i have a del sol w/ a d15b7. i want a more power. what can/should be done to this engin to gain more go. not sure on my set up yet, just looking for any positive advice. thanks

 

125 shot of ZEX should add some HP

 

a big bank account.

 

what mods do you have now?

 

turbo

 

nothing, just bought it, only thing i have it all the hoses done in aqueriquip stainless hose

 

any special kind of turbo?
or set up

 

Greddy SOHC kit, 10 psi

 

People say a crx si cam is a good little upgrade.

 

ex/si tranny, mini me (if u want mad vtec), maybe some port/polish headwork, cam (as mentioned above)... turbo and if you wanna go cheap just source your parts from a eclipse/talon. thats what i'm doing now + tranny and some head, fuel and other misc work. search some and you'll find answers

 

if you're looking to stay with with that motor, or at least a d-series.. then an ex/si tranny is a must! (assuming its a 5spd.)

 

u should ask liam821 for some help. he had a d15 all motor crx. i got some info from him. the car sounded awesome.

 

i have a del sol with a d15b7 as well,
were brothers jp i must say it may not be the fastest thing out there. I'd say get the nitrous if you want some power.

 

EX/Si Trans. aftermarket clutch/flywheel, bolt-ons & nitrous.

 

DIY turbo kit.

 

Bump for no damn snow in ohio

 

if your gonna turbo the stock d15, i wouldnt put more than 5-6 psi on the stock rods, they are paper thin

Get an Ex/SI tranny. and then make your own turbo kit. i was running 7.5 till i blew my headgasket because i had a big air bubble in my coolent lines. i forgot to bleed it, and went on a 1.5hr drive, and was in boost the hole time.

i was running 0-60 in 7sec, and 0-90 in 15 sec. so 15 flat isn't bad considering it was a stock engine, tranny and CLUTCH. i glazed the clutch and somehow brought it back to life.

i had a total of 2000 in the car. 92 civic sedan, Nice CDplater, 1600watt amp, sub, original engine was shot so i bought a used DX motor for 200. so u can peice your own kit together for about 800bucks. mine even had a FMIC and custom exhaust.

EX/SI tranny, 10 psi on a custom turbo kit, upgrade your exhaust, and enjoy it.

Adding a VTEC head to a non vetc engine

 

i've heard of that, what can you expect a far as power gains? or preformance?

 

you would be better off to invest the money towards the turbo setup than the head IMO.....although it is a good mod you will be looking at spending $200-$500 and closer to the $500 range if you do a really nice job and use new gaskets,etc.... so you could be halfway to your turbo set-up with that $500 and you wont have to worry about swapping in a si/ex trans($2-300)because the long gears wont really matter with the boost. so now you have $800 toward your kit and with the time you save not doing the head/trans mods you can get a job and make some more cash towards the turbo. judging by your questions i can kind of gauge your honda knowledge so i would suggest a greddy or apexi kit because of their simplicity.
