I just bought a 93 hatch with a d15 and cant stand how slow it is! I was wondering what everbodys opininon was to buidling my d15 or just swapping a b series... would i make good power with a d series or is it not worth it! Any advice would be great or if anybody has a cheap b series that they are looking to sell! thank you!

 

only real way to make power with the d series is to boost it. If you wanna stay N/A get a b series, or H

 

It's honestly just according to what you would want.. do you have a d15 vtec or d15 non vtec?? If you have the money and would like a single cam to stay in the car, you could buy a z6 and build it.. Or you could swap it and build a b series... it's all about the money mainly..

 

I'd switch the d15 for a d16a6/z6/y8 and throw a t3 turbo on. Parts are going to be a lot cheaper for the d series.
If you decide to go B Series i have a b18b from a 94 teg that i would let go cheap.($150) Located in Hanover, PA...

 

u said it already so!!! want more power go B series, H series or K series it depend on how ur goal u have wide range of choices.....

 

swap a B series. its a very easy swap and your car will be much faster

 

it is non vtec i just want it to be a decently quick car for cheap and if i bought a d16 vtec and put a t3 on it should i build internals of the motor or what would you recommend? definitily would love to turbo the hatch!! anybody know what power i could make with the different options!?? sorry for all the questions just new to this!

 

well you could put a t3 turbo on it and boost it on stock internals but have it tuned for it.. it's really just according to how much money you want to spend.

 

B swap.

 

You can make about 200-220whp on a d16 with stock internals and a good tune.

Do some reading in this thread...
I've rocked both b's and d's. I personally like working with the underdog.

 

If you wana build a d series i have a 1.6 zc which is the jdm version of the d16z6...It ran strong for a d series in my 95 coupe

 

If you stick with the D, boost it...I think it's a waste to build an N/A SOHC IMO.Now if you went B,H, or K I would build it all motor (Cause boost on a DOHC can be expensive) It all really depends on your budget. I think you'll be more then happy with a DOHC motor.

 

I'd probably swap in a LS motor, you can find some for cheap and notice the difference.
