I have a greddy kit on my dd crx d15b7 full boost around 3.5-4k pulls hard for low boost and a 1.5L...You can make 200whp on that kit easy

And thats a stock motor?
I was thinking of doin a cometic head gasket and arp head studs

EARLdaSQUIRREL

greddy kit for a beginner like you and low boost/stock block

no need for cometic headgasket , but if you want arp headstuds i would do them with a oem y8 headgasket

GoHardEH2

ok sounds good..i have a y8 intake mani in my garage..would it have much of an affect to put it on?

GoHardEH2

i jus wanna have something reliable and quick [not lookin for fast right now] ill build a motor on tha side for that...wat are the benefits of tha arps vs oem headstuds

Many D's just can't handle the extra cylinder pressure, and the weak OEM headbolts stretch just enough. It pushes air into the coolant system, which reduces its capacity and blows coolant out of the radiator.

The Y8 HG is multilayer stainless (MLS), and with ARPs can take a lot of power - on perfectly flat block & head surfaces.

A greddy kit (with fmic added) would work for you to make 180-200whp, but a custom kit with a log manifold will be better overall, and some logs work with AC. IDK if your D15B has the deckheight of a normal D15, but if so a prefabed downpipe may hang a little low since its probably meant for a D16. A 60trim T3 with a .48ar hotside would work perfect for you. With the smaller 50trim, stock exhaust/cat, and 6psi my 8:1cr D16 made 160whp and spooled by 3300. With a bigger exhaust, it will make more power per PSI, and spool faster - but obviously louder. I use an e-cutout now, best of both worlds.

As for tuning, FL doesn't test so you can go with Crome, eCtune, Neptune, S300, etc. Just get a decent tuner, and you'll be set.

I'd go with arp headstuds, oem hg, and a gressy kit. U will be happy and it will b reliable.

Stock motor with a new hg, timing belt water pump..and i reused the oem headstuds...runs great

my hommie is runing 22 pounds of bost on a zc the motor last about every outher race season and a 1.5 that is the onley motor i havent blown up iv even tried so i would get eclipse turbo with turbo timer a cheap manifold and of corse turbo gages and run the **** out of it or just run about 7 to 8 psi and pull 13
my homie runs stock every thing but tires and runs 12.79

ABK

is it jdm d15b or regular d15b. There is a big difference. If you are looking for 200whp. either greddy 15g kit, or dsm turbo setup.
