SOHC D16 350HP Factory Engine

D16 Turbo Engines - Reasons Why the Car is Amazing

The EF Civic was made from 1988-1991, which was really the first generation of Civics where people started to tune.  They came with a D16 engine or you might find one with a B16 in it, which was the top model Civic.  The EF Civic is tunable and it also has been know to be able to reach over 500 hp with stock sleeves on the engine.  Before we get into those good features, lets look at the money savings.
With an EF Civic, your insurance should be some of the cheapest on the market.  This is mostly due to the high quantity of cheap parts available for it, just in case something happens.  With this car, your gas mileage  should be the highest out of any car you've ever had, simply because it is such a light car.
Being safe is always a number one priority in cars.  With the Civic EF model, you are able to see almost a clear 360 degree view of everything around you.  Almost the entire mid-section of the car is windows, giving the best visibility options in the older model cars.  It also has some good seats, along with strong seat belts.  The entire car has a wide wheel base for being such a short car.  This feature adds to the strength and solidness of the entire car.
If you are looking to tune a Civic EF, their motors have a wide selection of parts available in the car market.  Since they are so old, many have been scrapped and parts are being sold all over major sites like eBay and Craig's List.  The stock engines that come in the Civic EF are very strong and sturdy engines.  Many have been known to get as high as 250,000 miles+ on the engine without having major mechanical issues.  This feature is attracting to many Civic tuners, as they can add more modifications without the engine being as affected as much as an engine more prone to break down would be.
Some people who like to turbo their D16 engines don't even need to change their original sleeves or anything!  However, there are others who like to swap out motors, like the guy from AutoMotionCE did with his 1990 Turbo Civic EF when he went from the D15 to the D16ZC and made the D16 turbo.Stock D16 engine can handle 350hp on wheel.
