160 Caballos de fuerza en una carroceria de 990 Kilogramos.
TOO MUCH!!!

No he tenido el gusto de ver de esos aqui, he visto Si pero no Si-R. De las ranas mas nuevas si. Hasta con B16B, y es una barbaridad lo que jalan y como suena ese motor girando a 8000 rpm+. Un respeto al Old School de Honda.

En PZ hay un SIR negro 1991, ah, pero todavia hay old school mas viejo, los Civic SI DOHC de el 84 al 87, que eran de 135hp, en sus tiempo tambien daban palito ;), MUGEN le llego a sacar 250 a ese motor :)

The 4th generation Honda Civic was introduced in Europe at the IAA in Frankfurt Germany in September 1987. It was a very technical advanced car for its time, 4 valves per cylinder, double wishbone suspension front and rear and VTEC for the top model hatchback. It was available as 3 door hatchback, 4 door sedan, wagon (shuttle) and 3 door coupe (CRX). Rover build their 200 and 400 series on the Civic base.
A wide variety of engines was available for the 4th generation Civic. From a 1.2L SOHC to the 1.6L DOHC VTEC.

Base model of the 4th generation Civic was a 1.2L SOHC, this single carbureted engine was not available for the European and American market. For Europe the base model was the 1.3Luxe (23L/23U for the Japanese market) 1.3L SOHC single carbureted engine.
Next engine was the 1.4L which was not available in the USA and Japan. It was a 1.4L SOHC dual carbureted engine that was available only in 1988 and 1989. (replaced by the 1.5i GL and GLX in 1990).
The 1.5L SOHC engine came in a wide variety, dual-point injection, single carbureted and dual carbureted. Those engines were available in the JDM 25X/25XT, USDM DX and the USDM STD model (USDM base model), EDM 1.5i GL and GLX (only difference between EDM GL and GLX is a different standard equipment and a different FDR).
Next in line was the 1.6L SOHC. Simply 1.6i for the European market and Si for the American market (US top model). (not to be confused with the JDM Si which is a 1.6L DOHC)
Second highest model was the JDM Si. It was equipped with a 1.6L DOHC (ZC) engine and delivered 130hp. The EDM 1.6i GT and 1.6i-16 (depends on country) had a ZC like 1.6L DOHC engine and had a stock 124hp (D16Z5) or 130hp (D16A9). All DOHC engines are equipped with Honda's multipoint fuel injection system (although there seems to have been a 1.6L DOHC non-VTEC with dual carburetors for the 4th gen.).
Top model of the hatchback was the Japanese SiR with the 160hp B16A engine. In Europe the SiR was called 1.6i-VT and had a similar B16A1 engine. These top models of the 4th generation Civic were one of the first Honda's that were equipped with the famous VTEC system (the NSX was the first, the JDM 90/91 Integra XSi/RSi also had a B16A). See the VTEC section for more info on the SiR and 1.6i-VT.
In 1990 the 4th gen Civic had a light "facelift". Some things that changed was the front bumper design, the front corner lights no longer had the two screws on the outside, the gauge cluster cover shape slightly changed, tail light units design changed and USDM Civics' got door mounted seatbelts (88-89 frame mounted).

Top model of the 4th generation Honda Civic was the JDM (Japanese domestic market) SiR (EF9). It is equipped with the 1.6L DOHC VTEC engine (B16A) that delivers 160hp @ 7600rpm. The VTEC system is tuned for optimal performance unlike some later VTEC engines like the 5th gen. EDM (European domestic market) VEi, SOHC VTEC, tuned for fuel-efficiency and the VTEC-E(conomy) models (VX). The B16A was a very technical advanced engine for its days and still is today. It is a short stroke 4 in-line that delivers its max. hp at 7600rpm and the redline is at a astonishing 8000 rpm. Later generations B16A's can be found in the next generations Civics' and in the Del Sol (CRX for Europe). Compared to the other 4th generation Civics' the SiR has a completely different front-end. It has different headlights, a different bumper and the hood is bigger to accommodate the larger B-series engine. The different front end however is not exclusively for the VTEC models, the special models of the JDM 23L and 25X and the late models of the JDM hatchbacks have a similar front-end.


More visual differences between the ‘normal’ models and the VTEC models: The roof spoiler is bigger (SiR only), the VT and SiR have 'side skirts', rear bumper lip, the center plate between the tail-lights is red and says CIVIC VTEC and the SiR has a different gauge cluster (see picture below).
Europe's equivalent of the SiR was called 1.6i VT (EE9). Although it was also equipped with a B16A engine (B16A1) and the same SiR front-end there are many (small) differences. For one the EDM version ‘only’ has 150hp (SiR 160). The exact reason for this is not very clear, the head is the same but the VT does not have a knock sensor. A theory is that the EDM VT has a different ignition timing and is detuned because of Octane ratings (JDM 98RON, EDM 95RON).
The VT has slightly different gear ratio's, also the SiR has the speedometer in the center of the gauge cluster, the VT has a standard layout. The biggest difference off course is that the SiR is right-hand drive and the VT left-hand drive (except for the UK and Irish VT models).
Both the SiR and VT have rear disk brakes and larger ventilated disks in front. The suspension also improved and is (compared to the other 4th gens) different in many ways.
The B16A engine was also available in the JDM CRX (EF8) and EDM CRX (EE8). Again the CRX 1.6i VT and SiR have a different front-end and different suspension (among other things). Again the VT has 150hp and the SiR 160hp. Compared to the EDM 1.6i-16 (1.6L DOHC) the VT adds more standard equipment, such as full leather seats, power windows, power mirrors, low fuel indicator light etc.
For some reason there has never been a USDM (United States domestic market) 4th gen Civic/CRX VTEC. The Si (1.6L SOHC) was the US top model. But off course there are a lot of hybrid 4th gens with the 1.6L DOHC VTEC and non-VTEC engines.
