The engine is what seems to be a VTEC-E engine. It's basicly a very low emission engine and with better gas milage.

My suggestion is to read about it on wikipedia. I read it once but I forget what it was talking about.

check under the hood right behind the distributor. if there is 2 vtec solenoids, you have one of the rarest d series motors ever

EDIT: https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/need-help-obd2-d15b-3-stage-vtec-98-ex-2543525/

basically right under the breather for the valve cover. see.. two vtec solenoids
