well ive been running 9psi for awhile now, and im kinda worried about how much longer the engine will hold together.
SO i plan to build it completely.
Motor is a: D15b7 .. in a 92 civic dx hatch

what all am i going to need to do a complete built.. becides just .. pistons.. rods.. etc

and where is the best place to find everything im going to need, ive looked around, but havent found much for a d15b7...

any help is accriciated!

thanks alot
nick

Get a D16A6 or Z6 block to build.D15 has limited rod choices etc.You will need the following:
New oil pump
Full gasket kit
Water pump
Timing belt
Tensioner
Bearings
Rings
Machine work.

Studs too I believe sir.

I would definitley step up to a 1.6L, more choices all around for them.

Nick32

what about the head? will i have to build that at all? or will it be fine?

90dx

Good call on that.The D15 head will be fine.You could get it hot tanked,valve job done,new seals and maybe if you got some extra cash get a reground cam with a turbo friendly grind.It all depends on how much money you got.

samson

Thank you. The studs just to keep the head from "lifting" not necessarily a new head build or anything, but I wouldn't know. Get a z6 though.

so what should i look for... just the z6 block? or a complete motor? what?

thanks for all the help

Nick32

oh yea, and i dont have much money to do this, i just want to send what i have to.. so the motor is able to hold the 9psi im running for awhile. so the cheapest way is best right now

thanks

I'm really suprised it held 9psi this long to be honest with you. Not very strong motors. Um, how much is not alot? You need or should get a larger turbo. Wait for more responses of people who have done this before to post. My advice is "Yes" the head too. That way you have m4d Vt4K y0!
