first off I'm looking at putting in the d15-b vtec in my crx, whats the difference between the longblock and short block? i was told the long block was better for running a turbo but i wanna make sure first. 2nd question, i plan on swapping my auto tranny with a 5 speed. I need to figure out what all i need. as far as i know the only extra part i need is the pedal kit. But i'm sure it's more then that. thanks 4 any info

 

Long block is complete motor..Block and head with manifolds most of the time..Shortblock is just the block..(Bottem end only)

 

damn i was way off. good thing i got a place like this to get the right info. thanks alot. is the d15 b a good motor to run a turbo with?

Yeah thats a good number..Get a small size turbo like a t3 or 14b,and get good management,,You could get 200whp with the stock motor and fuel system,,But its in the tuning..

 

200 whp would b sweet.What's the max psi i could safely run?do you have any info about what i'd need to change from auto to manual?

 

MAx psi..? I dont know ,,Id stop at around 200whp,,and the stock map sensors are only good to around 10-11psi anyway..
