Default d15b7 Budget Build

So right now I have a bone stock d15b7 and looking to do some things to it besides I/H/E.

Throttle body/Intake manifold
-Will throttle bodies and intake manifolds from z6 & y8 be compatible with my motor?
-Is it worth the transition, will I make any extra power?

Cam
-Will cam's from the z6 & y8 be compatible with my head?
-Is the d15b cam my best bet besides aftermarket?
(keeping valvetrain stock)

what other things OEM/budget that I can do?

thanks

mine startet the same way, but when the bottom end let go I ported and polished the head & added a y8 intake manifold. good little bump in power along with I/H/E

Do a mini me set-up. Dirt cheap, easy, and will be your best bet for power as far as being on a budget and wanting OEM parts.

No z6/y8 cams are not compatible.

Yes a different TB/IM on your b7 will be a complete waste of your time and money.

you can rock a z6 intake manifold with a da ls throttle body, and if you don't want to swap heads you can get a SOHC zc or d16a6 cam and mate it with a y7 or a y8 cam gear and get some more power out of that (i did both of those in my civic, feels good). and from what i've been told the z6 header is a little bit better flowing than the b7, so you can try that too

if you try to run faster underwater, you're still going slow but getting tired quicker.

but the combo he listed is good for 118 whp..............like it did in 1999 and has been proven by two other separate sources.

D15B7, IHE, stock cat, A6 cam, Z6 intake, Y7/Y8 OEM cam gear = 135 chp/118 whp.
