I doubt it will have a k series motor, I am willing to be though that what they did to acheive this output is a port and polish, full engine balancing, new pulleys and a lightend flywheel. I have a friend with a 98 si that with huge engine mods which included port and polish and many more he squeezed out about 180 hp out of the d16 sohc vtec, with nitrious of course.

Rep Power: 0 I actually read the article for this in the magazine when it came out a while ago. And considering that it is dated on March 2003, it was a while ago. I don't know how to get this though, do you ask the dealer?

Rep Power: 0 The dealer charges upwards of $3500 for the "FP" Civic. It's a mild suspension upgrade and some new wheels. 160 HP would be nice if the price stayed the same. Sorry, if I was in the market for a pocket rocket the SRT-4 wins hands down. Nothing can touch it for the price. 215 HP, 0-60 in under 6 seconds and a 7 year warranty. I'll take mine in black please.
