I have a 93 Del Sol that has a d16 sohc and i was wondering is there a way to get power out of it or is it just more efficient just to swap to a bigger engine? Right now it has a dc exhaust manifold and light weight flywheel was thinking of putting a turbo on it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Turbo or a swap all motor is expensive and slow

If you're not swapping engines or you don't do Forced Induction then the answer to your question is "nothing".

awjuhl

don't know what the d15 is capable of it it can handle boost and is cheaper then a different engine but don't want to boost and engine if it cant take it and don't know how well it can spin a turbo

and what is don't engine swap and don't do forced induction have to do with the price of eggs?

Wrona

How about you research because you don't know a lot about hOndas

Sorry to say this but you don't know what you're talking about. Go to the Forced Induction forum and read ll the FAQs.

awjuhl

this was the point of asking

Start reading.

what is it that i need to know about Honda's it is the same principle between all engines when you put a turbo on it i don't know the little details like what size turbo would work well and what kind of boost the engine can take before like 4 D-serries engines i know blow the head gasket and warp the head (mind you the owners are not that bright) this is way Im asking. Im pretty sure i can swap in a B16a into my car OBDI and it should plug and play but can my trans work stuff like that is what i was asking

There is no such thing as a "small detail" when it comes to boost. Especially not with these cars. Since you obviously don't want to read and educate yourself just stick to a relatively simple engine swap. TONS of info on those in the FAQ of THIS forum.

awjuhl

didn't mean that turbo was small detail just mean cheaper when i have all the parts except the ecm might **** that off if don't go to a better stand alone controller. I already have over sized injectors in the car not sure what size after market fuel regulator need pump have a two turbos exhaust manifold down pipe don't have intercooler not sure if required if not running that much boost it is a Project and it is never gunna be all the way done

If you do a lil more research you can make a single cam go fast it just takes a lot of work and a good tune! I've seen single cam on boost beat h22s on boost! So like I said do more research! And a d15b runs much better than a d16y8

awjuhl

got any recommended literature to read other than FAQ's that would help with a D15

Chickenjoe

If you're staying single cam, take a look into dseries.org

B16 will not swap in to your trans.

You dont want a B16 anyways if your wanting to do a swap. Those are useless unless your going boost.

Like Marc said, research! heres a good link, a little outdated, but a good read for the noobs.

Other than FAQs? What exactly are you looking for?

JustGrady

This is what i am looking at doing to get a bit more power out of my d15, however its almost as cheap to do a b17 swap. This forum is full of great info you just have to look

dood, theres a reason no one swaps b17's.

IDK where you got this idea, but its not the best one.

Wrona

i have advice for you stay away from boost until you read a lot about this subject... you really need to reaserch and other than the FAQ's? do you know what FAQ stands for go in there and read

a good turbo build is not cheaper than a swap ebay kits that go for 400 dollars are complete crap and suck *** please read before you make a fool out of yourself

Chickenjoe

B17s dont exist anymore, my advice to you would be to try a b series! Best you can get is a Gsr try all motor! Boosting a single cam takes a lot of money!

Wrona

Wow u don't know what ur talking about either

you can build a reliable D seires that puts down 300WHP+ for 3k that will last
a B series swap B18C1 = 800-2400 depends where you buy from than all motor lol its not even worth it it's like getting 300WhP out of a all motor b series would cost around 3k if not more thats not including the swap

wheres the like button lulz.. about 95% of honda owners are stupid or ignorant in some way or another. since it seems like you this is your first honda. setups vary so there is not SET rules you have to follow. but there are basic guidelines. the d15 platform in stock form is very limited and pretty worthless. WHATS THE POINT OF MAKING POWER? IS IT A D15 OR D16??? what you are trying to accomplish? illegal street racing/track use/road racing/auto x/drag racing/hill climb/rally??? power adder preferences??? money budget?

awjuhl

seeing everyone don't know what they are talking about sorry for wasting you time i will go back to school and ask my professor at college hope he can tell me better want is possible i just wondering what was possible with this engine maybe get it to clear its own shadow and Frequently Asked questions Don't tell ya **** expectantly when they don't work

Don't know what FAQ you were reading but between those and the link in my sig told me everything I needed when I boosted my car. Plus the other link in my sig tells you everything you need to make your car go fast. I don't think you read any of it TBH. I told you before. If you don't want to read up on boost then just do an engine swap and call it a day. Sorry no one is just going to hand you step by step instructions which is obviously what you are looking for.

Good luck with that professor.
