Newby here, just gt a 1996 Civic HX coupe.

Hey guys, just got a new Civic 2 HX coupe. I don't know much about Hondas but love this car so far. I have a super trick 380hp 1995 SHO , but want to do some trick stuff to this one. FDirst, what motor is it? I am seeing conflicting info on it I think it is a SOHC VTEC-E, what the hell is this? It is all stock except a front strut bar a guy gave me today free NIB! SWEET! Anyway, any information, comments on this post are welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

it is probably a d16 which means start looking for a b16 and that will give u some good output that ull want, then go forced induction to finish it off for some good whp

Yeah, right after I posted up my uh...post I noticed a thread about which VTEC is what and read it. It says I have the motor that is for econemy and power but not the best power. I would not even install a turbo on this motor as it isn't DOHC. I may look for a DOHC VTEC but may just use this as a daily driver and trick out the suspension only!
