Icon2 Does anyone know the real specs?

I have been searching everywhere to find the specs on a D15B and I look at different sits and they are different it's either hp or ft/lbs, compression, nothing is ever the same and I was wondering if some of you happen to agree with the real specs. I wanna know so I can know what to add to my newer motor. I know that basically all D series parts are interchangeable so can I take the cam gear off my Y8 and put it on this D15B. Also what pistons can I switch out to get more compression until I have money to boost....

People use the PMS pistons from the 2001-2003 Civic GX for increased compression.

Just hold off and save your money for boost. Thats your best bet.

From what i have read the D15B has the highest compression ratio of the SOHCs' and will be harder to boost safely because of. You might read up more on it and look for a lower compression piston for more leway in the boost tuning. Lowers the chances of blowing your stuff.

To summarize, the compression ratio is 9.3:1. It has 130 PS. 1 PS equals about 0.9863201 HP (from a quick google search). So it has about 128hp (at the crank of course). For torque (again nothing can be easy), it says 14.1 kgm/rpm. From another google search; 1 kgm = 7.23301 ft-lbs. So around 102ft-lbs of torque.
