A D15b IS vtec. also has an LSD tranny, with shorter gear ratio's like the ex/si trannies.

No, it doesn't matter. not all of them say vtec.
Does it have something similar to this=Image on the back of the valve cover, near the distributor?

Depends what your scrappies- salvage yard is like, bout £100 for the head and wiring and alot more to get a garage to fit it.
