i recently bought a 92 civic. i have 2 camaros but i needed something dependable and easy on gas. anyway, the guy i bought it from said he put a 1.5VTEC engine in it. i don't know much about hondas, i don't know if it's a 1.5, but it is a VTEC. how can i tell the engine size? thanks

look where the tranny mates to the block.. there is a square stamp on the block, left of the header, cant miss it, will read either d16z6 or d15b

it is a d15b

CodyC142

d15 =1.5
d16 =1.6
b18 =1.8

1.5

hondas are fairly easy
d15 = 1.5
d16= 1.6
b18 = 1.8

you get the idea

its a 1.5 the 15 in 15 means its a 1.5 Liter if you have a H22, that means its a 2.2 liter. and so forth.

thanks. how much hp does it have and what modifications can i do to make it produce more hp?

120hp ish, turbo is the only way to get good results from these engines, because they got no displacement.

Best engine mod for it would be a new engine. Otherwise you wont get to much power.

No one has mentioned it yet so I will

The D15B differs from the D15B7

The D15 is a JDM motor and if you search around on honda tech you will find parts guidelines for replacement parts

The D15B7 is the stock Dx motor with no vtec
