i have a 91 civic hatch, and i am wondering what everyone's opinion is on the easiest way to up horsepower. engine swap or turbo? i found a zc with tranny for $795, which says it has around 130 horse. how much horsepower would i gain from boosting my d15 with a t3 turbo?

 

Not really sure, but I think you can also build a "mini me" with your D15 block. I'm not sure how well a D15 can handle boost. I don't think you'll see much of a gain going from D15 to ZC either, I drive a civic hatch with a ZC and it wasn't that impressive.

The search feature is great

 

the best way to boost horsepower is boost

 

What sort of Civic is it? If it's an Si I say HMT booostage!

 

thanks for the posts.
im new to hondas so i dont really know what a "mini me" is. hopefully the process of building it up wont take long, because right now my non-si hatch is my only car.
i need projects that i can do on the weekend.

plz explain the whole mini me thing. thanks.

I have a 90 hb and i was wondering to go with the h22a1 or just turbo the engine in it know?

 

go ZC turbo duel cams and turbo..who needs vtec right? either that or resleeve for stronger block and the secret weapon........nos

 

What kind of power can you expect out of a d series on ~7 pounds with tuning?

 

do anyone have 1/4 mile time slips with turbo on a d series and what kind of whp are we looking to get out of that

 

Just keep in mind that non-built boosted D-motors are grenades.

 

get two of the big bottles, and say you need them by tonite.

^^^^ very true, btw get the swap man, sure a boosted d series would give you some power but then you realize that you just got beat by a stock b16...sure you turbo a d series and maybe get into the 14's WOW your stuck at 14 seconds, or else you can do even a b18(integra) swap and then run 14's stock and then boost it

 

put a bunch of stickers on it and a huge wing, then cut off you muffler and add a "pipe" with a tip (crome fo sho!). This set up is good for and extra 10hp. oh yeah get some reverse hammers 15" (old school USDM)!
