EF-series (1987-1991) Honda 'Cyber'-CRX 3-door Coupe
EF-series (1987-1991) Honda 'Grand'-Civic
(1991-1995) EG-series Honda Civic & Civic Ferio 3-door Hatch and 4-door Sedan
EK-series 3-door "Hatch-Back" Honda Civic (1995-2000)
EK-series 4-door "Sedan" Honda Civic Ferio (1995-2000)
DA-series (1989-1993) Honda Integra 3-door Coupe and 4-door Sedan

(Another site wtih specs is http://www.streettuners.com/curve/en...ine_specs.html)

CF means Carbon Fiber (as in a CF hood)

Note: For basic stuff, like your questions, you're probably better off searching with google.com instead of here on honda-tech.

Good luck and read the FAQs out there on the Internet. Almost any question you could have has already been answered and most likely put into FAQ form.

I think that should be 88-91 for the EF (at least for america's versions). And by EF, it is the chassis code for the jdm (or japanese domestic market) version of the car.

USDM = United States Domestic Market
JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
EDM = European Domestic Market

Hybrid = car with the engine from another chassis in it(IE - 91 CRX w/ 91 LS integra engine)

84-87 = Thrid gen civic & first gen CRX(USDM chassis code might be ~ EW)
88-91 = Forth gen civic & second gen CRX(USMD chassis code = ED, JDM chassis = EF)

DPFI = Dual Point Fuel Injection also know as Throttle Body Fuel Injection(TBFI/TBI)
MPFI = Multi Point Fuel Injection

SOHC = Single Over Head Cam
DOHC = Dual Over Head Cam
VTEC = Have someone else explain that to you, I dislike VTEC.

STOCK ENGINES: (USDM - 88-91 )

D15B6 = 1.5L SOHC engine, 88-91 CRX HF
D15B2 = 1.5L SOHC engine, 88-91 Civic DX/STD, CRX DX
D16A6 = 1.6L SOHC engine, 88-91 Civic/CRX Si

SWAPABLE engines

D16Z6/ or D16Y8 = 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine, 92-00 Civic = 127HP
B16A = 1.6L DOHC VTEC engine = 160HP
B18A/B = 1.8L DOHC, 90-00 LS integra engine = 130-140HP
B20B/Z = 2.0L DOHC, 97-00 CRV engine = 130~140 HP(underated)
B17A = 1.7L DOHC VTEC, 93-93 Integra GS-R = 160HP
B18C1 = 1.8L DOHC VTEC, 94+ Integra GS-R engine = 170HP
B18C5 = 1.8L DOHC VTEC, 94+ Integra Type R = 185~195HP

Oops, I was half-asleep when I posted that last night. Thanks for the corrections.
I guess I just wanted to push him in the right direction.

SpeedPhreak, cool list

I have a large info page in my tool box, that has all the info on chasis info, for all Honda/Acura platforms, updated too 2002. It's nice to have Dealership connections. When I get to my tool box I'll look for the chasis code on the 3rd gen civic-USDM/JDM. iight later.

Personally, for the money you spend on a B18C5 I would rather build an LS/VTEC (B18A/B block with a VTEC head) or just build a B18C1 (GSR motor). Unless you get a B18C5 for a steal you're pretty much buying a name (I have a Type R motor in my CRX), i'd rather have a fully built GSR motor for the same price that would spank a stock Type R motor powered CRX.
