i know that i might get flamed for this but i was just wondering about all the different honda engines. i know the nissan engines and i understand them but i dont know honda engines. what i wanna know are the different engine types (like the LS and GSR engines) and their displacement and what car the engines come from.

 

that is gonna be alot of info.

i know my rs,gs,ls. has the b18b1 1.8l 142bhp 6800rpm redline.

 

Me too... simply because I just got rid of the 240 and have no idea half the shit people are asking me about my car all I know its 1.6 SOHC VTEC... In my 93 DX coupe...

 

b18b1 does the 18 stand for the displacement? does it break down like nissan engines do? ka24e ka=engine model 24=2.4 liter e= SOHC

theres all you need

 

it does break down sorta like that nvrstock... for examble

D16z6 (d being the engine series) (16 being the 1.6 liter size) (z6 being the certain model)

 

so where does VTEC come into play how do you know what has VTEC and what doesnt?

 

i have a gsr...my engine is b18c1...type r is b18c5

 

there isnt really a way to tell from just looking at the engine code. you have to basically memorize what certain engines come equiped with it and which dont. also in the case of vtec conversion engines, you need to be able to pick out the heads...it doesnt take long to learn what they look like.

 

especially on the bseries engines. the vtec heads cant be mistaken.
