I am curious as to how strong this block is. I know the head has an 8 valve design, but i wanna know if the block is significantly different from the other 1.5L motors. I picked one up as a temporary replacement while i build my a6. I am wanting to put an a6 head on the b8 block with the a6 intake manifold and drive it like that, maybe boost it, but i wasnt sure if the block was like extra weak or anything. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

 

not sure but i think the only diff between the 1.5s is the ports/valves, you have an 8 valve (96 hp) and then there is a 16 valve (106 hp i think) but other than that i can't think of any diff

 

Yep, 8 valves of awesome gas mileage and 70 hp lol. BTW: I had some spinna hubcaps, and it was fun to get laughed at by people then smoke em. All while playin "I'm ridin spinnaz" in the background lolol.

lol...thats fawking awsome, "i ride spinnas, i ride spinnas, they doen't stop"

 

dude that motor sucks ***. i had one of those motors and i just had to run it into the ground.

 

i dont know much about those d15s, but i suggest join up on
http://www.d-series.org
for specific d series answers!

 

I plan on boosting mine within the next 2 months.

My friend said he talked to a guy at the track with a boosted B8 and the guy was running 13.7's.

 

boosting a cx engine?
ya better get a vtec head and some built internals.

 

Yea i know its a shitty engine. But i wanna see what it can do. I had my a6 goin high 13's on street tires. I figure i could at least get this into the low 14's with an a6 head and intake mani. I mean it'd last like a week, but it'd be a fun week.

 

stock internals on at least a d16y7 can withstand 200 plus whp........on boost

The 1.6L's have stronger rods and can hold about 200WHP safely. The 1.5's on the other hand have toothpick rods and can handle about ~170 WHP safely. As far as I know the B7 and B8 blocks are identical. I'm running about 6psi with my greddy kit on my B7 1.5L block, and that's good enough for me

Cause we all know it takes a vtec head and internals to have a reliable turbo setup. Dont tell me what I "need".

Anyways, the B8 is temporary. As soon as the clutch goes, in goes a motor with 16 valves.

 

well i didnt really mean a vtec head. what i really ment was a 16 valve head and pistons.
my bad assjack.

Name calling.

Before you make a statement atleast "figure out what you mean."

And I still have no idea wtf you mean by "I better get a 16v head and pistons."
What exactly are you trying to suggest? GTFO out of this guys thread, you havent had anything positive to say but a link to a forum.

 

the reason i gave him the link to that forum is because he would probably find the info he need there.
and btw its called sarcasm.

 

Your sarcasm sucks and is by far the fursthest thing away from funny.

You mind quoting what exactly you were being sarcastic about? I guess im an idiot for not being able to detect it in typing.

 

get over it dood, im not trying to argue with you or "make " you do anything.
i just offer my .02 in here.
it would just seem logical on getting an 16v head and pistons for bettter power.
gosh!

 

Im not trying to have a pissing contest either. Well the guy is trying just asking what can be done with it. He is already building an A6.

 

yes i know.
alot of people dont know that of the d-series engines , the A6 is one of the best.
i have a full z6 in my ej1 right now.
im building a z6 with d16a1( dohc zc ) rods and pistons in my crx.
lol, the crx right now might way 700 lbs. so with the engine, trans and me in it, it should way roughly 1200-1300 lbs. i think that thing should scoot. hah

How does the CX-T perform in your car lol? I'm debatin on boostin it with the stock head just cus it'll be hilarious.
Also does anyone have any idea what this does to compression? I tried the calculator but it doesnt list the d15b8 block specifically (unless all the d15's are the same and use the same pistons and rods) but with the a6 head i believe it raises the compression to 9.5:1

 

1300 pounds with you and gas, and everything to run.............if your telling the truth, boost it, and you should SSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ...................IF YOUR TELLING THE TRUTH THAT IS

 

ohh trust me , im telling the truth. the car is COMPLETLY gutted. all its going to have is engine, trans, ecu, seats and pedals. haha
im not going boost though. too much $$ and alot of problems. im going the cheapest and most positive setup.
ITBs.
its been proven with a d16y8 + tuning with stock internals to put down 143 h.p.
my total investment WILL be less than 500 bucks.
and i think ill be in the 13s.

 

Well for 1 i dont think you can do the b8 turbo even if you change the head because,The pistons are differnt then a 16v there for it wont work rigt with the a6 head imm not sure but i think sooo meant for Gas saver not boost...

If the dude ever ships my setup out ill let you know. Should be complete and tuned in about a month.

Im doing it for the mere fact that its going to be hilarious.

I dont think you're right, but we'll find out when i pull the head. As long as the pistons have valve reliefs then it will work. And i'm not tryin to make 300whp on it. Just tryin to boost it and drive it till my build is done.
