    Ask ko lang po bakit yung ibang mga d15b engine na nskikita ko may nakalagay na vtec na markings, samantalang yung akin ang markings niya is vtec-e? Ano po ang difference? Nakalagay naman dun sa engine number code ko is d15b talaga o iba po? Nabili ko na po kasi siya na ganito... Thanks...

    Sir anong civic yan? VTI-s ba yan?
    A typical JDM d15b would have vtec honda embossed sa black head cover ng makina..

    If it's a vti-s, I think yan kasi yung d15b 3-stage. It has a two vtec implementations: vtec-e and wildcam...

    If it's an ef,eg or ek (between 1998 and 2000 models), it's most likely a transplant, so you have to confirm if it's the d15b 3-stage...

    It's simple to tell if it's a d15b 3-stage.

    One solenoid = jdm vtec, no vtec-e, not the 3-stage
    Two solenoids = 3-stage, with vtec-e (e for economy?)



    If it's a 3-stage, lucky you. I heard it's got better fuel economy.
    By the way, saang markings ba yung sinasabi mo? You mean sa head cover?

    The VTEC-e is the fuel efficient version of the VTEC and was used on Civic VX models that were made to be fuel efficient. The VTEC activates at a lower rpm as opposed to the performance version VTEC. the goal being to give you better mileage rather than more horsepower. IIRC the power should be around 70-90hp, as opposed to the D15B with 130hp.

    Thanks sir for the input, but according to this site 115hp po ang d15b vtec-e... http://everything2.com/title/VTEC-E... Sorry po noob talaga ako... Pero mukhang pang economy nga po talaga yung e... Mas ok na po ito kasi mataas ang presyo ng gasolina ngayon... Hehehe...

d15b vtec -e?
