redlineh22a

not enough, to where anybody cares

Chris y0!

gribbs

ya i have this engine i realize this full well .....just wanted to know for comparing things
thanx for the free bump though .lol

gribbs

no **** eh that little?? I have an ex (canadian) sedan and I am pretty sure this is the engine i got....didnt think it was that little though ....wow!

Chris y0!

the canadian EX is the US DX right?

no, its probably not that low. but it isn't something you have to worry about... slow is slow.

ya i think the dx/lx/ex all have same engine unless its the EX-V but I dont got that one.....

then this all makes a D16z6 swap sound that much better!

I'm actually building a D15B7 just for the hell of it. I'll be posting more info as i get farther along...

My old 92 dx stock wasn't too bad, ran 10.6's in the 1/8th but yeah I wouldn't expect any better than 80whp.

I can't remember where I read this, but if I find it I'll post it. I read that it's about 100whp. I know that sounds like the manufacturers HP rating. Actually it should be a 102hp engine. As we know 15-20% is lost in the drivetrain. That would put the engine at around 81-87whp. I dunno about everyone else with a stock d15b7, but my car is pretty fast for a 1.5L 4banger. At least it feels fast. I mean sometimes it feels like I have VTEC, I swear. But it must be the engine's characteristics in that of it being a top end performer.

I race against my friends 93 Del Sol Si all the time (125hp stock) and I constantly pull away from him by half to one whole car length. Granted, my car is gutted, a DX and I think I drive slightly better. It's pretty neck and neck, but I still win with 25 less HP.

P.S. my car is fast

sometimes it feels like you have v-tec?

ha ha LMAO!!!

EGO

I meant the vtec thing jokingly. But seriously though, the car will literally pull slightly, noticeably harder at higher rpm's.

Lawnmowers will pull slightly as well!

Hey Bishop I am with you. I have a 93 DX with bumped timing 18deg., ghetto CAI (basically remove the intake silencer) and I was neck and neck with my buddies 95 Si Hatch with a short ram.!! I think the DX has a little on the D16Z low range but once they get on the cam it gets tough to stay with them. I also weighted my car on an electronic scale at a racetrack and its 2180 empty.!! The Si was porkey, like 2345...SO at least the DXs are lighter than the EX Si which definitely helps.

with my d15b7 i was able to hang with a del sol si. although the other guys car was a little heavier and he had a passenger.

kids around here either cannot drive because 3 of my freinds had 92-95 si's or ex's and my dx coupe railed all of them. i dunt get it all i had was a gutted coupe, with I/E and a clutch and they all had I/H/E and ran a 16.0 high 15's on the 1/4
i kinda miss my DX motor......well not really

I dont think anyone's had enough to spin the dyno with a d15 hehe j/k.

My friend hit 138 at the wheels with 50 shot. 140k miles
