Default Honda Engine Tech's chime in please.

Hello, i am totally new to the honda thing, i have a 1991 civic 4dr dx which i think is a d15b2 correct me if im wrong, but it looks like this is the weakest of them all and just wondering i want to do some engine work to it...but nobody seems to make anything for this, so what do you guys suggest, im looking for a aggressive cam and maybe some forged internals for good boost or juice in the future..i dont know which motor it is, but it seems like the sohc vtec is popular? i dont want to swap motors in this maybe a head though, and i want something i can build up and just tear up.....sorry if im considered a noob on here haha this is my DD well was my DD for a few years, my racer is a 98 trans am ws6 with a quite a bit of my money tied up into it.

Sooo, just looking for advice on what would work well for my d15b2, its not going to be a full blown build, but i want to maybe beef it up a little bit...no bolt ons though, even though it will restrict it.. im okay with that..

So anybody please help. thanks in advance

-Nick

It's good for gas millage that's it. If your interested in getting more power this is not the motor for you. As far as other swaps go just check the "Search" and the Civic/CRX FAQ's and you should find every bit of info needed to make a good decision on what motor to get.

Yea if you want to keep the same block I would swap on a z6 or y8 head and convert to obd1 and mpfi. Mill the head a little and use a thinner headgasket to bump the compression some. Search for mini-me

You should join the EF sedan squad.

If you wanna get a little crazy, bisi got into the 10's with a D15

Just search "mini-me" and you will see a lot of what you are asking for....
