I just picked up 93' 2dr Civic DX with 1.5l 16V motor, and I'm really having hard time finding turbo manifolds for it, all the places that sell turbo kits and manifols are for sohc, I just have couple of Qs. Decided to low boost turbo it since you can build turbo kit for so cheap instead of spending money on NA performance parts especially with all the turbo parts I have laying in my garage collecting dust.

Is worth turboing this D15B7 since I did some searching and didn't see any D15B7 turboed? Does it take alot of modifications to fit D15/D16 Turbo manifold on B7 head? And what stock block can take with good tuning? Motor has been newly freshened up with new piston rings, valves, seals, etc. and I really don't want to rip it out since I'm not looking to get serious numbers out of it,I just want to make this car a fun daily driver.

Thanks for any inputs!

WELL IF YOUR CAR HAS THE STOCK 93 DC MOTOR THEN ITS NOT A DOHC.Its a sohc non vtec 1.5l.For the price its gonna cost to turbo that motor and to get results youll be happy with i suggest getting a gsr or stock b20vtec build roupghly around 2000-2500 installed.

You right, it's sohc with 4 vavles per cyl. I wasn't thinking as most 4cyl. 16V are dual over head cams.

I rebuild the cylinder head completely, did few things to the block, new bearings, seals, piston rings and feel really bad taking it out now. I have T3 turbo laying around from Saab 92 9000 with downpipe, have every single bend piping with couplers, clamps, gauges, etc. missing few little parts but nothing major.

So basically any D15/D16 turbo manifold will fit to this D15B7 head right?

You rebuild the head completely and didn't know it was a sohc all this time. What parts did you put in there? LS?

Yes, d15/d16 manifolds are compatible.

Thanks, yeah I wasn't thinking, I messed up, .

Thanks again for your help!

so you put ls parts in a sohc ? wow you pulled a herosheimia on that motor

axtran

nice being a smartass when you can't spell Hiroshima.

Who said anything about putting LS parts in it, , all i did was rebuild/refreshened the cylinder head.

I work on cars for living, I have hardly ever saw SOHC 16V, I messed up, wasn't paying attention when posting.
