Default What do i need to make DECENT power from d15b7

well i rode in a friends Evo tonight and decided....i need more f&(*in power!! im not lookin to go crazy with it, stock internals...maybe a small turbo pushin like 5 or 6 psi...its currently a DPFI d15b7 because i dont have all the shyt for MPFI(ecu and wiring harness, and plus im scared of wires) right now all it has is a CAI..it does ok but its just not fast enough...i wanna be able to actually race someone then just look over at them and smile and just go about my business lol..its a 91 hatch with the shitty 4 speed, which is gettin swaped for a SI tranny soon as i can find one locally. Any non-vtec head i can swap to give it a lil more compression??i really dont wanna go vtec cuz like i said before, im scare of wires ...what would be a safe whp range for a stock internal b7??

If you are "scared of wires" your best bet is to just drive the car as is.

When you build some courage, do a home made turbo. There is a local guy here with a little turbo on his hatch, spools at about 2k. Hes using a HF mani with adaptor plate, and he has a 4 speed as well. Runs 9 psi, the little thing is quick and ugly...a killer combination

D series + Turbo = little more power
B or K series + Turbo = more power
B or K Series + turbo + NOS = Even more power.


Your choice.

But it's also a lot of power.

Wires = Power?
