Engines
In Japan, the cheapest model was the EL (and also a short-lived special EL-II model), powered by a 1,343 cc D13B engine with 91 PS (67 kW) at 6,300 rpm. As for most of the sixth generation Civics, it has a single overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder.
All US model CX, DX, Value Package, and LX models used the D16Y7 I4. It produced 106 hp (79 kW) at 6,200 rpm, 103 lb·ft (140 N·m) of torque at 4,600 rpm, with a compression ratio of 9.6:1. Fuel injection was multi-point, with SOHC (single overhead camshaft) and four valves per cylinder.
The US model HX had the D16Y5. It produced 115 hp (86 kW) at 6,300 rpm, 104 lb·ft (141 N·m) of torque at 5,400 rpm, with a compression ratio of 9.4:1. Fuel injection was multi-point, with SOHC, four valves per cylinder, and VTEC-E (electronically controlled variable valve timing, tuned for economy).
The US model EX and Canadian Si had the D16Y8. It produced 127 hp (95 kW) at 6600 rpm, 107 lb·ft (145 N·m) of torque at 5500 rpm, with a compression ratio of 9.6:1. Fuel injection was multi-point, with SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, and VTEC (electronically controlled variable valve timing, tuned for power).
The US model Si and Canadian SiR used the B16A2. It produced 160 hp (119 kW) at 7600 rpm, 111 lb·ft (150 N·m) of torque at 7000 rpm, with a compression ratio of 10.2:1. Fuel injection was multi-point, with DOHC (dual overhead camshafts), 4 valves per cylinder, and VTEC.
In the UK, Europe, South Africa and the Philippines, there were a number of sedans and aerodecks between 1996 and 2000 produced with the B16A1, B16A2, B18B and even B18C motors.
The GX sedan was a trim available only in the United States. These cars were produced in fairly limited numbers and were sold to government agencies. The D16B5 which powered the GX was a compressed natural gas engine.
In Japan, the Civic Ferio Si used the second generation B16A engine while the other models used D15B, D16A or D13B engines.
In the Middle East market, the Civic came with a 105 hp (78 kW) D15Z4 engine for LXi and EXi models.
in Australia, most models came with the D16Y4 engine; the VTI sedan model had the D16Y5, the VTI coupe the D16Y8 and the VTI-R Hatchback and Coupe had the B16A engine.

Famous quotes containing the word engines:
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
