nothing really.... different HVAC, different front end (hood, bumper, grille, lights etc.).. ummm.. I think that's it

same motor

toronto_thunder 16-Dec-2007 08:34 PM

cool, this is the ad of the car
http://www.trader.ca/powerpage/detai...0&adid=6499759
it claims to have vtec engine i took it for a test drive lol it feels nice but i didn't know civic's came with vtec lol

Pyro 16-Dec-2007 10:29 PM

EK = 96-00 civic chassis
if you find the same year EL's it's a straight plug and play
and there's not much difference between a 96 and 99 si, just minor changes in the front end and different tail lights, that's the only differences i know of

toronto_thunder 16-Dec-2007 10:47 PM

oh cool thanks, what about the ad it says its vtec eng? Is that a swap or? sorry don't know much about hondas lol just i guess i hit the import craze lol

Pyro 16-Dec-2007 10:53 PM

it's most likely just the stock si engine....doubt it's a swap. dont' worry about the whole vtec engine thing, you can google it of wikipedia it if you want but vtec is just old honda technology that makes a nice sound lol.

edit: it actually does more than that, so just google it =P

toronto_thunder 16-Dec-2007 11:01 PM

hmmm after reading about it... i want it LOL.... I've search on here and haven't seen anything on doing a swap on an auto tranny... It should be workable anyway.. right?

ForSale 16-Dec-2007 11:45 PM

EK is the chassis/generation code.

All civics from 96-00 have the EK chassis code (except 99-00 canadian SiR models and US Si models (same car which has the chassis code "EM1" ))

Here's a link to all the honda civic chassis (generation) codes from 1988:

When you hear ppl talking on here about EG's, EK's, EP's, EF's...etc.etc. you'll know what they're talking about.

**** thanks man!

The D series engine in your Si will be a SOHC vtec engine. They are decent for modding and make pretty good power. The vtec system on a D series is not as noticable or effective as that of the DOHC B series vtec engines such as the B16A2 (found in the 99-00 civic SiR model) and the B17/B18 series (found in the integra GSR).

On a B series DOHC vtec engine, with a good intake system, you can hear the cam change over (VTEC) hit (from 5600-8200rpm on a B16) and you can really feel it during acceleration as well. (look up some videos on youtube or streetfire.net)

toronto_thunder 17-Dec-2007 12:55 AM

Yah i know i've seen them on youtube after reading about vtec that's why i want a swap in a b16 but i can only drive auto LOL... so i'm hopping i can work something with that

starboy869 17-Dec-2007 02:27 AM

Some B16A2 from JDM came with an auto mated from the factory. Different cam/vtec setting due to the automatic transmission. I remember seeing a B16A auto for sale but it was in Cali.

AUTO FTW for GTA grid lock rush hour traffic.

BTW: You can't mix and match B series and D series parts/tranmissions.

Pyro 17-Dec-2007 03:25 AM

you could always just learn manual.

i learned after my b18 swap. no regrets =)

DumbasSi 17-Dec-2007 09:05 AM

I had a 98 Si and it was a great little car. Somedays I wish I never got rid of it. I would try to find a lower k 98-00 Si, bone stock and 5 speed Maybe with the G package too. It adds ABS and A/C. Learn to drive stick and you will have a great car with lots of potential for very little cost.
