Guest that1chrisguy Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 okay okay, this seems dumb, but i saw a 1988 hb DX and i wanted to know the following; power steering? yes or no? carburated or injection? and how is SOHC compared to DOHC? thanks guys my personal site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0verb00st Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 since i'm not familiar with the civics of the late 80's all i can answer is the last question. DOHC is more efficient then SOHC, so it will produce more power in an engine with the same displacent as the SOHC. for example the 1992 mazda mx6 had a 2.2l SOHC engine producing 93 hp. in 1993 the base engine became a 2.0l DOHC engine producing 118 hp. the smaller DOHC engine was much more efficient. i'm sure ZCREX will be here soon and he'll be able to answer the other questions.

1990civicsiguye Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 ok i know im new but to answer his question right... the answer is that in 1988 all of the hatchs were fuel injected the real difference was the injectors them selves.... the cx and the dx both had two injectors where the si had four.... more fuel more speed also the compression on a dx and cx were a little higher 10:1 where the si is 9:1 other than that you got the right year for the fouth gen hatch... they gained about 250 lbs every year i always get a kick out of that fact... which is about 700 lbs over the gen period.... have a good day and i hoped i helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
