Well...first off, if you have a 4speed you dont have DX, it is a STD


NKG sparkplugs were the best in my opinion, the give better combustion then the bosch and even helped my car pass smog...

On the wires, i think you will be fine with oem, the ones you posted, or what ever.

Im running Duralast (auto zone brand) spark plug wires and I have never had a problem with them. I could just be lucky though.

good luck!

 

its a dx it says dx on the hatch in the corner.

 

The DX did not come with a four speed transmission, it came with a 5 speed.


you can take a look at your engine code



If it says D15B1 its a STD if it say D15B2 its a DX

 

i tryed looking for that i couldnt find it. is there a better pic

 

i was looking at this:

http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/sp...mp;model=Civic

and under valve/valve configuration it says 16/dohc for the hatchback and 12/sohc for the dx.
so my car only has 70 hp? is that to the ground or is it like 60 to the ground?

oh i forgot to mention on the top of my engine it says 16 valve so i guess it aint a dx. then y does it say that on my hatch?

 

could sum1 post the engine for 1989 hb dx and std so i could show the engine i have. i would take a pic but i dont have the camera right now

 

The engines are going to look identical.


here is a picture of my old engine. I have the Std




one question for you though...do you have an automatic or a manual transmission, becuase if you have an automatic then you do have a dx, i just figured those are rare and you had a manual transmission.

 

yea it looks like that. 4 speed manual

 

i cant find the d 15 or the side where is it? is it under near the distributor?

 

its right where the transmission meets the block...it is probably covered in grease since your car is going on 20 years old. try looking for a flat square looking thing, ill take a picture when i get home.
