Carburettors
 

Does anyone know which type of carburettors were used on early/mid 90's civics?

Is there a good website that features these with details of jetting/tuning parts?

Thanks

I can't speak for anything before 92, but I know there is no civic 92 and up with a carb. EFI

what r u planning on doing? i really don't recommend trying to rebuild a jap carb.

RE: Carburettors
 

I am with Paul the Jap carbs are a pain. But they are fairly cheap to rebuild. I bought my rebuild kit from napa for 25. Napa had the only kit that was more than just the gaskets. I also ended up taking a couple of parts of an extra carb I had.
If you do it go slow. There should be an exploded veiw of your carb in the rebuild kit with every thing numbered. Use that picture. Follow the steps 1 through what ever. Because there are so many peices it helps to tape all the old parts on to a peice of paper, as you break down, and lable the peices with a pen using the numers given on the exploded veiw from the rebuild kit. Then put it back together in reverse order replacing with new stuff as you go.

My carb had a number on the bottom side, towards teh back (fire wall). I couldn't see the number until the carb was out. I think it was a four digit/alpha number?

Finally got round to doing the strip/clean/rebuild. Wasn't as bad as I feared and certainly the old gasket was well past its useful life.

There must be five or six vacuums which all appeared to be intact so the thing went back on and the engine runs (maybe a little better?), but I still have the cutting problem.

I'm now wondering what the small solenoid plunger does? I do not have wiring details so am not sure if its energised continuously or intermittently. I wondered if a bare wire shorting to earth maybe the problem. Any ideas?

hey people to answer your question from exsperience... i had a d15b4 engine 92 make 93 model with twin carb - rare bread but i had one....i just did a b16a2 swap Hence the "HAD" part

RE: Carburettors
 

When i had My Twin Carbs on my 93, i had them tuned - i bought new jets for it. it did increase the Hp. ran alot cleaner tooo - also made the car alot more lumpier...... but i had a d15b4 engine and i was limited on modifications

unfortunately with most carburated cars the only real thing you can do other htan increce the size of ur lines is add a second one.
