Vin Number

[Dumped91Hatch]

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.

[Dumped91Hatch]

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.

[~ls/vtec~]

why the hell are u getting pissed at me bitch. i never said u gotta fuk|ng listen to me. 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.



Sory to anyone that had to read this childness

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'.

[Dumped91Hatch]

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? 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.
