already searched it. but doesnt help me out. because the stuff thats done to my hatch already. so i wanted to figure out what would go good with the setup i already have..

i was thinking boost. but idk what all i would need to do that also so that it wouldnt blow or mess my head up or anything.

i wanna do a build and maybe boost later but just want help from others to see what sounds good. because idk where to start with those mods already done

 

whats your compression?

 

umm.. not sure i can prob. check it tomm. i gotta go to my uncles shop and see when i can get a chance to paint my car and i'll see if he has the guages to check my compression ...

 

its probably close to stock compression ratio...

esentially a jdm d15b block with pm5 pistons (stock d15b2) and a z6 head is basically a d15b2 with a mini me swap

 

yeah but it has those cams, and with those you can tell a huge diff. from a stock mini-me swapped motor ... and i really do mean a huge diff. i'll get some better pics and maybe some videos of the car when i can. but im trying to find out some stuff that would be good to do so when i get my taxes back i can do the stuff

 

Go to track and post your time slip. I want to see how huge the difference is.

 

i'll go to the track whenever i get a chance ....i gott fix some problems with the car at the moment, get new brakes and front alignment, and some other minor things .... then i'll go ... it kept up no problem with my friends 00 SI on the way home from picking it up ... but we only went like 100tops .... but he didnt pull away .. so i mean you cant say it doesnt pull way/ run alot better than most basically stock sohc's

 

dont boost. to many problems

 

i got a turbo and a manifold for cheap. if you wanna go boost.

 

change your tranny to a si tranny itll make a big diffrence from the dx u got

 

change the tranny to a zc and make a bigger differance than the SI plus add a light weight flywheel. if the compression isnt 190+ mill the head more and get a timing gear for it to really wake up that cam

 

i kinda fixed the exhuast by putting soem temporary hangers on my exhuast .. and when i did so for some reason i can feel the exhuast hitting my shifter and scraping on it ... i think its because my car has no cat ... i really do wanna swap a diff. tranny in it ... does the zc tranny bolt straight up to a 91 chassis and a jdm d15b motor

 

figuring out your compression is not going to tell you your comp. ratio lol.

 

what do you mean by comp ratio? i thought you meant compression and was just abbreviating it ... sorry about that ... oh and how do i go about checking if i have a ccoolant leak ... i m pretty sure i have to because i refilled my coolant last night and this morning i had coolant on my driveway but didnt see where or feel where it came from ..... but wheh n i start the car theres a hose from the block to i think something that connects that hose to another and runs to the heater or something .. idk ... its on the back left side of the block and runs towards the firewall ... but like i was saying when i have the car running and all i can rub my finger where it connects and iwill have coolant on my hand .. but i dont understand why it wouldnt be there when the car isnt running and sits over night ... cause when i look under the car it looks like it drips from that exact place where the hose is ...

 

he never said z6 head just intake manifold and look at the head in the adjust cam gear thread its non vtec (the way to be especially in single cam)

 

still wanna know what some of you guys think i should do to start outwith upgrading this sohc

 

don't listen to this guy. There are plenty of threads to get info on here. If done AND tunedproperly, a boosted setup will run nicely and give you a good kick in the pants.

 

is there any way to add vtec to my motor?

 

So you have a non vtec d15b? I would go to D-series.org. Much more help then here.

 

d-series.org ftmfw

the guys on ther will tell you everything you need to know about building a d-series motor.

 

yeah i had blown a head gasket becasue of coolant leak but as i was taking everything about i found that my heater house was coroating and was falling apart. It was leaking pretty bad but yeah if you do have a prob with that hose get it replaced they are cheap easy to find and can save you lots of money if you coolant leaks constanly. just wish i found mine sooner lol. its at the bottom of the head under the dizzy pretty easy. hope i helped your leak out :p
