Honda Civic Si and VTEC
The Honda Civic Si does not have a traditional VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system. Instead, it uses a turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection to produce power. The 2019 Civic Si, for example, uses a 1.5-liter engine with a turbocharger and direct fuel injection to generate 205 horsepower, the same amount as its VTEC-equipped, non-turbocharged, 2.0-liter predecessor. The 2022 Civic Si is powered by an updated high-output VTEC 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with broader power curves than before, producing a peak torque of 192 lb.-ft. at 1800-5000 rpm.
In summary, the Honda Civic Si does not utilize the traditional VTEC system, but instead employs a turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection to achieve its power output.
