i have a d15 motor with very low mileage, i have a cat-back exhaust and am about to get a cold-air intake, what would be some of the best and safest ways to get more power out of it cause this motor is SLOW

turbo

Nawz and final drive

mike93

last person i knew that turbo'd a stock dx motor blew it up 3 days later........what about a skunk2 intake manifold and msd ignition

mike93

im also stuck with an automatic trans so my choices are pretty limited as far as an engine swap

your friends motor blew because he's a dumbass for running untuned...i don't even know you and i'm gonna say that the motor was untuned...and if it was tuned, it was done poorly...I know ALOT of people that have daily boosted b7's...I'll even give you a b7 block and head if you do decide to boost it and blow it up on a good tune. I'm personally running 210whp and 184tq on a STOCK block d16z6 since last september.

Firstoost

Also, i don't see how your choices for a swap are limited...Get rid of that shitty auto and swap in a manual...it's not that hard....and an intake mani and MSD ignition on a d15b7 is pointless....ANY ALL MOTOR D IS POINTLESS IMO....<--my opinion ...don't flame me please.

I have a D15B7 with manual tranny for sale.

keep it stock yo it will never be fast

I'm in the same boat as you. LX AT plus its a 4-door. But that hasn't stopped me from doin burn outs or runnin with people on the freeway. Go turbo. I was going to do this project. But I decided 2 pursue my Rap career. AnywayZ the cost and trouble of swapping the trans out isn't worth it unless you plan on doing some HEAVY Modifcation to your motor. That being said I love my AT even if it is slo off the line.

yup


or be ultra cheap, get 175/50/13s on some 13" wheels. It will turn a 4.25 final drive (ex tranny which you should have already acquired because it makes that much of a difference) into a 4.88 final drive!

buy my tranny: link in signiture. biggest differance you will make on a SOHC is gear ratio.

Firstoost

you're giving people a link to an item that's already sold?

swap it or drive it stock and enjoy the mpg. IMO, bolt ons are a waste of money on that motor.

worst motor ever to try and mod. save your $$$ and get a d16 and turbo or go for a B series. The d15b7 is a very good paper weight.

mista bone's d15b7 put down 140ish whp with a cam and i/h/e and a good tune...

mike93

swapping out the a/t for 5speed would be an extreme pain in the *** that im not willing to waste time on, what about an automatic LS or gsr trans with a b18c, and does anybody know the best place i can get one of those trans in good shape?..............P.S-my friend IS a dumbass

mike93

as much as a turbo costs it would be more worth it to just swap out the engine

mike93

also, what all would entail a 5spd swap

mR. Vash

It can hang with B16's for 1st and 2nd gear And it's gods gift to gas savers.

Over all, this motor sucks. I really miss my B-series. By the way, this is the d15b

Go turbo with a good tune...don't push more than 6-9psi on stock internals unless you want to blow it. That'll be a good way to get that little D15 moving a bit quicker.

Firstoost

Actually you're looking at it the wrong way...You need to look at it in wheel horse power...The d15 probly shouldn't be pushed past 200-210whp on stock internals IMO. The size of your turbo is going to determine the WHP it will distribute at a given ammount of psi.

just sell your car and get an si
