also i think the dizzy are different cause of the vtec
:wave: that would be me... yes these engines are very good and powerful in responce. i had installed a injected one about two years ago into a eg hatch... you need the p08 manual ecu. i went throu headake with the auto ecu cause it keeps throwing codes due to not having the box. also the manual ecu runs a hell of alot better than the auto. the other interesting things is that when i didnt originally have the p08, i tryed a series of ecus. p28 and all the others. once i got my hands on a p08. i was over the moon cause it runs alot better on this engine. trust me. don't get anything else..Quote:

I used the Auto P08 ECU on my swap, got some advice on changing the ECU to manual by removing/adding parts to the main-board. Runs beautifully and only thrown 1 code for the EGO, as used original ED EGO that was soaked in oil. No drama's since.
Hard to believe that this car once came with dual carbs and 72Kw of normally asthmatic(oops.. I mean aspirated ;)) engine when it is putting out over 100Kw these days :D
My JDM VTi has this engine. They are commonly refered to as "Black Top's". Very popular engines to boost in Taiwan ive heard. NA with mild h/e mods they can make upto 100hp at the wheels.
As John said, adding a VTEC wire isn't too hard to do.
Check the forsale section Bao is selling p08 ecu's. I know him and can definatly vouch for his work. He has worked on many d15s in his time.
looks like i can get a d16z6 (vtec) dizzy for pretty cheap (from the states)
could someone please confirm that it will fit my d15b vtec?
Get pics of the dizzy from the states or get a part number from it to confirm it is the right dizzy.
For ECU mods, check this link:

if your car is carby. u got problems.. unless your planing on doing what i did.... if its injected. you can just add a vtec wire on top with your standard ecu. and wire that to like a rev tacho...
