also if you are getting one that says D15B2 then it isnt from japan as far as I know, I think JDM engines only say D15B, B18B, B18C, B16A, etc. no number at the end like in the USDM cars.

at least you are getting the right year's engine, then you should have no problems at all, and if it is d series it will bolt up to your tranny no matter if it was D16Z6 or Y8 or whatever but it is the wiring that you have to worry about but since you are looking at the OBD1 engine then you shouldnt have to worry about your ECU or harness or anything like that.
My motor is a d15, the problem is the number after it. I don't know the difference between a d15b7 (which i think is mine) and a d15b2(i could be completely wrong about this). I guess, like you said, since they are both the same series it should bolt right up. What could be different to effect the horsepower rating though. This new one lists as like 90 something hp, where as a stock 92 civic cx is supposed to be like 75 hp. I guess it doesn't matter since obd1 isn't very strict anyway, the ecu should run fine?
