well i honestly cant say i have tuned a d15 engine...but without tuning i can tell you this, you wont have much power unless you have plenty money to back you up. all motor wise (on a normal budget) maybe around 180-200whp (i suppose) boosted maybe 250whp. i could also be way wrong though but i can say thats a good guess

well let me stomp it back down for you, lol. JK.
All motor Dseries, forget it. Boosted D, great bang for the buck, can make good numbers, cheap replacement engine when you blow yours up. O yeah, and search, there is numerous threads about D series and what is possible. There is one thread on here some where that is dedicated to people posting there setup on a d-series and what the numbers were.
Edit: 777 posts for me

lol yea that is so true. you can replace a d engine for like $400 if it blows rather than a b series which will cost around $800? that and im hella cheap so if ur like me, d series boosted is the way to go =D. another thing i've heard is that d series boosted is a good way to start learning about turbos rather than just reading...if the bitch blows u gotta find out wats wrong then fix/replace it so ur learning hands on lol

Re: (DoubleU)

no body reccomended boltons. Boost is the only reasonable way to get power out of the d-series

Re: D15 92 - 95 (vtecstudent)
Heres how my D15b and I live and co-exist in the same world
she treats me good, no problems, no hassle, but shes just not very fast. Dont take me wrong, im not knocking it, the vtec kicks hard and sounds amazing, and with only header, intake and hollowed out cat she does a 15.3 in the QM at 90mph. [in a sedan;] Its a quick litte car, but im awaiting k series for my hatch. I have had really good luck with the D15b tho (thankyou HMOTORSONLINE.COM) Good luck, its a fun little vtec! I'm sure you will enjoy the outcome~

If you put a Z6 head on it you can probably pull about 180 or so whp naturally aspired...but that's after ur running ITB's 'n **** - hardcore system, lots fo money...
Forced induction...you can run at least 400. Not on stock internals of course, but when you reinforce the rods, bore it, lower comp pistons, valves, new valve train, etc. etc. I've heard of Y8's putting out 450 and I'm sure that's just the beginning...
It's all variable as to how much you're willing to spend... If you spend a lot, you can get a lot of HP out of it, turbo builds seem to depend on 2 things, the tune, and how strong the block reinforcements that you're using are..obviously the more expensive reinforcements, the better they are (usually).
Go bore with forged rods/low comp pistons and a low comp valve train, ARP studs, maybe a shorter crank offset or shorter rod. You won't be able to rev higher (you could still float the valves) but you can probably pull 450 or so at the wheels on a fairly high ammount of boost...even more hp if you bore it out and put a thicker head gasket on there...like double Y8's or something...
It's all in the build, in the game of cars, more money = more power.
EDIT:
PS: Obviously I vote forced induction, in my opinion the motor's got **** in terms of natural aspiration. Boost it, mini-me(VTEC) or not - they're cheap enough that if you blow it up, it won't matter. You want to dump money in it, they can have more hp. Naturally aspired you're looking at 180 at the wheels after you dump just about as much money into it as you'll need to make a turbo version that's reinforced on a good tune that's gettin ya almost twice that (throw a number out there like 300....weigh it.
EDIT 2:
In short, no you cannot make your 100% stock motor better on a low budget (as that's probably where you're going with it) - you want power, u need $, you want biggest bang for ur buck - go turbo..VTEC or not, doesn't matter...

Re: (DoubleU)
SOHC's came both with or without VTEC. Either way, if you want any power out of it, boost it. Just not worth the trouble otherwise. (IMO)
Quite a few guys putting 400whp+ out with boosted SOHC's. Even a couple with 300+whp on stock blocks. Use the search function, learn everything you can about it, buy once and do it right.

Hondata will work. You can use the stock head. You don't need to reinforce the internals on a D series if you're up circum 180-210bhp if your tune is good. Higher and you'll need stronger connecting rods and would probably want low comp pistons while the engine's apart....or just get shorter connecting rods when you buy 'em forged.

No, I'm not saying that, there is no DOHC D15 as far as I know. Unless you count the D16ZC DOHC and then sleeve it to a 1.5L but that's kinda not practical... I said he could do a DOHC or SOHC turbo, he can do a Non-VTEC D15b turbo, he could do a VTEC D15B (JDM) turbo, or he could do a D16Z6 turbo. You can boost anything.

Re: (Syndacate)
i was looking at this, if i do all motor i want 250hp. but if i go boost i want 350 - 400 hp.
now on another hand..wat about transmission? i know it will not hold that much power so what should i do for that????
but back to the motor part should i get a new crank? or should it hold up to 400hp?

do you know how much money you're looking at for a 400 whp anything? much less a D-series? do you appreciate the PSI of boost you would have to run?

Re: (vtecstudent)
that's a really lot of boost.
the mini-mi swap makes a higher compression i've heard
so im thinking doing that is a bad idea if your goal is turbo
