JDM legend, 1991–1995

Honda Civic SiR (EG6) specifications

The EG6 SiR is the hatchback that made VTEC famous. Its 1.6-litre B16A revved to 8,000 rpm and made 100 hp per litre without a turbo, in a small light shell that rewards a driver more than a dyno.

  • Figures are for the Japanese-market B16A (160 PS, which is 158 hp). European and US Civics of the era made less power from different engines.
  • Weight and acceleration figures vary by source and trim, so they are left blank until we can cite them.
