I've got a '96 (EK) 1.4 sohc civic. Im doing a h22a swap from a prelude and need to find some info about my civics wiring and ecu.

I cant find any info about it but I guess thats not helped by me not knowing what its called. You have your b16, d16, d15 and h22 etc but whats my civic called?

Ive found some details on an old 1.4 civic but mines the EK model.

Im sure if I knew what it was called I could get the info I need from the search function and the rest of the web.

Im not even sure if you have it in the U.S. as im from England.

Please help

 

what up mate...

the model is called EJ9....

i also have a d14 but mine is turbo'd

 

Its not an EK its an EJ?

Whats the difference between the two?

I tried to send you a message but im not allowed as im a noob.

 

What do you call a '96 (EK) 1.4 sohc civic?

I call it Slow!

Wow, way to offer a helping hand, smartass!

 

Im sorry, but i just dont understand why you would turbo a d14..when you could invest in something else just for a little bit more $ and turbo that....but w/e

Not everyone is made of money. It's a cheaper alternative to get more horsepower, quicker.

 

do a swap...cost as much as a turbo, but gotta tune the thing though!!

thats pretty damn weak for that much boost..

Actually, all things considered, it's really not. Sounds like you're just a jackass

A anorexic hampster?

 

if a d14 is a destroked d16 then that thing should be able to rev to 9k with valve springs! LOL!!

anyways bro we dont have a 1.4 liter engine either in canada.

your best bet is to toss in a obd2 to obd1 conversion harness and an obd1 computer thats chipped to run an h22 and see what happens! lol!

Actually, I think you do. When I bought my car the guy said it had a 1.4 in it and that he swapped a 1.5 in it. And my car is from honda of canada, of course he might of been wrong.

 

You'll prolly need the good part of an entire clip. You'll also need engine mounts from Hasport.

Well if you've got a hatch it's most likely an EK, but I could be wrong, I'm too lazy to check at this hour of the night.

I have a 1.4 EK auto, it's slow as hell but it makes a great beater

Damn that this is beastly for tiny 1.4 liter. Is that on stock block?

 

Last time I checked all the civics 96-00 (excl. SI) were 1.6L single cams. EX (VTEC), DX-LX-CX(hatch) all non-vtec, and the HX (eVTEC). In fact the civic has never had a 1.4L engine in it's life time. Even the 1975 Civic CVCC had a 1.5L engine.

 

yeah but in europe they are different. Gas is little bit more expensive, and you don't drive in the city as much so 1.4 is okay.

 

What does gas have to do with it? Honda never produced a 1.4L GAS POWERED civic here in the US or anywhere else. The only way this 1.4L could be true is if it is a diesel power plant, and in that case my knowledge ceases. Diesel was never introduced here in the US as far as civs are concerned.

 

i've have seen ppl say they have 1.4l honda motors on more than one occasion, all being from european countries... are you sure you're knowledge is correct?

Yeah....weak for a 1.4 with one cam and no vtec. &lt;sarcasm&gt;

You're a ****** moron.

 

220hp from a 1.4?
lol that weak? get real

whats teh stock hp on a 1.4? like 60hp?
and 14psi to 220.. well thats almost 3x the amount of power off the stock engine.. id hate to break the ***** of whoever said thats weak, but hp gains at certain psi's arent standard... 1 psi doesnt get you a set amount of hp between engines... nore does 2.. or 3.. or 5 or 10.. its a %...

if set psi was true, then a 600hp stock engine running 14psi boost, would be ****.. where as a 40hp engine at 14psi would be an engineering masterpeice

hey genius why dont u read up a bit more and stop throwing out wrong information...the 96 civic 1.4l is an ej9 and comes with a 1.4l gas powered engine rated at about 90 hp why dont u take a look at this page it is in german u may need to translate.

http://www.maxrev.de/ftopic2453.htm

yea and honda has made in the past and recently made new a 1.4l petrol powered car due to the gas prices in europe that engine gets about 45mpg not sure about the new 1
