I have a '90 Civic DX, with a 16-valve engine... but from the sounds of it, isn't it supposed to have only a 12- valve? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

16 valve is right.

 

Well thats good to hear... at least I have the gutsier engine then some of the other models. Thnx for the help!

 

Hmm if you look at my first post, which I grabbed off of http://www.evotuners.com/hondafaq.htm it said that these model years had either 12 or 16... only previous experience I have had was with our Accord, so I am taking your word for any info.

 

while the d15b2 is good enough to bomb around in its hardly gutsy...

 

Haha true... sorry I am still enjoying my first civic, but I am glad that it doesn't have the 12- valve, because that is a bit to slow for a car. I haven't ever felt like I don't have enough power with this.
