True. from what i read, the jdm motors donot have numbers at the end of the codes on the block : my jdm d15b is 3 stage vtec w/ lean burn capabilities a usdm d15b6 will not .
The dual vtec solenoid is not a true indication of a 3 stage vtec motor. pull the solenoid off and look at the holes in the head (ha!
) If there are only 3, all one above the other, it's single. .three one above the other, and a fourth on the bottom right:
like that, is 3stage.
this is the solenoid:
for the record, i'm running a $29 ebay p2j-j62 with a manual in my 96 civic lx. (cvt ecu - I fooled it into being happy by wiring a 3 wire IACV to it. the iacv is strapped to my clutch line by my battery right now. no cel's 4 wire o2 sensor in stock d16y7 civic location.)
feel free to peek around my public picasa stuff on my "MINION" enjoy!!
My pictures don't work! you can follow this link to my "econo light" folder in picasa. you can see my dual solenoid, and where it tied into the head, and the "holes in myhead!!"
