Hey guys, I don't live in the US or UK and I have a 96 Honda civic sedan. I live in Pakistan and my car is called the civic vti here. It's got a single stage I think it's called... vtec sohc 1.6L d16y6 motor. It's a manual transmission. I'm told by my good friend Wikipedia that it's the same as the y8 motor but it's called y6 in some parts of the world. I also don't have rear disk breaks or abs or anything if it will help you identify my car. I want to know what it's called in the US or UK with those specs so I can follow the appropriate threads on this forum. I don't know what ek and dx and hx mean in the mean time... Sorry if im asking a question asked too frequently here, I'm still new here

 

hmm in the US that sounds like a ex trim 4 door sedan with a 5 speed

 

Could you also please give me a comparison with the other models? So I can also know how I fare against them if it isn't too much to ask? I love my civic and so I'm here but I'm no expert ^^

 

From what i've read, the D16y6 engine were never made in the USA or EU


Here's some info from none other than "NOFX"

 

Yea he is in pakistan. Do you have pics of the car?

 

the first six digits of the chassis number would help the most
it will be on your firewall stamped into it
from there you can do a break down of what the model is

 

What do you need to know? You answered your own question. If your asking what u.s model its closest to I believe its like the ex yours just looks better im sure

 

Us model would be ex but you have the gas saving vtec is the only diff that motor doesn't put out much HP as the ex here in the states or UK which is 125hp vti is I believe 105hp but other than that should be identical in model number

 

VTEC aint gas saving.

 

Oh alright then. Thanks for the input guys! I'm out of town right now so I can't quite take a picture of my car right now, plus its at Honda getting repaired right now. I had a pretty bad accident in it recently so I can't get the chassis or engine numbers either, but I wanted to do some research into it so I can take care of it myself when it gets back.
Here is a picture of what my car looks like its not my car, but a pic of the exact same looking car: http://www.google.com.pk/search?q=ci...DR3XRMhk__StM:

So ex it is then I guess

 

Assuming the Y6 is similar to the Y8, you basically have a DX chassis with roughly an EX motor.

 

Yeah sounds about right.
