Ok i used to have a D15z1 before i swapped it out. The best you can do is a junkyard turbo kit for it but dont expect to get past 150hp or so. It's been dont a few times, check out TurboD16.com they might have something. Other things include 2.5 or 3 inch home made intake, new plugs & wires, 2.25inch custom exhaust, and a change over to the 92-95 SI tranny. It's a great engine if you need a beater, but power potential isnt great so if power is what you are looking for then time for a swap. OH, stick with light weight rims too. Hope that helps.

Swap to D16Z6 and boost it.

or just swap it out for a b-series. and get a helm's manual and familiarize yourself with your car.

you have an economy motor. the only way to deconomize it is by a full rebuild, or shove sommore pounds per square inch into that combustion chamber.


SIMPLY PUT: YOUR ECONOMY MOTOR WILL BE AN ECONOMY MOTOR, unless its built, or you have a nice sized turbo on it.

Well I have a Greddy T3 turbo and everything already, all I need is the exhaust manifold but I can't find one for that motor, anyone know where to get a turbo manifold that will fit the D15Z1? The turbo was gonna go on my accord but I decided to turbo this instead.

Any D-series turbo manifold will work. I just saw a nice one made by LoveFab (very good company) in the classifeds actually...

Dont even worry bout buying one. Make an adapter plate that bolts to the VX manifold. check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com for info on how to do it.
