Are you sure the head and bock are D15B or just the block? The head should have the dual solenoid vtec on the top left. If it checks out as such, you're one lucky b@stard. Post some pictures to confirm it all.

That looks to me like a D16Y8 or Y7 head so its probably just the D15B block. That also doesnt look like the dual-stage vtec. Please be much more specific with your last question as I dont know which one of the many JDM options and D16 options you could be referring to. I'm not familiar with the mini-me swaps to be the one answering turbo questions, but I believe you still have a solid base for it.

Why would someone do that do a mini me swap on that engine.what does that head do different then the original head

Research it. Mini-me swaps are incredibly common for D-series engines. The reasons could range from someone already having the parts, or getting them from a friend, or finding a good deal, or they just wanted that set up, the list can go on. There's no point in understanding why right now, just understanding what you have and going from there.
