Technical specifications of Honda cars

Naturally-aspirated petrol power units equipped with the VTEC electronic valve timing system received the recognition of car enthusiasts. These engines, with their 1.6 — 2.0 litres displacement, were characterized by 150–200 hp output. The maximum torque was reached at 8,000 – 9,000 rpm. At the same time, the engines were characterized by high fuel efficiency: fuel consumption in extra-urban cycle didn’t exceed 7 litres per 100 km. These engines were installed, for instance, on the Honda Civic saloons and hatchbacks (1996–2000) and the Integra coupes (1998–2001).
