How do i know if i have an HF or Dx???

[vmk23]

I have a 1988 CRX and when i bought it was told it was an HF, however i think some of the parts, brakes in particular, resemble that of the Dx. Does anyone know how to truely tell them apart? Would it be in the vin # somewhere? THANKS!

Pop the hood and look, the DX is dual point fuel injection, and the HF is multi point fuel injection.

If your car has a fuel rail with 4 injectors its an hf. Also if you floor it and it doesnt go anywhere its probably an hf as well.

ive heard the HF have 3 slugs and the DX has 4..

well i guess i should have been more clear...you guys are correct however i have a D16Y8 swapped in the car and have no idea what engine was in there before.

Anyone else?

THANKS!

well, if you want to tell by the car then ....... hmm I know an hf has small splined halfshafts and hubs. If you take a normal dx halfshaft and its to big for you hub then it would be a hf. Prolly something else but I cant think of anything off the top of my head right now.

I think you've heard wrong...

 

[Jdubspeeds]

I think hes got the slug part right. HF= SLUG

 

[vmk23]

Is there anything in the VIN # that would tell me? I thought this would be easy to tell haha but i guess not.

 

[xj0hnx]

The 4th, 5th, and 6th, numbers of your VIN are hte chassis code. Get those and then match them to a listing
example
EH2= 92-95 VX
EG6= 92-95 SiR
etc...

in the back of your car, does it say HF or not? DX doesn't have a emblem, but the Si and HF do.

www.crx.org should have the differences listed somewhere on the site. That or call your insurance agency. They foudn out my crx was an si by the vin#.

 

[MaliWho97]

You can tell by the brake rotors, the HF rotors are the same as the 84-87, and the DX and SI share the same rotors. Also, look on your rear lower control arm, and see if its stamped w/ HF.... If so, then its an HF!!!!!

 

[MugenCRX]

DX will usually have a rear wiper and no sunroof. HF will have neither and SI will have both. USUSALLY!!! Dont hate if im wrong.

I you're constantly looking for DOWN HILL on-ramps and reject all others, it's an HF. If you feel that you've got 1st, 2nd, and then 3 5th gears, it's an HF.
