Yes, please. Before I joined this forum, I knew that Civics had a 1.6-liter engine, and later Civics had a 1.7-liter engine. However, it would seem as though cars are referred to as letters here and engines are referred to as a combination of letters and numbers.

For example, if you ask me, my Civic is a 1995 sedan with a 1.6-liter engine and automatic transmission...how would that translate into "forum-lingo" here, since I very rarely see cars and engines referred to in this way?

Kthx.

not all civics have 1.6L motors, i'd be as bold to say MOST of them had 1.5L

no forum lingo. just the name of your engine code

Engine code....?

anony95ex

This thread is a perfect example...I'm completely clueless as to what he's asking as I understand NOTHING with the abbreviations and such:

d16a
b16a
b16b,theres a few it depends if your engine is dohc or sohc carbed or injected pretty much.

So what engine code do I have?

And what's the number mean that the USA uses...there's gotta be a reason for it.

ekcivic9

b-series engines, h-series engines, d-series.
1.6 liter, 1.7 liter etc...

b16, b-series 1.6 liter etc...

D series engines are the engines that come in every civic except the 99-00 Si.

These are d15's and d16's, meaning 1.5 liter and 1.6 liter. d17 is 1.7, etc

B series are motors that came in integras, also in the 99-00 civic si.

b16, b18, meaning 1.6 liter and 1.8 liter.

your engine code is stamped on your block, and thats the basics for engine codes.

all d series motors (mostly) are single overhead cam (sohc)

all b series are dual overhead cam (dohc)

Everyone's got the engine code down...the letters you're talking about for the "cars" is the chassis code (the body style)...ef = 88-91 civic, eg = 92-95 civic, ek = 96-00, etc.

this will help you with the engine codes on USDM and JDM vehicles.
