EF, EG, HF, Si, SiR, CRV, LX, DX, EX and any others i may have left out?

Honda-Tech is all you need. Use the search feature and grab a coffee.

 

ok, well then in that case, i will end up asking pretty stupid questions, but ill be learning. im a college student, and i really want to learn more about my car. id like to buy a project crx to work on so that my daily crx isnt being "tested" on

 

Just ask your questions all in this one thread..Of course search first but if you cant find an answer just ask..

 

ok, thanks a lot. ill definitely be asking a lot of questions, so be ready!

 

what's the difference between SOHC and DOHC?

 

you can use google and http://www.howstuffworks.com for general questions about engines.

 

single overhead cam and dual overhead cam, sohc doesnt tend to make as much power as dohc

 

ok...if dx means deluxe, and si means sport injection...what does HF mean?

You have a lot of questions and have been here since 2004? Not to be mean, but where have you been?

 

I recently replaced my USDM D16 in my Si with a JDM ZC, so does this mean i have added horsepower? I see what the chart says, but I just wanted to check and see. Thanks.

 

Someone said that HF means like Holley fuel or something like that...it ACTUALLY means "Highway Friendly"...
