haah we're all in the same boat then, I have had a half-built turbo D16Z6, B20B, B16A, B16B and now I am waiting for an H22A to get here. But I swear, its the last engine this time! Looks good, those little D15Bs are potent plants.

Its not "poor man's VTEC-E" and its probably not 3-stage. Its a plane old JDM D15B 130hp VTEC engine.

Its a D series SOHC so its a 2 stage cam, its VTEC-E. Its not VTEC, there are major differences. A lot of these ricer D series owners fail to appreciate that

Im not slating the D series engine or this man's choice of the D15B, its a good choice for turbocharging, better than any B series as far as cost effective performance goes. But if kept N/A then its just....lol

Your a retard. There are different D15Bs, just cause you cant find them on wikipedia doesnt mean they dont exist. Learn your D engines before you go talking about things you dont know about.

the vtec-e engine is found in the 92-95 vx models and its engine code is d15z1 and in 96-00 hx models and is stamped d16y5. A d15b is an almost identical engine to the d16z6 with the exception it comes from japan, has 5 more hp than the z6.
