JDM 1996–2000 Honda Civic D15B 1.5L SOHC 3-Stage VTEC Engine (OBD2) — Approx. 61,000 Miles
Genuine Japanese-domestic-market D15B 1.5L SOHC 3-stage VTEC inline-four, imported directly from Japan by JDM Alliance. Serial D15B-3223366.
What 3-stage VTEC means
The JDM 3-stage D15B is a genuinely different engine from the single-cam D-series sold in the United States. It runs three distinct valve profiles — 12-valve economy, 16-valve normal, and a high-lift VTEC stage — rather than the two-stage arrangement most D-series use. That's why it's bought as an upgrade rather than a like-for-like replacement.

What's included
Anything else visible in the photos is included unless noted otherwise.
What you'll receive
We stock multiple examples of most engines, and the unit photographed is one of them. If this particular engine has sold we'll match you to another in the same condition and mileage range. Before anything ships we send you photographs and the serial number of the actual engine you're getting — you approve it first.
Fitment
Running 3-stage VTEC correctly requires the matching ECU and wiring — the ECU is not included with this unit. Confirm fitment with your mechanic before ordering.
Warranty & returns
This is a performance engine — an upgrade over the engine it replaces in most applications — and it carries our 30-day performance-engine warranty and a 30-day return window. Full terms at jdm-online.com/pages/warranty.
