I usually post in the eg section cause that is what i own but this is a different case. I recently baught a 93 cx with a swap. The engine is a D15B. At first i thought it was the jdm engine but it is non vtec and it is not very fast. The reason i posted here is because i had a friend with a 90 civic hatch and he had the same exact engine. It says D15B but it is non vtec. But i have not seen him in years. So maybe u guys can help me.

Was there any honda that was pre-92 with and engine code stamped d15b but was non vtec. thanks for the help

 

yes, non of them were equpped with vtec.the non si models had the d sieres 1.5 liter motors, the si had a 1.6/_

 

yeah but off of what civic did the "d15b" come out of . Because i know there is the "d15b7" and the "d15b2" but what civic has the "d15b" with no numbers after the b.

 

if it doesn't have numbers after it, then it's something JDM. That's a starting point; I don't know much past that.

d15b is a jdm motor..and is sohc vtec..
Are you sure its not vtec.??


EDIT:: Actually I remember when I went back to barbados this summer my cousin there had a honda civic ferio-lev ..And it had "D15B" stamped on the engine and it was non vtec..The Hondas there are all J-spec...and it had a pcv-601 ecu and 2 4 wire o2 sensors....I've never heard of this **** so I was confused when I saw this..

 

yea he's sure i have the same motor i have a crx and 93 hatch so i posted the same question in the eg forum and their is aparently a vtec version and a non-vtec version

 

i did a search and came up with this. D15B 1493 130@6800 14.1kg/m@5200 9.6:1 75 84.5 sohc yes 1991-1999 Civic VTi (EG4).

for any engine codes you need check out http://www.hondaswap.com/forum...29825

 

There was a D15b sold prior to 1992. It has no vtec and made 91 or 100 PS(90 or 99 Hp) depending on trim.

Here's a chart straight from the Honda archives. I realize you probably can't read japanese but if you go 3/4 of the way down the page, you'll see several engine codes and coresponding PS/rpm ratings.

There are even multiple versions of the D15b made from 92-95...not all of them had vtec and 130 PS. Two others made 100 and 94 PS.
