d15b7
Im pretty new to engine building so i figured id look for a little help. Im looking to rebuild my d15b in my 94 civic dx, and i was wondering what are some good options for power upgrades without swapping the motor or spending a million dollars. its my daily driver so i dont want to do anything too over the top, just something to give it a little more go. any help is greatly appreciated. also, would it be just as easy to do a head swap and go vtech?

Re: d15b7
You have much reading to do, i'd recommend d series . org or one cam only . com, these forums deal with d-series tech far more then i have scene here.
Simple list: Compression Cam Head Intake & exhaust TUNE!!! Just keep searching and reading and you'll learn alot with can only help you! |
Re: d15b7
D16a6 cam with a d16y7 cam gear good for 10hp or so intake exhaust 2.25 or 2.5 inch Max. Also a d16z6 transmission would really help and make it seem feel faster compared to most bolt ins
The cam and gear are about $25 at a junkyard $8 for a new cam seal from Honda I would start there! |
Re: d15b7
you would be happy with a d16 *correction, yes i meant the b7 rod* rod and a y7 piston. wih this combnation and a z6 head you would need to run atleast mid grade or better. your looking at something a bit faster than a z6 motor with the head/piston/rod combo.

Re: d15b7
thanks for the help guys! also, easy vtech, can i use the d16a6 cam and d16y7 cam gear on my d15 head or would i need a d16 head for that? and xero xero, youre talking using the rods and pistons with a head swap correct?

Re: d15b7
you have to use a b7 rod
combination stated clearly *and corrected*- d15 rod, y7 piston, z6 head. there is an adddition to this. you can use a d15 rod on a z6 crank. |
Re: d15b7
1.6 rod wont fit on 1.5 crank... not even if you use duct tape... Dont put incorrect info.
Hello??? |

Re: d15b7
I would have to agree with madmood. D16a6,z6,y7, and y8 rods all have a larger big end than a d15b2 or b7. To the op,Get an Si cam, y8 cam gear, timing belt & water pump, new spark plugs (maybe wires, cap & rotor), z6 intake manifold and throttle body, .040 milled off the head. And maybe a nice valve job if you have the funds.

Re: d15b7
a d15b has a 134mm rod legnth and a rod journal the same as a z6/y7/y8. d15b1/bb2/b7/b8 are smaller journals.
d15b vtec and non are verry common. anyone who has buil a number of d series would know this. a d15b crank will fit into a b1/b2/b7/b8. you must then use d15b rods, d16z6/y7/y8 rods are too long for ANY piston. |
Re: d15b7
LMFAO.... You may want to go in your garage and do some measuring... You are talking about sroke. NOT rod journal size... STFU!!!!! Shhhhhhh
|
Re: d15b7
And since the OP is building a d15b7, he can't use a d16 rod. Im also not sure if he wants to be swapping cranks and what not since this looks to be a budget build. In my opinion the d16a6, and d15b2/b7 non vtec heads are better than the z6 head. Also onecamonly.com is madmood's site so I think he has built a d-series or 2 or 50.

Re: d15b7
good for you guys. why is he still trying to break 12 seconds witha sohc then?
y7 pistons will suit you the best. install them on the d15b7 rods, you will be fine. no height or clearance issues. mind when decking a head. some say .04 but that alone can cause valve clearances on y8 heads on a b7 block. i would say no to decking the head. it is easy horsepower, but not for someone who is not going to plasigauge the pistons to valves. mind vtec if you choosea vtec head, as you will need to lock in vtec to checkl clearances. |

Please stop giving out incorrect information. OP .Get yourself a nice header & Intake combo, along with a good flowing exhaust . A good camshaft choice would be from Web Camshaft. Start from there and see how it goes... |
Re: d15b7
[QUOTE=Madmood;45680802]WRONG again! The d15b "vtec" is he ONLY d15 with rods that fit on any 1.6 crank.
Please stop giving out incorrect information. QUOTE] |
Re: d15b7

Thanks for thread jacking this poor guys thread with all of your misinformation. If you knew how to turn a wrench, you might have the right answers... |
Re: d15b7
