Hi all ,
Recently i saw a civic 1.5 EK model 4 drs yr 96/97 at a second car dealer and the engine is D15B but the sales person told me that it is a non vtec.
Question ... i thought all recond civic car are vtec??
I was thinking of buying that car as it's quite cheap (43K) compare to other civic .. is it worth it to buy ?
Does any sifu out there know the bhp for that car ..

Please refer to this link:

I believe the D15B have two type, one with vtec and one without. The one with vtec is with 130hp (refer to the link).

Have fun. :)

For an EK3 D15B without vtec and selling with a price of 43K is really really low....better be careful......

for EK3? I think you can see the valve cover...there should be a "Vtec" word on it....

According to one the the forum here for D15b engine the word VTEC will not be written on the cover

I own a B18C DOHC vtec... :)

hhmmm.....in that case, you would need to locatethe Vtec solenoid...
