There are literally hundreds of places to find the info. Just do a search on here or google (for "mini-me civic" or mini-me honda") if that link doesn't provide enough info. It will be the same thing as a vtec head on a D15B7 (the work you'll have to do).

^This is correct above, but there are a couple of things that actually are different (at least they were different on my B8). First, make sure it has PM3 pistons. It's often said that early B8 engines still had 8 valve specific pistons in them while later B8 engines had standard DX pistons so you may or may not have additional work depending on your motor. Second, B8 specific injectors run at a much lower fuel rate than basically all other injectors so if you had planned on reusing your injectors you better get another set. Finally, the water pipe is different on the B8 (at least mine was) in that it has one outlet instead of two. I have diagrams/pics I can show you if needed.

No D15B8 used 2 valve pistons from what I can find, I checked part numbers one time before, every year used the same pistons as a D15B7.
