The Honda Accord Euro

Emissions Control – Euro V compliant
In addition to the Accord Euro engine gaining power and torque, the 2.4-liter engine has lower emissions.
The 2009 Accord Euro is compliant with the impending Euro V standard.
The in-line 4-cylinder engine is designed with emissions performance in mind, employing VTC and i-
VTEC. Newly designed fuel injectors likewise help reduce hydrocarbons after starting, while a Linear
Air/Fuel sensor positioned in the exhaust system just upstream of the catalyst improves air/fuel mixture
control.
The exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder-head casting in the rear of the transversely mounted
engine. This allows the catalytic converter to be positioned very close to the cylinders for swift light-off
after a cold engine start. A secondary catalytic converter is positioned under the passenger compartment
floor, shortly downstream.
Exhaust System
To help boost engine torque, the Accord Euro has a new high-flow, low back-pressure exhaust system
that contributes to a 15-percent increase in exhaust flow over the previous Euro. Large-diameter pipe
sizes throughout the exhaust system increase flow; beyond the under-floor catalytic converter, the exhaust
system passes through a pre-chamber under the second-row floor, and then splits just behind the rear axle
to feed into free-flowing dual silencers and chrome exhaust tips.
