More power without a swap

I heard that you can put a bigger head on a engine and it will have the same or more power than a mini me swap! I have a d15B7 and I wanted to know how I can increase power without swapping the motor, and is it possible to make this engine get 130hp? Im still new to the wonderful world of honda!

There are only 1 or 2 other heads you can put on that motor. And they both make it a mini me "swap". It's more of a conversion than anything else.

You're best bet is the D16Z6 head. But you'll need more than just a head. You'l get 25hp maybe.

I say you do the "mini me" swap and then spray a 50 shot. I had a D16y8 and i had full bolt ons and a ZEX stage 1 cam and Skunk2 cam gear and i was sprayin a 50shot into it and when i got tuned i put dwn 143whp and 118lbs of torq. I say is you want to make descent power out of a SOHC ether spray or boost!

haha!

Re: More power without a swap (SuperSonikBluEK)

doing a mini-me build would give you about the same hp as a stock d16z6
