i've driven my sol stock now for just over a year and a half and am looking to get a little more oomph off of her. The question is, to swap or not to swap. Currently shes running bone stock on a d15b. However the D has seen better days and is starting to have a few issues that make me not trust it (anthropomorphically, not necessarily mechanically). So do i fix the issues with the D or go junkyard a b series and open a whole new can of troubleshooting worms? as a sidenote, the problems with the D would be easy fixes aside from a phantom problem with my fuel system. Sometimes my car just doesnt start, with no real rhyme or reason.

 

TO SWAPP!! get a b16, reliable, vtec, and more power.

 

swap it.

 

What are you doing with the car? Do you want more power, or just reliability? Power: B18. Reliability: fix what you have.

 

I'm definitely looking for some more power, but i dont think boost is the way to go How about reliable power? I'd love a K but dont have that kind of dinero!!!

 

Non-VTEC B series. They're cheaper to replace than to rebuild.

 

I'm a fan of d series but I say just swap. A b16 would be nice in there.

 

Work with what you have, save some money.

 

I'm kinda leaning that direction AxM. Where does one begin when building a non vtec d15 though? i've been looking for sources of some go fast bits, but i feel like the D's don't get the same support the B's do. am i just not looking hard enough?
