Best Power Option for D15B7
I'm looking for a little more power without doing any internal work or head work. I just put a new head on and the block looked in good shape. I would like maybe 50 more HP. Anyone with a suggestion, I would appreciate it.
If I were to turbo, would replacing the pistons with new stock be worth it?
As you can see I'm a bit of a noob.

d15/16's are difficult to get much power out of without boosting or spending a lot of money, your best option IMO is to swap in a b16/18 you can get a complete b18c1 from hmotors for 2500

If I had the money and time I would no doubt have that done already. I am just looking for a little more power to deal with all the hills. Its real bad around here. I guess I'm just out of luck with this motor. I'll save up for a B swap.
Money wise...boosting b7 to around 250 hp vs. B swap including install???

Ok so this is probably a stupid question. Does the B16a fit directly into a 92 lx 4 door without changing any mount locations and electronics and such?

you will need to run some wiring.
mounts are not moved.
it's a very easy affair, which is why it's so popular.
