airjordan223 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 this has been a huge debate whether you turbo or supercharge but im just looking for some opinions. i have a d15 motor in my del sol. should i turbo or supercharge it or neither? i want some more horse power but in order to get it i need to do one of the above or just a b16sirII swap. ive put allot of money into the car and im thinking of maybe leaving the motor with the 4-2-1 header, aem cai, and greddy evo2 catback. what do you think?

S14Silvia Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 dont build it, just live with it stock with all its glories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 mista bone has a d15b2 in his 95 hatch. stock block, cam, i/h/e, hydrid trans w/OEM final drive and he beats LS and B20 swaps all day long. I think he has 12xwhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 ok, now i have a d15 in my civic, and i was gonna do a mini-me, afterwards would my redline still be 5800? or would it go to 7200 because of the d16 head? and whoudl that be turboable and still be reliable?

SexyH22 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 you arent changing the bottom end, so the redline wouldnt chage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 IMO, the D15 is junk. it's really not worth building. I know money is probably a bit tight and you don't want to spend a lot of money on a swap or forced induction. if that's the case, keep it all stock and keep the D15 in there. gas prices absolutely suck right now and you'll be angry at the world if you do a swap.

dcletten Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 If you do a mini-me, the redline changes to 7,200. the bottom end will hold with no problem? what about if i turbo after that, not running high boost, maybe 5-7psi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 for the cost of a mini-me and then a turbo, you could probably do a b16sirII swap and most likely have more power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyH22 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 people in slow cars make me laugh. usually if your in that slow of a car, and you win, its because the other person didnt know you were racing them. people pull that crap on me all the time.
