abbreviations. EG, Bxx, EKx etc i'm reading the posts and am confused as to what this all means.

I'm bout to pick up a 97 Civic HB for a daily and getting rid of my 92 VW 2.0l 16V GTi might do a few mods to the Civic but nothing too crazy(famous last words) but anyway, please educate me on these things.

Thanks!

 

EG is the JDM tag for a 5th gen hatchback
EK " " " " " " 6th " "
Bxx....you're probably referring to engine codes...b16/b18/b20...(b-series 1.6L, 1.8L, 2.0L, respectively)...but keep reading, you'll catch on.
Welcome to HT.

 

welcome man,

 

So my soon to be 97 hb will be an EK6th gen with a b16 motor. ok getting it.

Thanks for the welcome. man this relearning process is going to be interesting...ask me bout audi's and vw's and i know

 

Welcome... your SN looks familiar.

 

EG6 is the jdm (Japanese Domestic Market) for 92-95 body style hatchbacks.
EH2 is the USDM (United States Domestic Market) for 92-95 hatchbacks
EK9 is the JDM ac. for 96-00 hatchbacks
DC2 is the body designation for Integra's
DC5 is the body desigation for the new RSX (Integra in Japan)
B16A: 1.6 dohc vtec motor
B18B: 1.8 non vtec dohc motor
B18C: 1.8 vtec dohc motor in Japan. It could be a spec R (ITR which is Integra Type R)
B18C1: 1.8 vtec dohc motor found in the GSR
B18C5: 1.8 vtec dohc motor found in the ITR
H22A: 2.2 vtec dohc motor found in the prelude.


Okay my head hhurts. Just do a search (archived) on any acronym you aren't familiar with.

 

Your hatchback will have the D16 motor stock, unless its already been swappedto B16.

 

Thanks apexiitr got it straight now...and you're right 96coupe it will be a D16 as it is bonestock and unmolested all the molesting will be done by me!

EG is also what people call 92-95 hatches in the states, when they really aren't truely EG's.

The "S" and "VTEC" trim del sols in the states are true EG's though, and so are some 92-95 4 doors.
codes like EG2, EK9, EH2, EM1 can all be found in your vin # i.e.
1HG"EM1"151YL004614
1HG"EG8"547RL033571

not quite as simple as that but thats the general idea. for example the EK4 is a 6th generation SiR and the EK9 is the CTR. but ususally when people refer to cars they say EG or DC or whatever. there is a lot of variations for specific models. also some of those are the japanese chassis codes, the amercan versions varry slightly. oh and u forgot one - DA which is the older integra . good info though

 

dam! dont confuse me even more let's just keep it stupid simple for me...

 

That's why I listed most of the common acronyms thrown around here. He can do a search on stuff he has never seen bfore to get the meaning.

I have love for the EJ I just never listed it because I didn't want to confuse the guy. And I know itsn ot that simple but I am not gonna sit here and list every single acronym we throw around. Some times i swear it should have its own language.

Totally agree on that one. To confusing to me to & I still don't have it straight yet.

 

You could also be talking about preludes....bb6 is a 5 gen prelude, bb2 is 4th...not that preludes matter or anything =P

 

Like I said it should be dubbed the Honda language.
