There is no information on this. Ive seen it called a 1.5 turbo vtec, but idk. Im frustraded as most with this lack of available information. Also a new tread from road and track says the si will debut at the new York international auto show. Yet i cannot find anywhere else that confirms it. Can anyone clear any of this up. Also, is anyone else considering a different brand due to lack of power or availability?

This is really conjecture. We only know that there are two new engines being launched this year; one being a 1.5L turbo with i-vtec. We know the new Si is going to be offered with a turbo 1.5L. There hasn't been any official information on which 1.5L will go in the si.

However I'm more wondering about this new 1.5 itself. Specificly power outputs as well as whether or not it will be replacing the current 1.5 non-vtec engine across the Honda lineup.

Of those that have had experience with a preproduction Si being tuned for Thunderhill, it's not true VTEC like the CTR's 2.0T. We believe it's similar to the base 1.5 with dual VTC but no electronic lift.

I'm not sure off the top of my head whether or not I heard the Si debut from an official source or heresay.
