JDM D15B Question
Didn't for me. I tried to swap the 2 bolt cast mount from my B7 to the D15B and it wouldn't work. I think it had the bolts different lengths apart.
And unless my Civic LX had a motor swap, which I doubted, that's not right. I have a different theory. Non-vtec motors had 2 bolt mounts, and VTEC motors had 3 bolt.
And I know people have said they used the D16z6 timing belt without an issue and some used the d15z1. I used the D15Z1 belt and the D16z6 tensioner and it fit perfect. The D15Z1 belt is the same part number as what came on the motor and you cannot get the original tensioner...it's like a special JDM part or something.

Re: which parts interchange with JDM d15b vtec?
I read thrrough this 4 year old JDM D15B Vtec thread: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/parts-interchange-jdm-d15b-vtec-2861606/
And I have a question:
My d15b vtec has only a 2 bolt cast mount. Is mine different

I don't think you read the entire four year old thread...

Re: JDM D15B Question
Moved your posts into your own thread and referenced the old thread. The policy here at H-T is to create new threads instead of reviving ancient threads due to different cars, different mods, different situations and quite likely different parts and answers.
