Honda’s J-series can be called the crown jewel of the company’s motors. J32 – V-shaped in its layout, absolutely uncharacteristic for Honda. At the same time, they are a real center of concentration of all kinds of technologies and innovations. The J32 engine line was originally intended only for expensive cars or for top versions of the most promising (popular) models. Continue reading Engine Honda J32A

Engine Honda J37A
Back in 2007, the legendary J37 engine was released specifically for Acura cars. At the heart of the new engine was the J35, which performed well on the early larger Acura and Honda models from 1999 onwards. Both engines are united by V-blocks with a height of 235mm with six cylinders. Unlike the J35, which had a crankshaft with a piston stroke of 93mm, in the J37 this parameter was already equal to 96mm. The diameter of the cylinders increased by one millimeter, and became equal to 90mm. The connecting rods have been reduced from 158.5mm up to 157mm. The cylinder head on the J37 was single-shaft and with a variable valve timing and VTEC valve lift. Continue reading Engine Honda J37A

In addition, lightweight connecting rods with a length of 158.5 mm were present in the design. Continue reading Engine Honda J35A
Engine Honda B18C / B18B
It was in the engines of this series that the VTEC system was first used. With a 1.8-liter engine, the story was slightly different. Honda decided to experiment with a B-motor without VTEC. This is how the B18B engine appeared, which was of a larger volume (correspondingly with a better start), but absolutely normal when reaching the VTEC zone. Continue reading Engine Honda B18C / B18B
Engine Honda D17A
The D17A engine was designed specifically for “heavy” vehicles and was used on two models – the Honda Civic EU-ES and the Honda Srteam. The results can be called positive at a stretch. And it would be even more accurate to call this engine “disposable” – despite the overall reliability of the design, the unit has become more capricious, demanding on the quality of spare parts and the level of car services.

Thrust half rings are installed in the 4th support. Continue reading Engine Honda K24A (Z, Y, W)
Engine Honda R20A
This two-liter unit is nothing more than an oversized R18A. The increase in volume from 1.8 liters to 2.0 was achieved thanks to a long-stroke crankshaft. The changes also affected the intake manifold, balancing shafts were installed on the motor. Continue reading Engine Honda R20A
