You don't have a '98 Si. You either have a '99 Si or a '98 EX. Either way, it already has a VTEC engine in it. My guess is you don't have a '99 Si because you probably would've noticed the big silverish word "VTEC" on the black valve cover. My second reason is that VTEC is barely noticeable on stock D16 engines...you have a D16Y8.
Ah, Canadian model. Yeah, your SiR is our Si so your Si is our EX.
?
VERY TRUEIt only sucks if you're on the B-Series bandwagon.
In other words, there are plenty of things you can do with the engine to make power.
Dewly Noted!!!Blanco is the man you want to talk to around here... when it comes to building a d-series
Don't call yourself stupid, you're just new...and willing to learn.
Not all of the D16 VTEC valve covers say VTEC on them. A lot of them just say Honda.
There's a flat spot on the front of the engine block, to the left of the exhaust manifold, and right where the engine and transmission bolt together. It's about 4"x4", so if you look for it you should be able to find it. That will have your engine code on it and will say D16Y8
fuck my engine sucks doesnt it? it has a d16y8
Reading > Youif your still wondering if you have the d16y8...which you do...you can look for yourself by opening your hood, looking at the left side of your block in the front theres an engine code that will say exactly what your engine is.
