I just wanted others to be aware, as I have never seen anyone else with this motor. All factory markings/cast #'s are exactly the same as the JDM version. I just had to take pics to prove to some folks on another forum that this existed, so I figured that I would show my HT brethern......





I hope that this may help someone in the future......

 

for some reason...thats doesn't look oem...but i could be wrong...looks like someone attempted to stamp something on themselves...

 

looks like a d15b to me(or d15b2 in this case)

interesting,

probly kinda like the b18c6, lotta ppl hadnt heard of it, but its just the same as a b18c5

maybe you can call honda in china and find out for sure?

 

yeah the 2 looks kinda weird but if its true thats crazy... I'm thinking It's from a crx... dpfi?

 

I get 93 Civic 4dr Lx with D15 Non-Vtec engine and recently I bought JDM D15 Vtec engine. My question is the timing belt and water pump are the same as the non-Vtec of US? If they are not the same what year timing belt and water pump should I need for my JDM D15? Please help I need the car to run!

 

That just doesnt look right, doesnt even look like a 2 was there before.

 

If you look at it in person, it is definately factory, there is a wierd "c" kinda thing on/in it as well.....it's wierd, but definately a D15B VTEC.

EDIT: This motor is from hmotorsonline, and Steve is the one that stated it is Chinese. I am sure he's right, as he imported the damn thing lol.

Looks like the "C" thing stamped over the 2 in part of the die stamp for the "HMO" next to the 2 look under the "5" and you will see the same ovel circle inside the "HMO"

 

Are those HMO stamps from Steve at HondaMotorsOnline??

 

Wow, it even has the HMO stamp.

Although, his close-up looks better, but the 2 doesn't look as thick as the other letter/number stamped. But... eh, who knows?

I didn't think about the "C" thing being an HMO stamp, but it is. The 2 is definately factory though.

 

thats a damn good zoom.... d15b2

oh yeah...

you use the vx belt. 103 teeth. i changed my belt with a vx, and everything is identical. dont quote me on the waterpump, mine didn't fit.

 

my motor from hmo has the hmo stamp on it too, so i guess they do stamp their own numbers on top of the circled hmo stamp?? i dunno but you can def. tell the 2 was a factory stamp.

Yea, I like this digi cam w/ a good macro.

 

It's a VX water pump, but be careful, the aftermarket autozone brands aren't identical. I went to 4 parts stores before I found a match.

 

Thanks guys for info.................

But the question is... do you have super macro? lol
What digicam you got? I just recently ordered my 3rd time digicam from Japan.

I actually just picked it up for CHEAP yesterday, it's a Concord, I don't recall which model. It seems to eat batteries though I got like 10 pictures using flash before the brand new batteries died, the manual says to turn off teh LCD when in use for better battery life, but damn. 10 pictures?

 

Check out the back of the block, on the opposite side of the ENGINE stamp D15B2
It should read "P08"????
let us know
Thanks
Chris

if your using alkelines, try switching over to NiMH, they are rechargeable and offer significantly better life in digital cameras.....atleast in my canon they did...

 

Steve at HMO is a good guy, but I don't know why he'd feel it necessary to stamp a block twice
