Enlighten me people. Stock D15Z1. Car came with a different cluster and the car has no top end, just revs freely, almost like it could rev for ever.

Seems like it has no power over 5500/6000rpm

 

7k, I think.

 

STOCK redline on VX is 6000 RPM

 

 

Oops, , I thought it was high for some reason.

 

you got a vx or planning to buy one?

 

I'm gonna but the engine in my CRX one of these days when I get a deal on one.

 

Rev it till it stops making power and then shift.

 

Thanks guys. Yea my friend got a vx. I gotta tell you, it's the shittiest engine ev4r man. It does stop making power at about 5k, then it sounds like it's about to blow

I'm doing his mini-me this weekend, I was just wondering.

 

redline is 6k but the fuel cuts off somewhere in the 6250 zone

 

thought about turbo? That's what I did.

 

My friend is a cheap bastard

I would not necessarily call the D15Z1 a crappy motor. Rather, it is a motor built for a purpose: high fuel economy. It was never intended to make power. And you would be hard-pressed to make it do so. Rather, if power is what you want, swap the motor out for something that is more workable. Even a stock 1992-1995 DX motor has more potential when it comes to HP. Then find someone to sell your D15Z1 to. With gas prices as high as they are (and as high as they are believed to go this summer), someone will certainly give you $100 or so for that motor. The D15Z1 has become somewhat popular as a fuel economy swap.

 

i got a dx i makes as good a power as a d15 can until redline. and i get 45 mpg!!!
