ey whats up guys im a total newbie when it comes to cars but i know a lil here n there but heres my problem i bought an 88' CRX a couple months ago n i havent really started to work on it till recently. when i bought the car the guy said it was SI but from what i heard SI's come with a sunroof and what not but the car didnt have a sunroof. from what i heard my car is the HF because everythings manual like the windows and what not. SO to my point, i went to buy spark plugs at kragen autoparts today and when i told him the year and make n what not he asked me if it was a 1.5L but i said no its a 1.6 because thats what the motor said and he said that its the SI motor?? so im not sure but if you guys could just help me out with my confusion lol that would be great

 

if its a 1.6 liter.. then its an si....

 

Look at the fromt of the block there is a flat spot where they stamp the engine code.It should say D16A6.You have four fuel injectors or does it say dual point injection on the air cleaner assembly on top of the manifold?If it has four injectors and says PGMFI on the intake manifold but D15XX on the engine you have a HF.

 

so theres a 1.6 liter non si?

i ------- suck

 

No you are correct the only model that had a 1.6 was the SI.

 

i heard you can put honda motors from different cars into other hondas!? maybe thats what happened!?

d16a6 = Si MOTOR
Power sunroof, 'crx' stiching on door panels, cluster w/ 6500rpm redline tach, grey stiched front seats w/ head rests with "holes" = Si CHASSIS

 

also, none of the US crx's had power windows or locks.

 

Also if it's an Si check the rear of the car...should have disc brake rear setup and a sway bar. If it has none of the above, then you got shafted :P

 

I could've sworn only 90 and 91 crx si's had the disc brakes

 

Correct.
