how would you identify a 1.5 lsi engine

 

The LSi is equivalent to our CX I believe, so the engine would be stamped with D15B8 near the transmission. However, since it is from a different market, the last number might be different.

 

look at the valves. If you can pull the valve cover off and you only see 8. thats it right there. Unless its the carb model than thats the one for the CRX. but then again CRX did come with FI 8valve D-series from 90-91. Horrible tho. Absolutely horrible in terms of performance!

 

this one is 16 valve, the top of engine looks identical to my 1.5 16v. eg3 1222783 is stamped on fire wall does his mean anything

Thats your chassis code,you want to look in the engine block,on the left below.

 

then it's a d15b7 equivalent

 

Hello ,look to the left of the block next to your header.

But it's rated at 89 BHP according to the brochure which is less than a B7. Must be detuned or something.

 

It's a D15Z1.

The VEi has the D15Z1

 

Where are you seeing an engine code on there?

 

Turns out that it's a D15B2. I originally thought it was that, but I kept getting a ton of conflicting information. Like, people asking about their 1.5 LSi cars with VTEC-E, and saying their engine was a D15Z1 ....

But I'm pretty positive it's a D15B2 now, after seeing a couple decent posts on some european sites and a couple videos on youtube.

Doesn't say, but I assume a 1.5L with VTEC-E is the D15Z1, which is the VEi trim.
