im pretty sure there isnt, unless you convert to MPFI and get an jumper harness, and i still dont think that will do much

someone please correct me if i am wrong.

your d15 wont do **** with any chip.

the engine is just not made for performance. do some more research before you start throwing money away on parts that will just make the engine louder without adding any real power

manny if they are not made for performance then why can they take a lot of vehicles off the start even stock. they turn up very fast because of all the light parts. if u did enough to these, u could take a lot of tuners. the 1.5 crankshaft is 11 pounds lighter then a 1.6.

Hahahahahahha... ok, so your hatch beats other slow cars

a stock d15 does NOT turn up really fast

i'm not trying to be a total *****, i'm trying to tell you that it is not worth the money you will spend to mod a completely stock d15.

if you want to stay d series, go for it, there are a lot of very powerful build out here. do a lot of research and i'm sure you'll find the best path for your goals and budget.
