It is Sport Injection.

The Toda pic that you posted is actually what is called ITB's or Individual Throttle Bodies. They may call it a sport injection kit, but Si also stands for that.

Yup - original S stood for sport. Then Honda added fuel injection and presto, the Si (Sport injection) was born.

Ditto. Si is meaningless today. But there was a time when Honda's run on CVCC carbs and handle like crap.

It stands for Sport Injection.
In the old CRX Si's, when there was no VTEC, the only difference from the other CRX models was that instead of a 1.5, it had a 1.6. Thus, more fuel being injected in the engine. So Honda was like, "Hey, it's getting Sports Injection!"

yeah, the si first appeared in the 85 crx. that was also the first year of fuel injection, hence the "si" designation. the first civic si was 86 with the same motor as the crx, but with different cam timing.
