What trim level is it? DX, LX, EX?





and it's a 1.5

[Kinked210]

If it's an EX/Si it's 1.6...otherwise it's 1.5

[crackinhatchin]

no no no, he did a engine swap with someone but hes havin second thoughts, its a si

Doesn't the vtec one have the spark plugs at the front of the motor and the non-vtec had them at the back of the motor; or am I just trippin'?

ok, so what exactly do you want to know now?

[civicnubie]

So then...

My questions would be:

How do you know what trim group you have?

Is there any way to distinguish between the 1.5 and 1.6 if you don't know the trim group (ie physical engine apearance, different oil filters, etc.)?

Check the stamp on the engine block where the vin# is.

[kicker1_solo]

yeah, look at the stamp, it will say D15(blah blah) or D16(blah blah)
