hey. whats up guys, im new to the forums and just picked up my first honda this week.

my whole life i hated on civics, but after driving a monster Jeep wrangler. gas was killing me. after driving my civic for a day i fell in love with it.

so i picked up a 90 civic hatchback dx.( i know this says pre 88 but i couldnt find a place to post a thread for a 90 civic).
mine has been slammed on its nuts and motor and transaxle has been rebuilt, probably 10k on both.
my question is about the d15b2 engine.

how reliable is this engine? what are some pros and cons to this engine?

im not looking to turbo it right now, but i would assume a newer engine like a k serries? (if im remembering what my friend told me correct) would have to be put in if i ever went that route. right now im just looking for a gas saver. with that being said

is there much you can do to this engine to give it a little more Ohmf. straight bolt ons? to trade a little gas for performance? or is it not worth it?

thanks, kyle.
