I think someone has the engine code wrong. Looks more like a D17 to me.

No there is such thing as a D15B in Japan. Rated at 115 horsepower (6,500 RPM). Low-end engine on the Civic and the Civic Ferio.

i think that d15b has the 3-stage vtec (doesn't make it fast, but it boosts fuel economy and low end i think)

Dunno about the 3 stage, but there are three different D15 engines too. One on the iE trim is the "lean burn" v-tec which is econo-v-tec. The other on the C4 is non-vtec. The L4 has the standard v-tec.
