You have a D15B7.

1.5 SOHC, Factory 102HP. I did a lot with this engine before it turned into a hand grenade. It didn't mind the Z6 head, but after a few bottles of the nitrous, the #1 rod decided to make a few holes in the block.
It was fun while it lasted, I amazed a few people with that setup.

You do not want the 1.5 l vtec.....there slow as hell and made only for better gas milage..also they are a 8valve compared to your 16 valve.

There was a dual (or 3-stage) VTEC 1.5L available also; one of the best SOHC motors Honda ever made
