eg4 = GLi/GL (gli = efi 1.5L | gl = dual carb 1.5L)
eg3 = breeze (carb 1.3L)

So, if you want an EG with vtec, your looking for eg5 vti model.

EG4 also had the breeze model with the single carbie 1.5L

^^ Yup thanks, my mate had that too, thought it was GL, but was a late model 94 breeze

Ok i confused myself completely here..

I was correct the first time quoting D16a8, and it is a twincam engine with vtec-e. You can audibly hear the "vtec" kick in at 5000 rpm..

Very confused now

NO

it does NOT have vtec

ZZZZZ lol rebound u are lost kient too lol :P

just read my post probably, it is all correct there!!!

D16Y1 = EG VTEC SOHC
D16Y8 = EJ8 VTEC SOHC

D16A8 = DOHC NO VTEC

EG only comes DOHC VTEC is EG6, Which you can't get here in Australia unless it was privately imported!

And wth is vtec-e lol. You can't audibly hear any vtec in a d16a8, its probably just the POD filter your hearing. (Had someone else say they swore on there moms life there si sedan was vtec and you could hear it, and when i went to look, no vtec, and when driving, it was just a pod filter zzz)

lol thread revival

I'm just going to leave it as is then.. D16a8 twin cam no vtec.

Interesting question - do the numbers have any actual reference to the cars engine or the like? Ie the BMW 318i has a 1.8litre motor. Now I know the ek9 doesnt have a 1.9 litre engine, but is it meant to refer to anything else?

no, the numbers are just the trim level

VIN: JHM-ED6-3-3-00-S-XXXXXX is broken down as follows:

JHM is obviously the Honda Motor Co. of Japan
"ED6" is the model variant, so ED6 is a 1500 Hatchback; there were ten variants altogether, from ED1 to ED7 and EC7 to EC9
"3" is the body shape and the transmission type, so this is a 5 speed manual with 2 doors. If its a "4" then it's an auto; a "5" is a 5 speed manual sedan and "6" is a 4 speed auto sedan
"3" is the most important number as this tells you the level of trim. Honda call it the "vehicle grade", as follows -

"2" is a DX (EC7, EC8, ED1, ED3, ED5, ED6 are all KQ) or a GL (EC9, ED2, ED3, ED6 are all KY)
"3" is a GL (ED3 and ED6 are KQ) or EX (ED3 is a KY)
"6" is a 1.6i (ED4 and ED7)
"7" is a 1.6i -16 (ED7)

"0" is a fixed Honda code
"0" tells you the year model (but not necessarily the manufacturing date; that is on a separate tag on the passenger side radiator support)
"S" means the car was built at Honda's Suzuka plant

And inside the production line:

"XXXXXX" are the last six digits and the car's serial number.
