ok so i was on the sohc comp calc and i figured out what parts im gonna use........

BLOCK-d15b2
HEAD-d16y8
PISTONS-p29/pm7 (zc)
RODS-d15b2
GASKET-d16y8 2 layer

FINAL COMP 11.33 to 1

ok so my question is has anyone tried this setup and how did it turn out? how much hp and tq can i expect to get out of this....

 

actually i just installed a very similar setup into my friends car yesterday. hes running a y7 head though, let me tell you this, WHAT A BEASTLY D SERIES FOR CHEAP!!!!

i thought my hatch i previously owned was quick with my d15b2 stock bottom end and y7 head. my buddies is so much faster with the p29 pistons in his. and ive got another friend who is parting his crx, has a similar HC engine in it. he pumped out 163 whp and 130 ftlbs of torque.

so on a tune, i say anywhere from 140-160 is highly possible.

 

now thats serious SOHC power. im gona bulid one like this now thanx for the inspiration

 

well if u go to the comp calc and do it with the 1.6 block then u can get 12.5:1 comp but i wanna stay with the 1.5 thanks for the info can u be specific with the hc sohc in that crx what internals head and block did he use thanks guys i will keep u updated.....also i am getting domed zc pistons wich will raise the comp a lil more so hopefully ill be in the 160 hp range or higher good luck let me know if u need any help
