The Ultimate Honda Chassis Code List

[NOFX]

So this is a Honda/Acura chassis code list that I've been working on for awhile. What you see here is approximately three years worth of research of my own. That is the reason for the watermarks; to prevent people from copying the full list and claiming it as their own. Please, if you see any wrong information or you have any missing information to add, post it here or IM me. Please make it clear which line of text you need me to edit. The orange fields are fields with missing, incomplete or suspect information. For anyone who does not know, your chassis code is IN YOUR VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The fourth, fifth and sixth digits of your VIN are your chassis code. Your chassis code DOES NOT CHANGE no matter what engine you put in your car or what you do to your car. You can do a full Type R conversion on your '96 CX hatch and it's still going to be an EJ6 because the VIN does not change. ***NOTE*** Since there is occasionally some confusion, I will clear things up here: "_DM" means a car was built to be sold in "_". It does not mean that car was built in that country. USDM = United States Domestic Market These cars were built to be sold in the US, but could be built in the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, etc. <FONT SIZE="1"><FONT COLOR="WHITE">B15 B15A B15B B15C B16 B16A B16A2 B16B B17 B18 B18B B20 B20B B20Z C20 C27 C32 C35 D13 D14 D15 EF9 EG6 EH2 EH3 EJ6 EJ7 EJ8 EK4 EK9 EM1 EM2 ES1 ES2 EP3 AP1 AP2 NA1 NA2 BB2 BB6 CB7 CH1 GSR Type-R Type R CTR ITR 1.6EL 1.7EL 1300 Coupe Accord Acty Ascot Innova Avancier Ballade Beat Capa CSX City Turbo Cabriolet Civic Hybrid CRX CR-X del Sol Concerto CRV CR-V Domani Element Elysion EV Plus FCX Fit Aria FRV FR-V Hobio HRV HR-V Insight Snspire Integra SJ Jazz L700 L800 LaGreat Legend Life Dunk Pickup Van Logo MDX Mobilio Spike MRV MR-V N360 N600 N800 NSX NSX-R NSX-T GT Targa Odessey Orthia P700 P800 Partner Passport Pilot Prelude Quint Ra[pejorative]a RDX Ridgeline RSX S360 S500 S600 S800 S2000 Saber Shuttle SLX SM600 StepWGN StepWagon Stream T360 T500 That's Thats Today Torneo TSX Vamos Vigor X190 Z600 ZEST Sport Sports Honda Acura Izuzu MU Rover Triumph EDM JDM USDM Australia Europe Japan United States Euro</FONT></FONT> Modified by NOFX at 6:13 PM 7/23/2008

great base of info! i did find a mistake though , under EM2 for the USDM 2dr coupe EX it shows engine model being D17A1 ,it should be D17A2

[NOFX]

Thanks. I'll wait for a few corrections to be listed before I start correcting them since they're images and need to be made back into images and then watermarked whenever I edit.

Nice work

I did notice an error on the spec for DB2. Should be 2DR not 4DR, and it's only available with MT.

[4thgenx42]

Saved!

[hondahybrids]

WOW!
How did you find all of this info??

[Ragnaarok]

Excellent, now I can figure all the European model differences when I search for old parts. Nice work NOFX!

Like I said, about three years of work. Lots of websites, things I had already known (mostly US) and I got the JDM EPC awhile back so that helped me get a lot of JDM codes right.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Hey NOFX,

You said, "For anyone who does not know, your chassis code is IN YOUR VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The fourth, fifth and sixth digits of your VIN are your chassis code".

I have a 1975 Civic CVCC. The fourth, fifth, and sixth digits of the VIN are 103. It doesn't seem like that would be the chassis code. Maybe the formula doesn't work for cars that old. The VIN number of my car starts with SG. Could that be the chassis code?

Thanks.

[NOFX]

That might be it.

The modern VIN came into being in 1980. So cars made before that often won't have the format we're used to. The majority of the cars on this forum were made before 1980, so it was fairly safe for me to post that. The majority of the cars I posted actually were also made after 1980. Honda came into the US automotive market first in 1966 with limited success and after the 1979 energy crisis probably started to get more popular.

You can IM me your VIN and I'll try to find more info on it if you would like. I might have some websites for you too.

After talking with mrrsbhatia through IM, I'm certain that his car is an SGE, or an SG for short (comparable to calling a car an EJ).

His 1975 Honda Civic CVCC would come stock with an ED4, 1.5 SOHC 8V I4 3 barrel carb. It was rated at 52hp @ 5000 rpm and 68lb-ft @ 3000rpm. This engine was an option for the '75-'79 Civic CVCC 2dr (SG_), 3dr (SG_) and wagon (WB_).

Jesus, nice list.

[slomofo]

I can't believe you forgot the coolest car of all, the 94 DB Integra Xi 4WD, SOHC ZC, auto trans only.

For the most part the JDM codes were taken from the JDM EPC. That includes the year 1994.

I believe you're referring to the DB6 though.

Upon a look back at my EPC, I understand why. In order to look at the trims, you need a chassis number. I didn't have one that matched, so I didn't get those codes.

Oh, and it came in manual too.
