Talk:Honda L engine

About the Pictures. if needed i can get a picture of the 1.3 l13a1 engine and also i have various jazz photos. question is do you guys think i should upload the l13a1 photo? since we will start runnign out of space and give this article the bloated/crowded feel.

I think the "modified" 1.4 VTEC picture should be changed to a stock one. I don't think an owner modified engine photo should be used to represent the L-Series. Even if it is just the intake and spark plug wires. It isn't the engine as Honda intended.

Also, it would be a good idea to post pictures with the other engine styles. The european engines are much different than the American ones. As long as it is next to the proper article segment, it shouldn't clutter the page much.

I would like to appreciate differences among different engines. For example: in what differ 1.2DSi and 1.3/1.4DSi? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seppstefano (talk • contribs) 13:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is "LDA (i-DSI +3 stage i-VTEC)" a lean burn engine?

If it isn't then in fact none of the Civic Hybrids use lean-burn engines, although the Civic Hybrid page says otherwise. This L engine page doesn't mention e-vtec, which is how lean-burn worked with the 5th Civic VX, 6th gen HX and 1st gen Insight. I know the Civic hybrid has a special VTEC mode that reduces pumping losses when coasting, not lean-burn but coasting losses, so max power can go back into the battery when braking. So lean-burn with this LDA engine seems unlikely.
