Honda E engine
The E-series was a line of inline 4-cylinder automobile engines designed and built by Honda for use in their cars in the 1970s and 1980s. These engines were notable for the use of CVCC technology, introduced in the ED1 engine in the 1975 Civic, which met 1970s emissions standards without using a catalytic converter.
The CVCC ED1 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines of the 20th century list.
EA
The EA-series is a water-cooled inline two-cylinder engine replacing the N360's air-cooled engine. An SOHC design with a timing belt, the EA was first seen in the 1971 Honda Life. This engine was derived from the air-cooled engine in the Honda CB450 and was adapted for water-cooled application. The displacement was reduced to be in compliance with Japanese kei car legislation that stipulated maximum engine displacement. Bore and stroke were. A version producing at 8,000 rpm was installed in the Honda Life, while the Honda Z and the Honda Life Touring received a twin-carb model with at a heady 9,000 rpm.- 1971.06-1974 Honda Life

EH
The water-cooled SOHC two-cylinder EH was first seen installed in the first generation Honda Acty truck introduced in July 1977, and later in the 1985 Honda Today. It was based on one bank of cylinders from the horizontally opposed four used on the Honda Gold Wing GL1000 motorcycle, with which it shared the bore. The horsepower rating of the engine was at 5,500 rpm, and at 4,000 rpm. When installed in the Today, max power was raised to at the same revs, and torque at, with a compression ratio of 9.5:1.Applications:

ER
- sold as a 12-valve CVCC-II in Japan and as a simple eight-valve unit in Europe and Asia,
- was only used in the AA/VF/FA series City/Jazz from 1981 until 1986.
- It was available as a normally aspirated carburated version or with Honda's own PGM-FI fuel injection as one of a very few turbocharged engines built by Honda.
- The Japanese market CVCC engine was also known as COMBAX, an acronym of COMpact Blazing-combustion AXiom. The E-series were tuned for economy, with higher gearing and later on with computer-controlled variable lean burn.
- As of March 1985, the naturally aspirated ER engines gained composite conrods, lighter and stronger these helped further reduce fuel consumption.
Carburetor versions used either a single or 2bbl downdraft Keihin. The turbocharger in the Turbo and Turbo II was developed together with IHI, the Turbo II being equipped with an intercooler and a computer-controlled wastegate.

EV
The final E-family engine was the EW, presented along with the all new third generation Honda Civic in September 1983. Displacing, the EWs were SOHC 12-valve engines. Early 3 barrel EW1s produced from and. The fuel injected EW3 and EW4 produced at 5,500 rpm and at 4,500 rpm. The "EW" name was replaced by the Honda D15 series, with the EW renamed to D15A in 1987. It also received a new engine stamp placement on the front of the engine like the "modern D series".

- * similar to the EW1, Fuel injected CVCC 12-Valve 4 Aux valves. A third throttle plate in the throttle body supplied intake air to a 5th injector which powered the CVCC ports, The rated power is different between the Civic and the CR-X: the Civic makes at 5800 rpm and torque at 4000 rpm, the CR-X made at 5800 rpm and torque at 4500 rpm. Differences in power are largely down to a more efficient exhaust system on the CR-X it used a factory cast iron 4-2-1 extractor went through a catalytic converter further down the exhaust system and had twin exit tail pipes. The Civic had a short 4-1 design into a catalytic converter and single pipe exit. There was a revised intake manifold for vehicles produced in 1986 and 1987. The EW5 was only available in Japan. It came in the following models: CR-X 1.5i, Civic 25i Hatchback, Ballade CRi Sedan.
