Civic EG

i bought a 95 dx coupe about 1 month ago...since i found out its the ej and not a eg..only major that needed fixed was the doors which i did.i got the radio wired right and taillights working...odo reads 253500 or close to it.but the motor was swapped out now the motor has 152000..i bought it this way and the guy i got it from is a good friend...he said it had a d15b7...puts out 102 hp..little did he know it had a d15b jdm motor in it....puts out 130 hp...

and i only paid 600 for the car....also new clutch less then 1 yr ago

id say yeah you dot a good deal your buddy must not alot about hondas or run it high enough for vtec to kick in lol his loss your gain

ya you came up

but a "ej1" and "ej2" fall under "eg"
ej1- ex vtec
ej2- dx non vtec

Nice. I would say you got a good deal. Is it a D15b vtec or just a D15b non-vtec because I usually refer to mine as a d15b7 but I have a jdm D15b non-vtec in it.

non vtec. but u cant consider its a d15b7 because of the hp diff i think.u when i tell my friends and stuff its sounds better when i say jdm

I thought there wasn't much of a difference in hp. The wikipedia article is wrong in my opinion because the non vtec doesn't produce the same power as the vtec one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_D_engine#D15B I could be wrong though. I can't tell much difference between power from when I had the d15b7 and the d15b it has in it now.

Also http://got-jdm.com/92-93-94-95-jdm-d15- ... -p-33.html (not too sure about the site, wouldnt buy from it but just using it for the number examples) has the d15b listed as 106 hp which is 4 or so more than the d15b7. (just rambling here )

But I concur, saying you have a jdm motor sounds way cooler

i swapped a jdm non vtec d15b in my buddies ed7...

well i looked at numberous pages on da web and i talked to my friend and he said like make 130 hp..i belive them.....anyways 600 was a hella of a deal

VTEC in a stock single cam doesn't "kick" like it does in the DOHC ... hell even in my slightly modified D-series it doesn't "kick" and in reality it shouldn't ... it's supposed to be a seamless change over. I can beat the piss out of my engine all I want and I will never feel VTEC engage.

Also to OP where are the spark plugs ... if they are on the exhaust side (font of the engine) you have the VTEC engine (but which one, there is the VTEC-E engine which is also labeled D15B in Japan if I'm not mistaken) ... if not ... sorry you has JDM d15 non-vtec (which is pretty much the same as the b7).

Funny - there's a D15B at the local junkyard ... it must be JDM. Not very exciting though - it's non-VTEC. I used the same method to ID it as the poster above ... spark plugs are on the back side. Meh.

aside from the motor...... how is the chassy. rust?

no rust really.the front end needs replace but still works fine ..the front clip and everything i need inculding labor for the support is under 400...u cant really tell thats its been wfrecked..i would put up pics but it wont let me

The JDM D15B non VTEC does not make 130 hp. It makes the same power as the usdm non VTEC.
