is this the JDM d15b vtec? If so use a p06 with an OBDII-to-OBDI harness.
for emmisions, you might have to run the 96-00 EX ecu, since that is a sohc vtec ecu.

the obd2a route (what your car is wired for at the moment): a P2E would be your best bet. it's out of a 96-98 civic or 96-97 del sol S. if you don't have VTEC, it would be your best option. if you DO have a D15b VTEC engine, you should be able to run in on a D16y8 computer - which would be a P2P.
the OBD1 route: a p06 ECU will not control VTEC. if you have a JDM D15b VTEC engine, I would try your luck at sourcing a P08 ECU, or at least using a P28 and chipping it with a factory P08 program. if you don't have a VTEC engine, a p06 should work ok. jumper harness will be necessary no matter which way you go. .
edit: there may be an issue with a knock sensor if the D15b doesn't have one. might have to go OBD1 for the best result and no CEL's.

Re: (T-RO)
it's a JDM D15B engine from 96-00 civic in JAP and yes it's Vtec. The Y8 Vtec is different from the D15B since D15B is running 3 stage vtec and i'm wondering what's the different between the 3 stage vtec and the Y8 vtec????????
sry about the newbie question

obd2-1 harness + p08 or 28/w chip for you then. Or p28 and run aftermarket management.

Only for the OBD-1 '92-'95 version.
He has two VTEC solenoids, which most refer to as three stage VTEC.
I would use a P72 or modified P28 with IAB enabled to run this motor. I would hijack the IAB control to actuate the the first stage at 2200 RPM, going from 12 valve operation to 16. Then at 5000 I would use the VTEC output to switch to the VTEC lobe on the intake cam. I recommend starting with a OEM P08 map and wideband tuning it to that engine. I have yet to see the proper OBD-2 ECU here in the states.

i totally don't understand what you talking about, since i'm a newbie at this, guess i'll be facing a lot of trouble if i'm going to get this D15B, should i just go D16Y8??? what are the different between the Y8 and the D15B anyways? which one is better??? o and btw I'm located in Canada, Vancouver if that's matter

Yea u should stick with local engines to avoid more headaches. It's just easy to get a Y8 swap or long block here & everything will pretty much go plug & play. Spend some other $ on getting timing belt service done, & put in new clutch & flywheel etc instead. A 92-93Si tranny with 4.25 FD would give u more difference than a JDMMMMM D15B block......IMHO
Why go D15B for the bling bling JDM title!?

Re: (spoonek4)
P08 is not the ecu. This engine was also made 96-00. We all know the 92-95 D15B ECU is P08, but the 96-00 is ??? i don't know The only thing I know is that it came in 4 door ferios. I've seen them

good luck sourcing the jdm EK d15b w/3-stage vtec. it really isn't a performance motor..... it's really meant to be fuel efficient and technologically innovative. just stick with a d16y8. you'll save yourself a lot of headache and wind up making more power. heck, just swap in a b18b. it'll barely cost more.

he does have a good point. IT IS RARE, but what's really the point?
