SolLesHonda Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I am really thinking about getting a header and a hi-flow cat. I heard a couple civics with the random technology cat, and I/H/E, and it sounded awesome. Most of them said they noticed a significant difference when they got it. Not only in sound at idle and WOT, but also in power. What do you think ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 what are you running now? i have heard good things about random technology high flow cat, so i'd say go for it. header is definitly a good upgrade, BUT... do you plan on swapping your engine out/going turbo? because if you do this mod will only be a waste.

CleanGSR Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think modding a D15 is like well....... modding a D15. (couldn't think of anything as stupid to compare it to. Oh here we go, modding a D15 is like having a hot sister, you really wanna mess around with it, but it's just not worth it. (that one wasn't too good either) Point is why would you mod your D15 to knock a tenth off your already high 16 qm. This is twice as dumb an idea since you are planning on swapping motors anyway.

SolLesHonda Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well the thing is, I am not going to be able to swap the motor anytime soon ... I don't know about the header, but I want a high flow cat. That could stay on the car regardless the motor is swapped or not. But I have some other things I have to be paying for, like college, which unfortunately is more important. I want a B16, no doubt, but I have rust on the car I want to get rid of, and figure I am going to paint it then. And you'd be surprised how quick the little d15 is now that I have done some little things. It isn't fast at all, but I have ran some civic si's with b16, and didn't really lose until the end of third gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 No offense but I call bullcrap that your d15 kept up with a b16 si until 3rd. My car hauls ass once I hit vtec and I would hand you your ass in by the end of first. Friend of mine had an 99 SI and would have been the same deal. I'm not sure if the suspension stuff from your car would fit, but you should put your car back to stock, sell it, buy mine and put all your suspension stuff on mine and call it a day.

SolLesHonda Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 It will fit ... and I'm not saying I was winning, if you read what I wrote, it said I didn't really lose until 3rd .. that means he started kicking my ass in 3rd >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My B16 and my friends SI would spank you by the end of first (not third) and by the time you got to the end of third I'd already be at your mothers house.

Humphries Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i think you meant he started getting on it at 3rd then he passed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 solless is gettin ripped a new one today when i had my b16 sol, before turbo, i raced an ls hatch. he stayed with me until i hit third. i couldnt imagine the poor ol d15 doing that. i just dont think its possible.

CleanGSR Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I agree. I would say the B16 he "raced" was just driving normal and around 3rd gear realized that the poor D15 was racing and actually gave it some gas. Seriously though, if you can keep up with a B16 until 3rd why would you ever consider swapping that motor? You could throw a low boost turbo on it and outrun S2000's. And for the record, I doubt a boosted D15 would be faster than a B16 with bolt ons and if so, not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyH22 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i use3d to drive a d16 del sol, then i swapped in a d15 and its slower than my frackin balls. and i've driven a b16 del sol, but i think it was jakked up cause it wasnt that fast.

airjordan223 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 yeah i have a d15 in mine so i feel the pain. i still love my car tho. it handles great and 1st and second gear are fun....and then i drove my uncles 350 Z from jersey to vermont, and then to school the next day. wow is all i have to say. all six gears keep you pinned in your seat. and of course i told everyone at school it was mine...it was a good day. then i drove my sol home, and well thers no comparison between a 350 Z and a d15. but i do get like 30 miles to the gallon so thats good.

xxscaxx Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Z's arent really that fast, but they are pimp as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 350 Z's sound pretty sweet from the factory. They are pretty quick, well, considering I have the D15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 im pretty sure its puttin out 287hp which is pretty good for a 2 seater, especially compared to a d15. my brother and i just convinced him to put a turbo on it, we just gotta find a nice setup for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 i wasnt trying to rip on them, just was sayin. they do sound awesome, but from the factory i think g35's win that contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 g35 looks and feels better and sure its heavier but thats what you want when you get backseats and a navigation system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
