Vin Number

My JDM D15B just came in today and it doesn't have the Black Valve Cover like the rest i see. It is silver like the D16y8 but it says D15B on the block. It Says Vtec on the cover too. So if anyone could tell me how to tell by the Vin # what year and model it is it would be appreciated

if you have the actual VIN number check it here: http://members.lycos.nl/hendrik/honda/vin.htm

dont just use those 9 numbers that are under the d15b stamp, thats not a vin.

Then what are the numbers under the D15B?

u might have a d15b block with a d16y8 head. check if you have a vtec solenoid. if you dont know where its supposed to be ask me.

They y8 would have a vtec selinoid anyways so how would that be any different?

the vtec solenoid is on the head on the side of the transmission. its a little round thing with one wire coming out.


if that is what you have then its almost like a ls/vtec, you get more hp at higher rpms.

I know what a vtec selinoid is. and what you are talking about is a MiniMe swap. My motor is a SOHC JDM D15B that comes with 130hp and over 150tq. It is supposed to be vtec from the factory but I was wondering which model it is because there are 3 different models of vtec in japan vtec, vtec-e, and 3-stage vtec. The 3stage came in the 96-00 model civic Vti and the regular vtec was in the 92-95 civic i'm trying to figure out which one I have. Thanks anyways.

the numbers under the engine code is just a serial number, its just like any kind of serial number, tells where it was made and when, although i dont know how to decipher them.

Thanks anyways.
"and what you are talking about is a MiniMe swap not the ls/vtec" do you wanna quote me on that? cuz i never said it was an ls/vtec. i said almost, same theory. if i didnt know what i was talking about i wouldnt be talking at all. i have a freaking ls vtec sitting in my garage (u want pictures, ask). u said u had a silver valve cover, not the black one. then you have a 96-00 SOHC VTEC head. as for which vtec u have, figure that one on ur own.

Thanks for being a 2 year old, why the f*&k would i want to look at pictures of an ls/vtec? Just because the valve cover is silver doesn't mean its from 96-00 either. Especially since its a JDM motor because that one only said HONDA across it. Obviously you don't know what your talking about. You may know about the Ls/Vtec but other than that with your snide remarks your probably are 16 and your mommy gave you your car.

why the hell are u getting pissed at me bitch. i never said u gotta fuk|ng listen to me. :loser: :screwy: i see ur 91 hatch aint the only thing dumped bitch. and for ur information im not 16, and my mom didnt give me my freakin car. i worked my ass off for the last two years to get a freaking 97 hatch. and the only reason i got it is cuz i got connections. with the money i make i wouldnt be able to buy it. but look at u, 21 years of age with a dumped 91 hatch. vith a f'ed up motor that u dont even know what the hell it is. pathetic. stop procrastinating so u can get ur self something better. and stop getting pissed at me. u dont wanna listen to me, then dont. peace

First of all there is no need for profanity. Somebody should ban your ass for talkin like that. 2nd of all I never said I didn't know what type of motor I had. If I didn't know what it was I wouldn't have ordered it. I just had some questions qbout the valve cover because it was different than the rest. Then you come on saying its a Y8 head and they don't even use the y8 head on the JDM D15b, they use the z6. You may know alot about the Ls/Vtec but other than that you should keep your mouth shut if you don't know what your talkin about. 3rd of all I love my 4th gen and will probobly continue to keep it till I die or get hit by another vehicle. I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BETTER. In my opinion there is nothing better. Yeah I do have a dumped 91 hatch, dont get all bitter cuz yours is probobly sitting stock with a big wing on the back and ricer stickers everywhere. I wouldn't even justify your childish name calling but you're nuthing but a loser that has an Ls/Vtec (in his garage) that knows not what he is talking about. :loser: :thefinger :biggrin2:



Sory to anyone that had to read this childness

dont get all bitter cuz yours is probobly sitting stock with a big wing on the back and ricer stickers everywhere. I wouldn't even justify your childish name calling but you're nuthing but a loser that has an Ls/Vtec (in his garage) that knows not what he is talking about

u think ur such a smart ass dont you. we'll for your information my hatch doesnt have a big wing, and its not stock. and i hate to brake this to you but i dont have a single sticker on my car. and as for your engine, throw it away and get yourself a sirII and stop trippin'.

Why would I wan't a SirII when I have a 4th gen? If you think the SirII is so great then why do you have an Ls/Vtec? :loser: You know what you aint even worth my time. So i'm gunna say peace and kick this thread. You ruined a perfectly good thread with your bs.

Now, now ladies. Don't get your panties in a jumble. The dude was just stating his :2cents: and you got all pissed off.

And Ls/Vtec, you didn't have to go saying he doesnt know anything about his motor. Can't we all just get along?

well when you don't know what the hell your talking about why say anything. You could know everything about the dohc and nothing about sohc and tell people the wrong info. Oh well my bad for getting mad and being an ass.

88-91 civics are 4th generation, so get your facts straight. I swear just because you can type doesn't mean you should post. Especially without using your brain. You are one ignorant person. I think the motor you are talking about is 1st gen B16 for the Sir. Not SiR2 and I think but don't quote me on this the SiR2's came with hydro tranny's. Why don't you quit trying to be a dick and prove me wrong for some reason. Get a life and do more research before posting.

lsvtec, the 88-91 civic IS 4th gen, no matter what you say.

dumped91hatch, try looking on the front of the head on some motors it sais what year it is just above the exhaust ports, like dohc zc motors say it just above the middle of the head, for example mine sais "90" hope this helps you out a little

Good lookin out!

:rofl:

Man you are a DUMB ASS!

After hearing you say that, I seriously don't think that you have an ls/vtec motor.

Yes, The SiR2 do have hydro trannys.

And the said thing is, it looks like he did do some research......Just a real :newbie: job of it.

:1: Its about time someone sees that this guy is an Idiot. And to ~ls/vtec~ :flipa: :chair: :biggrin2: :owned: Bitch!
