Honda E engine

The Honda E engine is the E-series, a line of inline four-cylinder automobile engines that Honda designed and built for its cars in the 1970s and 1980s, together with a smaller water-cooled inline two-cylinder variant. The series is best known for CVCC technology, introduced in the ED1 engine of the 1975 Civic, which met the emissions standards of the 1970s without a catalytic converter; the CVCC ED1 was named on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list of the 20th century. The family began with the EA, a 356 cc inline two-cylinder first seen in the 1971 Honda Life, and continued with the aluminium-block EB fitted to the first generation Civic, the 1.5 L EC, the CVCC-equipped ED and EE, and the 1.6 L EF and EG used in the Accord. The EH two-cylinder, derived from one bank of the Gold Wing GL1000 flat four, powered the first generation Acty truck from 1977 and the 1985 Today.
