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

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

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.

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.
