About to purchase a replacement fuel injection throttle body. Seller says his available part is for a 1.5L engine, but that it should be O.K. for a 1.6L. Is he correct?

not much on em but it sould bolt right up and work. 1.5 and a 1.6 ain't much bigger in size. 1.6 and 1.5 is the oil it holds.

I would check the outer diameter. Chances are if they are the same, the inner diameter is too.

By the way, the 1.6l/1.5l has nothing to do with the oil, but the volume displaced by the pistons in a revolution.

well why then does a 6.0 liter use 6.0 liters of oil, i know its its displacement its just the general oil it can contain. have a 2.3 litler that uses 2.3 liters of oil.

My 2.2 Ecotec takes 5.8 quarts of oil, and my 1.8 truck takes 6.

hmmm aw well i deal with chevy's mostly. i have a 267 4.4 liter v8 that well takes 4.4 liters of oil, just some do though, the oil pan holds that. hmmmm that reminds me, need new plugs and distributor points and wires. i've just dealt with chevys and olds, boy oh boy i wish those olds were still being made

I'm not really sure about 88/89 civics, but i know i can put 90/91 1.6 throttle body on my 90 DX 1.5. *shrug*

Thanx to all who responded to my plea. I found a Specs sheet that said all '89 Honda Civics had 1.5L engines. The CRX Si, however, had a 1.6L engine, and many books and web sites list the CRXs with Civics (why, I dunno).

So, I bought a 1.5L throttle body.

Thanx again,
Chuck
