Im looking to buy this 93 si hb but the info I get is that it doesn't have vtec?

I thought all the 92-95 si hb were vtec?

Also, it is canada manufactured/sold and wanted to know if that matters, or if the info I have is wrong and it is vtec.

Also, if someone has a carfax account and could run the vin for me I'd appreciate it

vin# 2hgeh3380ph537637

it has 132k/mi replaced timing belt, and is in pretty clean shape, the guy is asking $3,600 for it, it was driven by his wife and has been babied

the only prob is dented / f**ked up hood and headlight (will replace with carbon fiber & projectors

Thanks in advance for helping out this (soon to be) first time honda owner

If the valve cover says VTEC, it's VTEC. If not....well, you know the deal.

if you're in canada, your si is equivalent to our dx i believe. that would mean that the si has a d15b7 i think and does not have VTEC. it would be an SiR that has VTEC for you.

If it was sold new in Canada, it's not the equivalent of a USDM Si hatch. The Canadians got a slightly different trim level scheme... their Si coupe is our EX coupe, and their SiR is our Si. I guess if you can go one trim level 'below' the USDM Si, that's probably what the Canadian Si is. I don't know which trim that would be though... I assume DX.

yeah what i said =]

chet · 11-12-2002, 05:28 PM

just check the motor, look for a vtec solenoid.

check for rear disc brakes, check for sway bars, check for a clock, check for a tachometer...they're are many differences between dx's and si's and vx's/cx's.

if it has rear discs and a tach, chances are its a single cam vtec.

The_MATRIX · 11-12-2002, 07:07 PM

get this, rear disc w/tach no-vtec emblem on valve cover...

shucks

Im not really too worried about it though, I'm eyeing a 94 RS teg right now its the teg, the hatch, or a civ (94 ex coupe)

any opinions?

Some 92-95 Si's have no vtec valve covers. Mine is a 93 si vtec and have no vtec written on it. And as far as I know, all si's come with 14" rims the dx's are 13s. Also all si's as far as I know come with Sunroofs. And if u really wanna know what engine u have check it on the block on the left side above the tranny.
