SI is stronger through out the whole range.
On a run down 1/4 from what i have heard. The SI would leave the 1.6 SOHC Vtec behind. Both great cars. I am considering one of the two my self

also on american websites the Vti is referred to as Si. but with the d16z6 motor(similar variant of the d16y1). so that could be where some of the confusions occur.

the Si is actually DOHC

also, the Si was produced from the end of '91 to '93 and the Vti from '93 to '95. they were both the top of the range model in the civic lineup.

i think he meant he doesnt want to touch the vti with SOHC
