[panaroL]

Hi all,

Im new here.
Wondering if anyone could provid edetailed info of the difference between the various HondaCivic models [EF, EG, EJ, EK, ES....etc]. is the difference based on the body type only? cuz the engines hv their own codes.
Im planning to buy a 2nd hand honda civic 1.6 97 vtec soon. :_:

Those you mentioned is chasis code from different generations.

Take EK for example, you will find

EK2
EK3
EK4
EK5
EK8
EK9

These are codes to differentciate the EK in different engines.

For instance EK3 is D15b, 1500 cc and it can be categorized as different trim levels as well according to its equipment and specification as

ML
Vi-RS
Vi
Mi
ML

There are more for other models so do a search from search engine and you should find out more.

For local 6G civic the code is

EJ6 - year 1996
EJ7 - year 1997
and so on

There isn't much difference for local EJ coz we only have vtec and nonvtec engine, D16, MT and AT. That's it. There ain't got trim level.

Tq guys
Q, how come most of em are A/T. is it bcuz of ltd numbers of manual cars of this model were brought into msia. how much wud a conversion kit cost eh. n the fuel consumption difference between auto n manual for this model, is it large, or isit only negligible.
ouh, another Q, since both is 6th gen civic, wats d diffrence btween these two, EJ n EK. from my untrained eyes they look d same ja hee
[i hope i dun blow my bank account on this ~:]

Locally assembled EJ/SO4 manual only available with non-vtec engine.

The cars were not brought into msia - they are locally assembled. Unless you are referring to a small number of re-cond units/personal imports...

Hard to differentiate std EJ & EK (import), since most of this model couldn't get away without being 'rojak'-ed by it's owner. For pre-FL car, my clue is the colour of the glass & the 2 tabs that hold the bottom part of rear plate number.. and, in some of the rare std car case, the Ferio badge. May be there are other ways to differentiate them..

 

[Hikaru]

Indeed, there are many ways to differentiate a Japanese EK and a stock local EJ if you observe closely but I don't see the point to list it down here.

Since there are many owners after for JDM appearance now, the best way is look at the chasis which will indicate EJ6, EJ7, EJ8...... etc

Looks like a local D16. You can always check the engine code at the block then you will know what engine it is. Go get yourself some books or do a search on the net then you will know more. For SOHC alone, there have been many generations developed with different spec and you can't simply told from a picture like that.

 

[civic18c]

the simply to know doch big or small v just look at valve cover, the big v at valve cover wrote doch VTEC and small v DOCH vtec and all single cam vtec engine is small vtec that i'm not mistaken.

civic18c,

wrong la,

single cam vtec engine is NOT the so-called small vtec.

small vtec means the 1st generation of B16A engine. production from 1989 to 1991. n it's a DOHC vtec.
