Here it is, the D15B. asiandoood, do you have any info on this engine? It's non-VTEC btw. It feels like a D15B7 too. Could it be a Euro or Japanese engine?

 

uhm...its kinda blurry


as far as I know for the japanese domestic market :


D15's came in two trims:

D15B VTEC
D15B twin carb

im ruling out that you have a twin carb engine. but since you said you dont have VTEC, im not even sure if this is a jdm motor or a frankenstein setup.

my best guess is a JDM D15 block with a US D15 (dx) head ??

 

w3rd.

Sorry for the blurry pic, here's a better one:


Your hypothesis could be true. Indeed there's no VTEC. No solenoid, no SOHC VTEC sound. Of course it can't be carburated. Were there any D15 engines produced in Europe? I heard there was a 1.5-liter SOHC VTEC-E engine for Euro Civics...but going back to the point, I don't have VTEC.

This is weird...but intriguing.

 

engine was in the car when you bought it? is there a D15 motor that has 3 stages of vtec?

 

I had the engine replaced a month ago. I think doood is right, since my mechanic knows where to get Japanese engines. The thing is, why did he get rid of the VTEC? :doh: LOL... I ought to have a talk with him.

 

what was wrong with the previous engine?


my guess is that he just switched the blocks, and not the head.

 

he already checked and found no VTEC solenoid.

 

wasnt asking that tho
