bobtheracerguy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Ok so I have have an 88 civic hatch with a d15b1 and i was wondering what the hell the little box on top of the intake manifold is and what it does, the intake attaches to it and i havent really looked into it too much but what i was wondering is if it is going to affect me turboing it or not because like i said i have no clue what it is..... so any help about this and anything else with this engine would be really helpful cause i am kinda new to the whole honda thing.

eg9-civic Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 D15B1 1.5 8V SOHC PGM-FI 1493 70hp@5500rpm 83tq@3000rpm '88-'?? Civic you probably dont want to turbo that motor. the rods are really small and would break like nothing swap the motor first.. if you want sohc go with a d16z6 or d16y8 if you want dohc then go with like a ls swap (b18a1 or b18b1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90CRex Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 d15b is near identical to d16z6. u want single vtec get one outta a jUnkyard and save on the shipping. but zc engines make pretty good power under Boost if u want different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kegger Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The D17 is about the most pointless swap in the world. Go with a D16Z6, you'll be much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 yes you can use your stock tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eg9-civic Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 f*ck all that... you def. dont want the stock motor 1. the rods/ internals are weak. 2. its dpfi (2 injectors) 3. if you turbo this motor you will be at about the same horse as a d16z6 stock. 4. given number 3... your friend will still beat you hes pushin over 160hp. if it was me and i didnt want vtec i would go with a b20 and turbo that crap.

bobtheracerguy Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 umm how much and what do i need to make it work in my civic??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetic04 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 ZC LongBlocks work great Non-Vtec they have Cast blocks they went to Aluminum in the early 90's Theyre good for Turbo so Far they handle about 6psi stock internals 8psi is pushing it a little. you can use the D15B7 and get Suzuki Vitara Pistons Bore out your block to a 1.6L (BEST) or get a D16Z6 Block(OK) The good thing of the Vitara pistons is that they have a Strong coating on the pistons that they almost act like Forged pistons they work good when there heated. So far Rumors are that they handle 20PSI of boost with no problems your also gonna need a Turbo camshaft that would work great theres some Stage 2 Turbo Cams for $249.99 on ebay with free shipping designed by CROWER CAMS. Me personally i would get a D15B7 Motor, Forged 1.5L internals, then your gonna need a OBD1 Conversion Harness. Theres also a 1.6 DOHC motor from the 1987 Acura Integra the D16A1 i think.
