I was thinking about doing a d15b swap. Has any one every done one or thought about doing one. It only has a 130 hp but it will be a big difference from my 92 hp. Also it only cost $650. What do u guys think????

I took the D15B7 out of of my del sol and replaced with with a JDM d16z6 (engine code is ZC VTEC). Last time i checked the D15b7 has 107 hp depending on the year. If you want to stay SOHC go d16z6.

if you're talking about the JDM Sohc VTEC D15B yes I used to have one. nothing too special. prefer the JDM zc sohc vtec/d16z6 which has little more torque. HP wise the D15B is equal to the d16z6/zc sohc vtec

eg6turbo- what all have you done to the d15b and about how much horse power to you have

eg6turbo

well all i have on it right now is a custom greddy turbo kit with fmu and intank walbro 255 HP fuel pump...i spent no more than 2500 in a 8 month period and i can beat b16 i/h/e...and gsr's the same...i just kill them all day....b16s are about 2400 and gsr can run into 3300...i make more whp than both of these for a decent price...i really dont care when ppl say but ur turbo....i think it's who is faster with the less money spent....sum say that the potential isnt that high....but there is always building the bottom end...its a never ending process....i love telling ppl i have a d15...they are in total shock....but good luck with ur decision...

For that price, I would rather go with a US D16Z6 or D16Y8. You'll have the same hp, a little more torque due to the .1 L increase and it's easier to verify mileage. You can usually find these complete longblocks in the $300-500 range.

Scott I told you about the zc its mean kid its MEAN!!!

whatever you do make sure you build your transmission back up so it wont be so crappy ya know?

Turbo it also

project92hb

i looked at your dyno and that makes me want to do the same thing to my car. I never thought that only pushing 10 psi you could hit 200 hp. The pic with the intercooler looks bad as ****.

eg6turbo

thanks i didnt know i could hit 200 hp either but it did and im happy...n will see what 1/4 mile time i will get if it doesnt rain on wed...going up to sac with a couple friends....

well just ran my d15b vtec with .53 bar and ran a 14.065 @100.998...and 2.351 60 ft...goes to show nice tuning and good driving nets great times....o and these were with 13's stock tires...

i have a d16z6 rt now and i have to swap it out bc its blown. would both a d15b and a zc vtec fit in place of it w/o any kinds of modifications? im kinda lost on it, ive been searching and posting for the past couple of days and cant figure it out. thanks for the help guys.

i blew up my d16z6, and replaced it for a jdm d15b. Quite honestly it feels to pull harder than my z6. Now im sure this also has something to do with the fact that my z6 had 107,xxx miles, and my d15 has 30k miles. Definately doesnt seem weaker than the z6- feels stronger. The only motor mount that didnt line up in my SOL, was the top right mount- sum simple modification took care of it..

i ran a 15.3 @90 with my z6 ---- hopefully ill have time for the track this weekend, and ill post my times with the d15...
