2016 Honda Civic Si Horsepower
2016 Honda Civic Si horsepower - The other day, the high-output figures of the "Civic Si" sedan and the coupe, which United States Honda announced in 2018, surprised the public. The reason is that it did not improve at all from the predecessor civic Si of "slight" 205hp. Only the maximum torque of 26.5 kg was improved from the predecessor model. In addition, I was surprised that the maximum output and torque were greatly different from the "Civic Type R" which generated the 306HP (United States specification). But there seems to be some reason for this, according to Mr. Davis Adams, a spokesperson for Honda.
First, the reason why the exhaust amount was made to be high output as 1.5 liters is due to the problem of the price side. It may have been possible to downgrade the Type R 2.0-liter engine, but it costs too much to use the engine. Honda wanted to keep the price set affordable.
And second, there is a reason for the team that developed this car. Civic Si was developed by the United States team as well as the sedan and coupe of the Standard Model "civic" designed for the North American market. 2016 Honda Civic Si horsepower - On the other hand, the Japan team was in charge of the hatchback and type R and decided to go with the 2.0-liter turbo engine from the initial stage. According to Mr. Adams, Ohio's team, which worked on the sedan and the coupe, found that most of the time was spent on the development of the 1.5-liter engine and could be more powerful. As a result, it became the engine as you know. The power is mainly raised by the increase of the boost pressure with different turbo maps. The interior is virtually unchanged, with the turbo engines stacked on other civic.
Of course, you don't know for sure if you really want to drive. However, as with the latest Mazda "Miata", newer and lighter cars can be a fun car even if the power is small. It is likely to be clear soon whether the new civic Si is so.

He says, "a car that can taste different types of performance" on Si. In other words, the SI model is a model aimed at realizing agile motor performance and precise handling. Weight reduction would have contributed to this as well. He said the new SI was lighter than the predecessor but did not reveal the exact figures. It is lighter than the old one, about 1, 360kg or less. By the way, the Focus ST is about 1, 460kg, the Golf GTI is roughly the same as the predecessor Civic Si, 2 doors about 1, 350kg, 4 doors are about 1, 370kg.
