If you need to modify your Honda Civic to enhance its performance or you're just looking for an inexpensive Honda civic complete engine, eBay can help you get a good deal.
Types of Honda Civic engines for sale
Despite lots of variations in engines, here are three well-known Honda Civic engines for sale in the United States:
- B-Series Engines - These are inline four-cylinder DOHC engines produced by Honda in 1989. In the United States, they are used by Honda Civic 1999 and 2000 models. The 1996 models of Civic VTi also used B-Series engines. Outside the United States, these were the primary engines in Honda Civic in the 1990s.
- D-Series Engines - In the 1990s, most Honda Civic models in the United States were equipped with a D-Series four-cylinder engine. These were either DOHC, SOHC, or VTEC. Most VTEC engine variations were only available in vehicles manufactured outside the United States. VTEC D-Series is also an engine variation used in VTEC models.
- iVTEC K-Series - When the seventh generation of Honda was introduced in 2000, Honda Civic was upgraded to the compact car segment. The iVTEC K-Series engine is equipped with DOHC valve trains and roller rockers to reduce friction. This is also the baseline Honda Civic motor for newer models produced after 2006. There are some exceptions to this rule as 2006 variants of Honda Civic mainly used iVTEC R-Series while certain 2016 models used DOHC VTC Turbo engines.
What is the relative HP of newer Honda Civic engines?
Starting from the fifth-generation Honda Civic in 1990, most Honda Civics used B-Series and D-Series that were known for their efficiency instead of HP. However, Civic fitted with VTEC could generate more than 8000 rpm, which was significant for a car of its size.
In the sixth generation cars of the 1990s, the horsepower in Honda Civic motors increased substantially, reaching 185 HP compared to a maximum of 125 HP in the previous generation. Some of these engines were known to produce 8,400 rpm. The upgraded engines between 2000 and 2005 produced 200 HP, whereas newer models of Honda Civic such as Civic Type R can generate almost 310 HP using a turbocharged K20C1 engine.
What are Honda Civic engine performance parts?
When shopping for new and used complete Honda Civic engines, you may come across engine performance parts or performance engine assemblies. These are parts or complete engine bodies that car enthusiasts use for improving the car's performance. Honda Civic engines are known as some of the most versatile engines in the world that can accommodate a variety of performance parts.
