Civic EG

Guys yesterday i bought my lovely black EG, it came with D15b base engine with PH16 cylinder head.

Now guys my question is, i don't really know if the setup is match or not. like i said D15b w/ Ph16 cylinder head.

Guys i need opinion, what cylinder head should i use?

D15B cylinder head or others you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Pics of the head would help.

EDIT: It appears to be a non-vtec D15B ... most likely the equivalent of the US d15b7.


So I would say ... yes the head and engine go together.


Upon further searching the PHXX appears to be a designation for engines manufactured in the phillipines the PHXX is a non-vtec engine code followed by either a 15 or a 16 ... which correspond to a d15 and d16 respectively. It would appear that you have a D15b7 with a D16a6 head (or a head that was originally on a d16a6 (they are the same I believe).

At least that's what google told me.

they are the same head
different cam

Thanks for this, i learned some here, so you mean to say i should look for D15b double vtec head, and remain my D15b base engine?

any input guy's?

Your motor is fine. If what they say above is true, you just have a better head put onto your 1.5l block. If it runs strong, just leave it as it.

All Im worried is the head is it double vtec? or non vtec?

sorry just a noob, i heard that vtec is faster and better? so im worried with mine.

see the small canister about the size of a roll of 35mm film at the corner of the head?

That's the vtec solenoid. See how many your engine has and that will tell you if you have single, dual, or no vtec

Guy's here's my engine what you think of it? in what categories of D15b belongs?

Pics, included with Engraved serial no.

Mods, pls resize pics ive posted,sorry for being n00b.

that is a non vtec motor
