step 2: match said code with corresponding code on this page


but to answer your question: d15b's are common most anywhere (got a few buddies in Ohio with them), but most people are ditching their SOHC for DOHC.

- Wed Jan 25, 2012 4:32 am #291870 Wow they are japanese i didnt think they were so common, would i be able to use a p28 Ecu or do i have to for sure use the P08?

they are selling the whole block and ecu for 255$ what do you think?
