What kind of air cooling does a Honda 1300 use?
The engine was SOHC air-cooled, with a fan attached to the flywheel to pull cool air through the engine block, labeled DDAC, or Duo Dyna Air Cooling. This warm air, and additional hot air from around the exhaust manifold, was then used to heat the passenger compartment, a novel approach which was not commonly used afterward.
When did Honda start using air cooled engines?
Mr. Honda was adamant the engine needed to be air rather than water cooled, arguing that “since water-cooled engines eventually use air to cool the water, we can implement air cooling from the very beginning.” In May 1969 final specifications and prices for the Japanese market were announced.
What kind of engine does a Honda car have?
Current Honda general-purpose engines are air-cooled 4-stroke gasoline engines but 2-stroke, Diesel, water-cooled engines were also manufactured in the past. The current engine range provide from 1 to 22 hp (0.7 to 16.5 kW ). More than 5 million general-purpose engines were manufactured by Honda in 2009.
What kind of engine does a Honda CBX have?
The Honda CBX motorcycle (1978–1982) contains a 1047cc inline-6-cylinder engine. The engine used a DOHC 24-valve cam-over-bucket valvetrain to support high RPMs. Current Honda general-purpose engines are air-cooled 4-stroke gasoline engines but 2-stroke, Diesel, water-cooled engines were also manufactured in the past.
When did Honda start making air cooled cars?
Something that would compete with the Toyota Corona and Datsun Bluebird. With the exception of a few water-cooled Formula 1 cars, Honda built nothing but air-cooled engines for its motorcycles and cars through the 1960s. Soichiro Honda loved air cooled engines.
When was the last air cooled car made?
In 1973, Honda replaced the 1300’s air-cooled engine with a water-cooled fuel-injected variant which held things over until the introduction of the wildly-successful Honda Civic. And that was the end of Honda’s foray into air-cooled engines for passenger cars.

What makes an air cooled car so unique?
The blower fan had short blades for the same reason. But what really made the 1300 engine so unique is that the engine block had cast-in airflow jackets, rather than sheet metal shrouds, to direct the cooling air around the heads and cylinders. And the jackets were ribbed, internally, to further exchange heat with the cooling air.
