Got a D15B7 (weak ***), with an AEM CAI and some exhaust, but dunno which.

I've been searching the forums, and put together a combo, but need opinions about it.

Skunk2 intake (for D16AZ though)
DC 4-2-1 Header
AEM High volume fule rail

Adding those to what I already have... should I bother?

 

honestly i wouldn't waste time with that...just go turbo!

 

Are you serious? Why go turbo right off the bat?

 

I certainly wouldn't bother with the fuel rail. It's just not worth it. The intake, doubtfully, I think I'd swap a Z6 intkae manifold over if I were you, and also get a tranny from either a 92-95 EX/Si, or from 96-00 EX. Both of those will have much shorter gearing and make the car accelerate faster. Those 2 things alone will help tremendously. Then see how you like it. The header isn't a bad idea though.

um....just my .02...with the amount of money you spend on all that stuff you could
probably put together a kit and make an extra 45-50 horse...

the y8 intake manifold would be better...that is if it would fit that d15

 

What's your opinion on this engine in general? It's currently got 124K and change, and feels like it runs strong, and i'd hate to swap engines while this one is still good.

 

dude, u would be waisting money on puting a fuel rail on there, no need, if u were u i would do a mini me swap, and then put a ex tranny, then boost it, or tune it, with a vafc or uberdata, if u boost it after the mini me, use arp head bolts or your head will lift from the block.

 

you could also pick up a stock D16A6 cam for cheap and that will certainly give the car some more pep.....

 

I guess I'm just trying to establish a goal with this car, so I don't start doing and/or planning without a clue. I'd like for my car to be quick, but I'm not going racing any time soon, if never. At most, I may take this thing to the 1/8 mile to see what I got (no 1/4 close by). Just want to be as realistic as possible.

That cam would work with my D15B7? So there are quite a few parts from the D16 that will bolt in nicely I assume? Cam, intake, what else?

 

yeah if u want a few hp get a d16a6 cam from the crx si's they will bolt in fine, but im not sure about other d16 cams

i agree , the fuel rail , probablty isn't the best to tart , the mani and header , would be a plus .... and intake always helps ..... i would just jump into a turbo either , that will end up costing alot more than it's worth ....

 

mini me it for like 300 bucks and get like 20 hp

 

I'm putting a a6 head on my cx block and swapping it in tonight. I should be pretty zippy and pretty lively with a act prolite flywheel and lighten crank pulley(yeah yeah save it with the pulley) and 4-1 DC header in my hatch. Just need to get a chip for the ecu now to get the most outta it. Only thing I heard is just put a b7 cam gear on it and you'll be set with timing.

 

IIRC the D16A6 & the D15B7 share the same head, the difference being the cam.

I suggest that you spend a few hours reading the archived content, Honda made lots of parts interchangable between their various products. There is quite a bit of d series tech here. Good luck.

 

Why not Z6 intake manifold?

B18B throttle body

Z6 tranny

add your DC header.... plus the A6 cam?

Majority of the "gains" will come from the better gearing..... At sea level my friend's rebuilt B7 (all stock internals) minus the throttle body made 107whp

 

OUCH!!! MY BRAIN HURTS!!! Okay, so you guys are saying change the cam, the cam gears, the intake, the tranny... all from interchangable engines, slap the header as well, and I got me some nice ponies?

Okay, I need to read up on the interhcangability of these parts, and the pros and cons of each.

 

d-series.org has plenty of information. a crx si cam (d16a6) cam would help and it doesnt cost that much. depending on what yr a6 cam u get u may need a cam gear.

 

Call up Paul Walker and have him hook ya' up with 1,000 shot of NNNAAWWWWSSSS.

 

You want your car to be quick well how quick is quick to you is it TURBO quick or just Mustang QUICK or maby even 2 fast 2 furous quick? hummmmm..........

I vote going DOHC yep that's were it is at

I guess i'd like to match up with a Stang GT, that would be enough for me. Taking it would be nice, but i'd like to at least match it.

Now, the DOHC, is that the mini-me swap? I was told that I should go for an LS block, with a vtec top half, but I'm not looking to swap the whole engine.

 

crane cam for d16a6 would work. Intake from JG or Skunk 2 will add some. Bigger injectors if you get a bigger cam. A si/ex trans will help having a better final drive. The real question is it worth it? Not to me. Id say get a b series then turbo that. A sohc turbo will be fast but in stock form is not as strong as a b series.

 

best thing for you to do is, to get a z6 or y8 head. y8 IM, maybe a header, p28 ecu. maybe a B series 60mm TB
I would say good for like maybe 110 at the wheels

Want more N/A power get a zex cam they seem to be pretty cheap and good
