Kindly note that not all EFI engines are the same. Some are multi-point injection while others have individual fuel injection system. Multi-point usually have two fuel injectors to spray fuel into the four cylinders.

Thanks for the tip

The only car locally sold that features VTEC3 technology was the ES Civic which used the D16 engine and gave 130hp.

Yes, it was sold from late 2000-2006 actually. The EK hatch was never officially sold here, the barebones EG hatch is.

Yes, VTEC3, is the three-stage VTEC. There is no particular JDM or non-JDM in this aspect.

And yes, that engine is the one found in the ES Civic and features VTEC3 technology.

I own a Corolla GLI than I plan to sell to get a Civic. Ito naman nakita ko Civic ESI with a D15B VTEC engine. Converted daw to sabi nila. Not much of a car guru as this would be my 2nd car pa lang. Oks na po ba to?
