yes

 

Nail I3unny why do you say it is a d15b7 cause mine is the non-vtec and if you look at pics of the non-vtec they say 16 valves on it to

 

a d15b is a vtec engine and only from japan. a d15b2 is a no vtec from 88-91 a d15b7 is a non vtec from 91-95

it is possible to use d16 rods in all these engines, you just need custom pistons that are shorter from the piston pin to the top, because the rods are longer and regular pistons for a d15 or d16 will collide with the head.

a jdm d15b uses d16 rods and the special pistons only available to that engine.

 

i say its a b7 because i know what engines are in what cars. a non vtec d15b in a USDM EG...its either a b7 or a b5 and statistics of which cars are on the road tell me its a b7....what trim is it?

 

if it was a b7 or a b5 would it say it on the block or would it say d15b also

 

or are you saying it prob. has a d15b7 head on it

 

no all d15bs just say d15b on it...because theyre all the same block with different heads. marty correct me if im wrong...but all the JDM D15B Vtec engine is is a d15b block with a z6 head on it and a slightly more agressive cam.

 

ok maybe I don't have a jdm d15b but can i swap a d16 crankshaft in the d15

 

No you are not correct.

The JDM D15B is like a de-stroked D16Z6. It has the stronger rods of the d16 but has a shorter deck than even a usdm d15b2 or b7. The JDM D15B is like a basturd child of the D series family with it's only short fall being a shorter deck but the only reason it is a shortfall is when you try to buy aftermarket pistons for it.
