Honda has an engine called the Honda Earth Dreams, which employs direct fuel injection technology along with Honda's original VTEC technology support. The model code is L15B2, and there is a turbocharged version. All models have experienced issues with oil emulsification and oil level exceeding the upper limit (gasoline entering the oil chamber). Below are the vehicle models equipped with the Earth Dreams engine. 1. Earth Dreams: L15B-2 (NA naturally aspirated): Fit, City, Greiz L15B, Gienia L15B5, XR-V, Vezel (all sharing the same chassis and powertrain system, collectively referred to as the Fit) L15B-L (T turbo): CR-V 1.5T, direct injection, CVT transmission L15B-F (T turbo): Jade 1.5T, direct injection, CVT transmission L15B8 (T turbo): Civic 1.5T, direct injection, CVT transmission UR-V/Avancier (T turbo): L15B, specific model not disclosed, direct injection, CVT Tenth-generation Accord: L15B, 1.5T, specific model not disclosed Below are the Honda vehicle models equipped with non-Earth Dreams engines. 2. Non-Earth Dreams R18Z6: Jade 1.8L paired with 5AT, Crider 1.8 paired with CVT, pure IVTEC R18Z7: Vezel/XR-V, port injection, CVT R20Z8: Spirior 2.0L, port injection, CVT, pure IVTEC K20C3: UR-V/Avancier 2.0T, turbo L4, direct injection, paired with 9AT K24W5: Odyssey 2.4L, L4, pure IVTEC, CVT K24V4: Spirior 2.4L, L4, direct injection, 8-speed dual-clutch K24V6: Elysion 2.4L, L4, pure IVTEC, CVT LFA11: Spirior Hybrid, 2.0 naturally aspirated, multi-point injection, hybrid, paired with ECVT

Honda has a wide variety of engine models. Older cars commonly feature D-series and B-series engines, known for their economy and practicality, such as the D15 installed in 1990s Civics. Current family cars mainly use L-series engines, like the L15B in the Fit and the L15B3 in the Vezel, both equipped with Earth Dreams Technology, offering fuel efficiency and strong performance. Mid-size cars like the Accord and CR-V previously used K-series engines such as the K24, but newer models have switched to the turbocharged L15B. Performance enthusiasts surely favor the red-top engines, like the K20C in the Civic Type R, a 2.0T that delivers over 300 horsepower. There's also the V6 J-series used in the Odyssey, while hybrid models feature the LFA-dedicated engine. Recently released models like the Breeze Hybrid use the fourth-generation i-MMD system paired with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, boasting ultra-high thermal efficiency.

Honda engines can be categorized by application into several types: Small-displacement economical engines like the L15 series are used in compact cars such as the Fit, featuring 1.5L with direct injection technology. Mid-size vehicles previously relied on the R series as the mainstay, such as the R20A in older CR-V models, but have now been upgraded to turbocharged versions. Tuners are most fascinated by the B series, especially the red-top B16B, which could rev up to 9,000 rpm when installed in the EK9 Civic. MPVs and premium sedans use the J series V6 engines, like the J35Y4 in the Odyssey. Hybrid systems now exclusively use dedicated engines, such as the LFA1 in the Accord Hybrid, a 2.0L engine paired with an electric motor for exceptional fuel efficiency. The newly introduced ZR-V hybrid employs a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a thermal efficiency of 41%, ranking among the top tier. For turbocharged vehicles, the K20C is commonly used, while the North American Acura models also feature the 3.5L J35.

How to Start as a Used Car Broker for Beginners?

You need to be able to identify whether it's an accident-involved vehicle, as such cars are tricky in the current market—handling them poorly could lead to losses. At the very least, you should be able to inspect the car's condition by looking, smelling, and listening. Sellers will naturally first inquire about the price of their car from the broker. At this point, the broker should absolutely avoid rushing to lower the price.

How to Drive on a Highway with Only 2 Lanes?

Before entering the highway, the car owner must go to a repair shop or 4S store to check whether the vehicle's condition is normal and whether the tire pressure is normal. The speed should not be too fast, but also not too slow, because there are maximum and minimum speed limits on the highway, and you cannot change lanes back and forth. You cannot always drive on the left side, because the left lane is for overtaking and cannot be used continuously; it should only be used when overtaking.

Where is the Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 located?

The Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 is located above the three-way catalytic converter, with the V6 engine B1 air-fuel ratio sensor positioned on the left side. Since the three-way catalyst's purification capacity for CO, HC, and NOx drops sharply once the air-fuel ratio of the mixture deviates from the theoretical value, an oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust. It then sends feedback signals to the ECU, which in turn adjusts the fuel injection volume from the injectors, thereby maintaining the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value.
