I have a 1990 si hatch here from united states, is it ef8 or ef9, or what?

 

i think ef8's were crx's and ef9's are the hatchbacks..im kinda sure.

 

If you had your car imported from Japan and it was a Sir HB then it would be a EF9 but you didn't. So your car is just a ED6(USDM Si HB).

 

ya its not an ef8 or ef9....

 

EF6 ( CRX ) - SOHC 1.5L
EF7 ( CRX ) - DOHC 1.6L NON VTEC
EF8 ( CRX ) - DOHC 1.6L VTEC
EF3 ( CIVIC HATCH ) - DOHC 1.6L NON VTEC
EF9 ( CIVIC HATCH ) - DOHC 1.6L VTEC
EF2 ( CIVIC SEDAN ) - SOHC 1.5L

Have Fun.

You forgot ED8 = 88-91 CRX 1.5 DX / CRX 1.5 HF (USDM)

 

I thought "EF's" were only from Japan (imported) and our USDM's are ED's. I was told to look at your VIN # and number 4-6 is what you would refer your car to being. Like mines is a ED6. People refer to their cars as EF's when they put something JDM on it or whatever.

 

You're right, EF's were JDM on USDM the VIN # tells it all

 

EF2 ( CIVIC SEDAN ) - SOHC 1.5L

Iv'e only seen them with a DOHC ZC.

 

I believe the ED's are USDM and the EF's Are JDM

EF8 being the Crx SIR
EF9 The Hatch SIR

Blah Blah Blah

 

I can't believe that nobody has posted the right chassis code yet.
NORTH AMERICAN chassis codes:

Civic 3dr 1.5L (DX, STD) - ED6
Civic 3dr 1.6L (Si) - ED7
CRX 1.5L (DX, HF) - ED8
CRX 1.6L (Si) - ED9

SIhatch90, you have an ED7!

Check your VINs people!!!

Thank you Targa250R, I knew the CRX Si was an ED9 and not ED7, you just helped to show me that I wasn't the only one.

And to expand on that:

Civic 4dr 1.5L (DX, LX) - ED3
Civic 4dr 1.6L (EX) - ED4
Civic 3dr 1.5L (DX, STD) - ED6
Civic 3dr 1.6L (Si) - ED7
CRX 1.5L (DX, HF) - ED8
CRX 1.6L (Si) - ED9
Civic 5dr 1.5L (2WD) - EE2
Civic 5dr 1.6L (4WD) - EE4

Those are all of the 4th-generation Civics sold in North America.

Why do we even use chassis codes? They just confuse everyone. What's wrong with "G4 Si" instead of "ED7?"

I love how EF's are EF's and USDM CRX's/Hatches/Sedans are "just civics"

I love my ED!

 

i just commonly refer to the hatches as ef's and crx's as ef8's although i know theyre the japanese model codes. im just used to it is all. as for giving the technically correct information... yeah i was wrong. dont wanna get anyone started off on the wrong foot here. my bad

 

thanks targa
