there are many different D15b's in japan. It depends on which one you get.
the 2-stage VTEC model is OBD2a
OBD1 versions include 130HP single VTEC model, the VTEC-E model (think VX), and the non-VTEC model
your D16 ECU will push in more fuel than the D15 requires.
Cali would never pass you on emissions with an older engine than the car.
IMO, simply search for a 97+ Y8, they're out there pretty cheap.
