hey what are the best junk yard parts for a d15b7? like... head, intake mani, exhaust mani, tb, tranny, and so on. my car is so slow and weak it wont go up a damn hill. lol. but im not really into the whole rice thing. i just need some more power any help would be great, thanks.

save your money, buy parts that will make a difference in power and not "rice" and you'll be ok...just research and do it right..dont cheap out and cut corners or you'll end up with crap

 

i did kinda want to put a big chunk of money into the suspenson but other then that. i was planing on driving with the single cam till it blows. i dont want to have much money into it. but i am able to get my hands on pass me down parts from friends every once in a while. i was just wondering what would help or what to be on the look out for.

 

Do an engine swap...it'll cost you 1000 at most to swap in a complete D15B vtec.

 

thats a good idea, i was checking those out on ebay the other day. any tips on anything ill end up running into going that route?

 

if your going to drop a 1000 you might as well look into an LS swap

 

Look for an Ex/Si man trans. Swap everything. Rinse. Repeat.

 

Swap or boost.

The B7 is an economy motor, it is not meant for power and has even less torque - torque is what gets you up hills.

EDIT:
You can dump 1k in parts in it and still only have 20+ hp.

If you wanna waste your time picking up an Ex/Si trans (shortest D series USDM for 5g civics) go for it - You might be like "wow, definitely feels better" - but you sure as expletive wont' be like "OMG OMG HOLY **** I'M OWNING THIS HILL"

Small difference at best.

Definitely not worth it IMO.

go to the JY and pick up both a EX/Si manual transmission and a d16z6 head, then you may be able to make a little more power outta your little b7.

 

Just sell your car and get a swapped another swapped car for a little more or the same value (It's just another "option")

 

wow, this is awesome! thanks for all the ideas. i think im leaning toward the d15b now. what do you all think of that? i dont have much money but i could maybe afford that some time soon. plus i will have extra stuff if anything breaks. the d15b has vtec and around 130hp and 112 lbs right? compresson is about 9.5:1 what would you guys think of putting a jackson on it later? the outside of the car would be bone stock lol. nobody would ever expect that.

thanks

 

dizzle, you can get a full b18b swap with everything you need for 1000 or less. I'll help ya find something. You could put 500 bucks in the d-series and you still wont be nearly satisfied as a b powerplant. Were puttin the d series in the lake along with mine.

 

thanks matt. might as well spend all my money and do ls-vtec now lol.
