Arrow is it worth for me to swap a d15 b

i have a stock d15 b7 102 hp with 220 000 km wondering if it is worth for me to swap d15 b with 130hp and if that engine is fairly peppy or not and what the best mods to do to it are need swap and need low price thx.

D15b's are great engines. It's comparable to the d16z6. In all honesty, the best mod you can do on a d-series is go forced induction. You can piece together a homemade turbo kit for $1000-$2000. The best part about it is that turbo increases horsepower AND torque.

k, so for a D15B. and want pep, what car do u have?

well this is what my friend has. a 92 civic hatchback, with ZC block and D15B head and tranny. he has a cold air, a header and full exhaust. he also has crap tires that are bald and he ran 15.4 at cayuga. I say decent pep for N/A with small bolt ons.

u may not want to try it but its ideas and its really cheap.

you want to spend 1800 bucks on the whole thing? If so you cannot get a turbo and all its components for that just to let you know.

it should be way cheaper! Are you putting the engine in your self? or getting a shop to do it? Because if you do it your self its easy.

the money you spend on a d15b, you can find yourself a nice b18b motor

well a b18b is from a LS/GS integra, as for a gsr (b18C1), not much has to be done to the exhaust, i think it just needs to be cut and shortened
