Hi there! I have an amazing low mileage 1996 (140000KM) del sol with the mighty mouse in her. (1.5) Standard 5 speed, looking to get a little more power out of it but not changing the engine as this little beauty is tried tested and true. Are there turbo options as available? I'm new to Honda power systems, what I'm asking is without an engine swap is there any point?... Thoughts?

 

The D15B7 (1.5L) motor has a weak bottom end and won't really handle a turbo very well. You'd have to have it so tuned down to keep it safe and reliable it's not funny.

You need to swap the engine to turbo or get more power.

Or if you can find the right year D16A6 camshaft you can do the Beast7 mod after a solid tune and get more power. You might need to swap out the valve springs, depending on if Honda used the B7 springs or were still in the state of out of stock so using the A6 springs in the interim like they chose to do for the '95.
