i know this might seem stupid question, but i can go ahead and do a mini me swap now (currently have d15b7) but is it really worth it, or should invest money on building up d15b7. Would certain internals bring out the same HP numbers as a d16z6 or no?

What type of internals if so and other things besides a d16z6 head

Im going to boost either one, but should i just save money and invest in the d15b7?

you really could go with either option it all depends on how much horse power you are looking for... and since your going to boost you might not need to do the engine swap

on my 2000 lx i was orriginaly going to do a swap because the stock engine sux but i just ended up getting a t3 turbo a cat back exhaust and cold air intake and im fine and glad i didnt do a swap!

save money for a DOHC vtec swap man
you will enjoy going IN and OUT of VTEC

yeah thats what the best thing about the z6 is the vtec. other than that i think boostin the b7 is cheapest way to go, but maybe "slower"

It's not a question of PSI, its a question of power. Apparently the D15B7 is good to about 170 WHP, so that could be like 10 psi on a T25 or 6 pounds on a T3.

Forged pistons, stronger rods.

know what about a turbod15 numbers

DelSolMarine

u can do a full b16 swap for 2500 or so after its all said and done... i would suggest doing that that would be like turboing ur current motor... i mean 160 from what 90 lol id do that if i was u just save ur money and get a new motor

JUST2SPOOL

Depends on what you are looking to get out of your car.. (Goal's)

mcgee*

but see b series cost more, and if i blew it.. theirs another 2000$ for a new one, but as for d-series their cheap and good on gas, which im using for daily driver
and i can get almost anywhere

mcgee*

as for goals nothing to high just a daily car with power goals of around 200 or so

sohctodohc

yea 160 whp but what maybe 116 foot pounds of torque. thats not that much more than a d16 when you could swap a d16z6 and have a homemade turbo kit for the z6 at the cost of a completely stock b16 and the numbers on the z6 would kill the b16 so dont keep bragging the extra 10 foot pounds of torque and 30 hp when a d-series turbo for much cheaper can be accomplished.

Don't build the d15.... instead take both of your choices and make it into one... go d16z6 + turbo. Best bang for the buck IMHO.
