B7 is good to probably 170-180 WHP. The Y8 can hold 210-220 reliably with a good tune. Depends on what your power goals are.

Roughly 10.8:1 from http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/D.htm

 

thanks i new that was that web sith but u could not find it agen

 

the d15b7 also has smaller rod thickness.

 

i know but i dont know what i want in hp yet so its hard

 

ttt

 

The D15 is a 1.5 Liter and the Y8 is a 1.6 the y8 will make alot more torque and they can handel 10 to 11 psi stock with a good tune

go with a y8 great motors for broke people who want to boost

 

thanks

 

haha, by a lot more torque he means 5 lbs, maybe. Nothing wrong with the D15 bottom end but with that compression that thing will require serious tuning. I guarantee that thing makes more power all motor than a full y8 would and that compression is sure going to help power out of boost too. Good Luck p.s this is my 1000th post, woot.

 

SO YOU THING I SHOULD KEEP THE D15???

 

dude i got d15b7 boosted, 170whp 160tq @ 8 lbs of boost. beat a grand national that had 278whp and 330tq @ 17lbs of boost. im happy with it, im also tring to build it.

Good stuff!!! What turbo are you using?

If you can afford it get a y8 bottom end w/ eagle rods and SRP pistons. That's about the cheapest Honda bottom end you can build, and it'll handle 300whp without a sneeze.
