Maybe only the Si's got multi-port. Elle, does your car have single-port or multi-port? -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Maybe only the > Si's got multi-port. Elle, does your car have single-port or multi-port? Do you mean does my 1991 Civic LX have an "essentially throttle body system" (and so is single port?) or a fuel rail (and so is multiport?)? You're over my head here. I know my Civic has a dual-point fuel injection system, which means it is, according to Chilton's, "essentially a throttle body system." It has a main injector and an auxiliary injector in the throttle body. My Chilton's for 1985-1995 Civics otherwise isn't too terribly clear on this. It implies (from drawings and the text) for 1985-1995 Civics: Dual-Point FI was used from 1988-1991. Multi-Point FI was used from 1985-1987 and then again from 1992 to 1995. Then it seems to ignore the Si engines. So I don't know where the SIs fit in here, even after looking at their throttle bodies and comparing them to my 91 Civic's. Autozone seems a bit more clear, differentiating the fuel injection designs according to engine size: 1.5 liter vs. 1.6 liter. But like I said, I'm out of my league on this. Just posting at your request and to try to learn more. |

Two injectors in the throttle body instead of one in each intake manifold runner. > > My Chilton's for 1985-1995 Civics otherwise isn't too terribly clear > on this.

Back then only high price-point cars got multi-port FI, like the Toyota MR2 and Honda CRX. I have the Helm manual for the '88 Civic CRX. Its D16 engine had multi-port. > and then again from 1992 to > 1995. Looks like multi-port was across-the-board starting in 1992, probably on account of emissions laws. > > Then it seems to ignore the Si engines.

Each intake runner has an injector which looks a bit like a tiny spark plug.

Gonna have to do some more checking then. Thanks. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

That is surely a 1988 CRX Si, with a 1.6 Liter engine. From www.slhonda online parts site, the Si appears to use multi-port. By contrast, the 1988 CRX DX is a 1.5 Liter engine (D15 engine code) uses the "single port" (two injectors in the throttle body) design. So again, I think my "Civic/CRX/Del Sol Chilton's is not quite treating the Sis. (Is there a Chilton's just for the CRX Si circa 1985-1995?) > > and then again from 1992 to > > 1995. > > > > Looks like multi-port was across-the-board starting in 1992, probably on > account of emissions laws. > > > > > > Then it seems to ignore the Si engines.

I can't find a drawing of the rail at Majestic for the multi-port engines. Not sure what category to check (and I've checked a few). > > Autozone seems a bit more clear, differentiating the fuel injection > > designs according to engine size: 1.5 liter vs. 1.6 liter. > > > > Gonna have to do some more checking then. Thanks. It's been an education, so likewise. Note for the archives: I for one am talking strictly about United States Hondas in this thread. There does seem to be some variation in the fuel injector designs available outside the U.S. |
