What's amazing is that the 1.5L Turbo of Europe Produces a power of 201bhp (174bhp American) and 260 Nm of Torque). It also features VTEC which the US version doesn't.

201bhp in Europe I'm pretty sure there is no "American" conversion. It looks like the euro motor has vtec added. Does the euro market get an Si?

 

[Shoaib Shafique]

Nah. Just 1 good old civic. Shapes and dimensions are same. Engines are only Turbo-charged.

 

[Shoaib Shafique]

See. 260 Nm of Max Torque.

1.0L Turbo

If the engines are the same exact specs, why is the North American 1.5L turbo being detuned.

27hp difference significant... thats a 15% power difference.

My guess, and I have no idea if this holds up at all, is we might see the Si in the U.S. get that version of the motor with a manual trans.

It makes sense, the non Si models get the turbo without vtec or manual. The Si gets the 1.5t with vtec and a manual trans.

Say What? They better plan on making Si affordable and auto for sure. Im getting irate!

 

[firsthonda]

Yea the 1.5 T is looking like Si engine if they modify, better turbo it is 200 lbs lighter then 2.4 so they can make Si 2795 lbs compared to 3000

Timing belt on 1.0 no thank you. Timing chain please

The HP/Trq of the that Euro 1.5T is 201hp/191trq

 

[firsthonda]

What is an idling stop system? Auto stop at lights?

Im guessing yes.

That's better then our current Si! What the heck

Thats why Im thinking we might be looking at our Si motor right there.

 

[Shoaib Shafique]

There's a significant gap. I dont know why. I'm atleast happy getting the Turbos only
1.0T takes down 2.0L NA in torque
1.5T (euro) is the biggest of all. (exclude Type-R)
