i am thinking of swaping in a d15b motor into my eg si, i would just like to know the potential of these motors, i have heard that they are real strong motors, i was wondering if i can have some input, list your set-ups with the motor, and quarter mile times,

thanks

 

There is someone here on H-T that has a Turbo D15b makin like 206@ the wheels!
Anyway... I love mine. Strong little motor. But sorry no track times and it's in an EF

 

is there possible power without a turbo,

whats done to yours?

 

I just have I/H/E. But like anything else it all depends on how much you want to spend. I'm sure there is a lot of potential in this motor though

 

dont the eg si's come with d16z6 motor in them stock... thats basicaly the same motor

 

yeah but mine has 130k on it, kind of tired, need something fresh, i have there quite a bit more powerful than a z6, i have never riden in one, so i dont know

 

o well, if that motor has been takin care of boost it, still could have a lot of life left in it.

 

hey man,

the d15b is an alright motor, gets decent gains when you modify it but it's a hell of alot harder to source parts with as alot of the measurements are different than say the d15b7 persay or the d16z6..I got one in my EG right now, it's a VX chassis, engines got about 100,000 on it and is dieing (it's been put through alot).

My suggestion man, stick with the z6, you got alot more options with that and a whole range of areas to go, plus it has a nicer powerband IMO. I'll be swappin my d15b for a z6 soon enough

 

From what I understand the D15b is basically a Vx block mated with a z6 head. The part# for the timing belt is exactly the same as a Vx. The only trouble I have run into is finding an aftermarket camshaft. I like it

 

the d15b if tuned right can rip, i have one in my cx hatchback and i love the response i get out of this motor good motor with good potential

 

Ive heard that it has the same great bore/stroke ratio as a B16, which makes it reliable for power upwards of 400hp. But unfortunately most people don't know that it exists. I'm surprised that no magazines have tackled the issue. It would be nice to have a running series where they test other D series parts for fitment.

bore to stroke or rod to stroke? i dont know, don't ask me.

 

I think it would be more practical to spend the money and rebuild the Z6, maybe with some higher compression pistons or something. Either that or you could sell the Z6 to offset the cost of the D15.

Its got the best R/S ratio of like 1.62? Its the same as the B17a gsr engine..

I got one and its goin in this weekend gonna be boosted at the same time too.. Oh boy

 

Its an excellent engine, read HERE all about it (taken from TOVA)
