Re: JDM D15 Compared to USDM D16? (jdmcivicferio)
The last JDM d15 I put into a car came carbed. 
So I couldn't answer the TB question. But I know it sure was a lot more power than the standered US d15b7. 
Was it as much as a d16z6??? Hmmm hard to tell in the butt dyno, as I love the vtec and rev's.

JDM d15B sohc vtec (not vtec-e or carb version) rated @ 130ps.
it uses basically a VX bottom end (for better r/s ratio), and top is comprised of P08 head which is just like rhe D16z6 head. Intake, TB, and the rest is identical with a exception of the cam which is slightly more aggressive and 4.5 degrees retarded when compared to z6 cam (due to block height difference).

sometimes i dont blame him for not posting here... until just recently there was no love for the d series. everytime he made a tech post some ignorant fool would post some crap about swap this, d series suck.
after years of listening to (reading) junk... what would you do?
probably migrate to the dseries forum, where his knowledge is appreciated.
