i beleive your car comes with a b16a2 im not sure but if you can find a turbo kit for your car i say do it. if anything, basic bolt-ons such as intake/headers/exhaust will do and also go with some drop springs!

well seeing the the si came out in 99-2000 my guess is you don not have a si. so if some one sold you a 97 si you got ripped.

Not sure where this guy is from but they sure as hell made Si's prior to 99 in Canada. The Si dates back to at least 93 here. So maybe he did not get ripped off as you so nicely suggested.

Translated into Americanese.... Canada Si = US EX, aka D16Y8.
There's billions of parts available for Y8s.

Thank man...well I will look into what parts I can get...I didn't know what the american model equivalent of my car...so that is a big help in itself. Thanks again.

the american equivelant is the ex model or the d16y8, and as state4d above there are plenty of upgrades to do. search the forum, as usual i would say start with I/H/E, maybe a nice clutch and flywheel.

FYI, the civic si has been around in the US since 1985.
