Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

No its not a con or a joke! I have a 1.5i LS VTEC 2000 Hatchback that was imported from Japan and i have tried to find a new chip for it and cant find one anywhere. Engine number is D15Z6, Type EK3.

Can you put pics on here, because i'll take a pic of the plaque in the engine bay.

I realize your a noob, but you could at least have some common sense.


Here's some important info.

A LS engine is a B18 not a D15

 

[B16]

yes, you should read and find out what LS VTEC is, then get back to us with what your problem is, you have conflicting information

Here in europe you have an 1.5L vtec. Engine # is d15z6.

 

[calvin]

it is an honda civic lsi (just like the dxi in the states). I think.

 

[posol]

dx here is d16y7 for 96-00.

i've never heard of this motor

take a pic-- and upload it to the gallery- create an album

Sorry I should have said that I'm from Europe, my fault. The car was imported to Luxembourg europe. But why the hell have I got a pain in the ass engine? I've got the usual mods but I 'm after a new chip. But all I keep getting told is that my car does not exists, well sorry it does, its outside now!

 

[bte15]

well you could get a obd2 to obd1 jumper and get hondata that would solve all of you problems

So what you have is just a JDM 1.5 SOHC VTEC. Nothing unusual. No LSVTEC engine there.

It's Honda's smallest VTEC engine. (Similar to the US spec VX engine)

You can get a OBD2-1 adapter, and use a P08 ecu stock, or have it chipped.

Hondata is not going to be able to help you on this one.

I know, I know.... Why not?

The JDM 1.5l VTEC engine is missing a few parts that Hondata looks for.

1- The ECU does not have a barometric sensor
2- The ECU does not look for a VTEC oil pressure switch
3- The ECU does not look for a Knock sensor.

Although #3 doesn't matter, 1 & 2 do.

HTH's.

 

[posol]

hrm... why doesn't it have #2? I was under the impression that the right pressure is required as a safety feature

I have heard of the D15Z6, but do not know anything about it. For switching to OBD1 and a USDM ecu, you could switch to a usdm vtec solenoid with a vtec pressure switch. I had to do this to use my usdm p72 on my JDM b18c.
