Been a while since the last post, here’s a little quick fact about the notorious Honda EG in the Philippine car culture.

The Honda Civic EG holds a special place in the hearts of many Filipino car enthusiasts due to its timeless design, lightweight chassis, and exceptional tuning potential. Widely regarded as one of the most versatile platforms of its era, the EG gained popularity in the Philippines throughout the 1990s and early 2000s from surplus units from japan and local made for its reliability, affordability, and ease of modification. Its compatibility with high-performance engine swaps, from B series, H series, D series, etc. that allowed enthusiasts to achieve impressive performance upgrades at relatively low cost.

Many esi’s became donor cars to complete surplus eg’s since they share the same parts and firewall swaps to fully convert to left hand drive. As the local automotive culture evolved, the Civic EG became a staple in car meets, drag strips, and car show events, symbolizing a golden era of grassroots motorsport and DIY car builds in the Philippines. Its enduring legacy reflects the passion of the Filipino motoring community.

Engines that the people loves.

Over the years TOYOTA has forged a reputation as the company that makes world's most reliable engines and reliable cars. If you want reliability, that's the name you turn to. Over the years Toyota has managed to win the hearts and minds of everyone as masters of their craft.

Today I will dwell on the 4a/5a engine.
This is a simple engine by today's standards and the engine block is made out of cast iron and the cylinder head aluminium .If you live in the Philippines you will see cars with this engine still running .Some of these cars where made in 1990 .That's over 34 years ago !

This engine came in :
Corolla
Sprinter
Celica

This is one tough engine and produces between 85 to 105 horsepower.The first 4As were carburetor and are called the 4A-F next came the 4A -FE which was EFI and was produced until around 2006 .
The 4A engine is very robust and has almost no weakness. Even farmers in rural areas use and abuse these little machines and they have proven themselves time and time again .
Among Taxi Drivers in the third world they are still on demand due to availability of spares and their reputation. I have driven several 4As and pushed them to their limit. They easily reach 130 km /hr but after that they begin to struggle especially if they are automatic.

The fuel consumption along highway is as low as 1 litre per 20 kilometres .Around town 1 litre to 10 Kilometres.
These engines are rated to last at least 400,000 kilometres without any rebuild and even if you knock the engine, fixing them is easy.
It's theoretically possible to keep this car type with a 4A engine running for at least 50 years !!
Toyota stopped making these engines in 2006 and cars with such types of engines are still on demand due to simplicity and ruggedness.
You want a simple car and are on a budget this one is a splendid choice.
4A engine it will never die 💯.
