How much HP does civic make?

[94svt5.0]

How much HP does a 1991 civic dx with 1.5 liter engine make? My wife has one and Im trying to figure out why its so sluggish and slow. Dont know if there is something wrong with it or if it just makes crappy HP.
thanks

Its around 113 if I rember correctly, unless its VTEC then its 120.

I dont think v-tec came out for many years later.

since its a 1.5 liter sohc non v tec. i'm guess your gettin around 92 hp at the wheels.

113 engine, 92 at the wheels, sounds correct

I have no clue when v-tec came out sooo...heh....

Yeah, it sucks. I have a STD hatchback, which is even worse. It only has about 70hp!

v-tec came out in 92 but it wasnt until 96 (i think) they started to label the car that had it.

v tec came out in 90 on the NSX, then the first car to have v-tec besides the nsx is the second gen integra gs-r in 93 which has a 1.7 liter v-tec. in japan the EG Si-R II has a B16A so that was v tec also.

the dx doesnt have 113 at the crank considering the si only has 108.
i think it has somewhere around 90 hp, with the shitty dpfi fuel setup.
tat, youre forgetting the jdm ef civic sirI that came with the b16a

The 91 DX makes 92. Also Vtec did come out in 92, and they began to label the cars that had it in 94, beginning with the integra gs-r. The gen 2 GS-R (90-93) I think also had vtec, but I doubt it was labled

Yes, the 90-93 GSRs were labeled and had VTEC(b17a). The VTEC logos were on both sides of the fender moldings next to the doors. The LS/GS/RS non-VTEC models just had DOHC on them.

92 hp? no wonder its so darn slow

Did you hear me? I've only got 70hp! I'd be happy to have 92... Of course the crx EF is even worse than the STD with 62hp.

Ummm... if you're talking JDM then you are forgetting the '90 Integra with the B16A and EF8 CRX and EF9 Civic - also with B16A. And yes, they were labelled as VTEC powered - do I need to post pictures of the proof or has everyone seen them enough times? :finger:

BTW - Europe also got the EE8 CRX and EE9 Civic - in '90 - once again B16A powered.

I hear you.

And wow a whole 70hp!!! you know thats less hp at the crank than I have at the wheels? Infact if you think about it I have more than twice as much HP at the crank than you do.


sorry.
