TheE-series was a line of inline four-cylinderautomobile engines designed and built byHonda for use in their cars in the 1970s and 1980s. These engines were notable for the use ofCVCC technology, introduced in theED1 engine in the 1975 Civic, which met 1970semissions standards without using acatalytic converter.
The CVCCED1 was on theWard's 10 Best Engines of the 20th century list.
TheEA-series is a water-cooled 356 cc (21.7 cu in)inline two-cylinder engine replacing the N360's air-cooled 354 cc (21.6 cu in) engine. AnSOHC design with a timing belt (replacing the chain used in the N360 engine), the EA was first seen in the 1971Honda Life. This engine was derived from the air-cooled engine in theHonda CB450 and was adapted for water-cooled application. The displacement was reduced to be in compliance with Japanesekei car legislation that stipulated maximum engine displacement. Bore and stroke were 67 mm × 50.6 mm (2.64 in × 1.99 in). A version producing 30 PS (22 kW) at 8,000 rpm was installed in the Honda Life, while theHonda Z and the Honda Life Touring (introduced in May 1972) received a twin-carb model with 36 PS (26 kW) at a heady 9,000 rpm.[1]
The aluminium-block EB series was fitted to the first generation Honda Civic, although the cast-iron EB5 was installed in the short-lived Honda 145.
Applications:
76 PS (56 kW; 75 hp) at 5,500 rpm (1979 Civic Van)[2]
11.1 kg⋅m (109 N⋅m; 80 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm (1979 Civic Van)[2]
TheED series introduced theCVCC technology; it is otherwise the same as the contemporary EC engine. It displaced 1.5 L; 90.8 cu in (1,488 cc) and used anSOHC 12-valve design. Output with a 3 barrelcarburetor was 53 PS (39 kW; 52 hp) at 5000 rpm and 9.4 kg⋅m (92 N⋅m; 68 lb⋅ft) at 3000 rpm.
TheEE series applied theCVCC technology to the 1.2 L (1,237 cc; 75.5 cu in) and used anSOHC 12-valve design. It was replaced by the 1.3-liter EJ engine in 1978. The EE engine produces 63 PS (46 kW) at 5500 rpm and 9.5 kg⋅m (93 N⋅m; 69 lb⋅ft) at 3500 rpm.[3]
USAGE: 1976-1978Honda Accord CVCC, US market automobiles.[4]
TheEG displaced 1.6 L; 97.5 cu in (1,598 cc) and was anSOHC 8-valve engine with a 2 barrelcarburetor. Output was 69 PS (51 kW; 68 hp) at 5000 rpm and 11.7 kg⋅m (115 N⋅m; 85 lb⋅ft) at 3000 rpm.

The water-cooledSOHC two-cylinderEH was first seen installed in the first generationHonda Acty truck introduced in July 1977, and later in the 1985Honda Today. It was based on one bank of cylinders from thehorizontally opposed four used on theHonda Gold Wing GL1000 motorcycle, with which it shared the 72 mm (2.83 in) bore. The horsepower rating of the 545 cc (33.3 cu in) 72 mm × 67 mm (2.83 in × 2.64 in) engine was 28 PS (21 kW) at 5,500 rpm, and 4.2 kg⋅m (41 N⋅m; 30 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm. When installed in the Today, max power was raised to 31 PS (23 kW) at the same revs, and torque at 4.4 kg⋅m (43 N⋅m; 32 lb⋅ft), with a compression ratio of 9.5:1.[5]
Applications:
The EK[6] was an SOHC 12-valve (CVCC) engine, displacing 1.8 L (1,751 cc). Output varied (see below) as the engine itself was refined. This was the last CVCC configuration engine manufactured by Honda.
USAGE:
1979-1983 Honda Accord CVCC (US market)
1979-1982 Honda Prelude CVCC (US market)
1981-1983 Honda Accord/Vigor (JDM)[4]
EK9 is not related to the EK engine; EK is also the chassis code for several versions of thesixth generation Honda Civic. EK9 is the chassis code for 1997-2000 Honda Civic Type R.
TheEL displaced 1.6 L; 97.8 cu in (1,602 cc) and was anSOHC eight-valve engine with a two-barrelcarburetor. Output in North American configuration is 79 PS (58 kW; 78 hp) at 5,000 rpm and 12.8 kg⋅m (126 N⋅m; 93 lb⋅ft) at 3,000 rpm.
TheEN displaced 1.3 L; 81.5 cu in (1,335 cc). It had a single overhead cam and eight-valve head, and was fitted to Civics in all markets aside from the United States domestic market. In Europe it also found a home in the Honda Ballade-based Triumph Acclaim. Both block and head are from aluminium.
The EP was an SOHC 12-valve (CVCC) engine, displacing 1.6 L (1,601 cc). It was essentially an EL 1.6 L block with an EK 1.8 L cylinder head.
The long-strokeER four-cylinder engine has five crankshaft bearings and an overhead camshaft, driven by a cogged belt.
The lower powered engines in the commercial "City Pro" series had a lower compression, adistributor rather than the distributorless coil pack setup found in the passenger cars, and a manualchoke. JIS outputs below aregross figures, while DIN outputs are net.

Carburetor versions used either a single or 2bbl downdraft Keihin. The turbocharger in theTurbo and Turbo II was developed together withIHI, the Turbo II being equipped with an intercooler and a computer-controlled wastegate.[7]

TheES displaced 1.8 L; 111.6 cu in (1,829 cc). All ES engines were SOHC12-valve engines. The ES1 used dual sidedraft carburetors to produce 102 PS (75 kW; 101 hp) at 5500 rpm and 14.4 kg⋅m (141 N⋅m; 104 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm. The ES2 replaced this with a standard 3 barrel carburetor for 87 PS (64 kW; 86 hp) at 5800 rpm and 13.7 kg⋅m (134 N⋅m; 99 lb⋅ft) at 3500 rpm. Finally, the ES3 usedPGM-FI for 102 PS (75 kW; 101 hp) at 5800 rpm and 14.9 kg⋅m (146 N⋅m; 108 lb⋅ft) at 2500 rpm.
TheET displaced 1.8 L; 111.6 cu in (1,829 cc) and was an SOHC 12-valve engine. ET1 had a single, downdraft carb with 4-1 exhaust manifold. The ET2 with dual sidedraft carburetors and 4-2-1 exhaust manifold produced 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 14.4 kg⋅m (141 N⋅m; 104 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm. JDM versions included a triple-barrel carburetted version for the Accord (110 PS or 81 kW or 108 hp at 5,800 rpm) and one with Honda PGM-FI which produced 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) at 5,800 rpm.[12]
TheEV displaced 1.3 L; 81.9 cu in (1,342 cc) 74mm bore, 78mm stroke and was an SOHC 12-valve design. 3 barrelcarburetors produced 61 PS (45 kW; 60 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 10.1 kg⋅m (99 N⋅m; 73 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm for the US market. The JDM version, featuring 12 valves and auxiliary CVCC valves, produced 80 PS (59 kW; 79 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 11.3 kg⋅m (111 N⋅m; 82 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm. It was available in all bodystyles of the third generation Honda Civic.[13]
The final E-family engine was theEW, presented along with the all new third generation Honda Civic in September 1983. Displacing 1.5 L; 90.8 cu in (1,488 cc), the EWs were SOHC 12-valve engines. Early 3 barrel EW1s produced from 58 to 76 hp (43 to 57 kW) and 11 to 11.6 kg⋅m (108 to 114 N⋅m; 80 to 84 lb⋅ft). Thefuel injected EW3 and EW4 produced 92 PS (68 kW; 91 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 12.8 kg⋅m (126 N⋅m; 93 lb⋅ft) at 4,500 rpm. The "EW" name was replaced by theHonda D15 series, with the EW (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) renamed to D15A (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) in 1987. It also received a new engine stamp placement on the front of the engine like the "modern D series" (1988+).
TheZA1 andZA2 are anomalously named, but closely related to the 1.3-litre EV. With a shorter stroke but the same bore 74 mm × 69 mm (2.91 in × 2.72 in), this 1.2 L; 72.4 cu in (1,187 cc) shared most of the EV's characteristics. It was only sold in the third generation Civic in European and various smaller markets where the taxation structure suited this version. The high octane version produces 62 PS (46 kW; 61 hp) at 6000 rpm and 9.0 kg⋅m (88 N⋅m; 65 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm.[14] There was also a low-octane model, producing 55 PS (40 kW; 54 hp) at 6000 rpm.
