240 hp d15b is it possible

[daishion]

I was in another thread and "goofycustomz" said he built a d15b up to 240 hp at the wheels. goofycustomz if you are for real let me know how you did it as I am very interested. I am trying to upgrade my engine I was going to put a b18c5. Does anybody know if this is possible? Any sugestion as to what a nice engine upgrade would be.

If you go turbo it's possible, but definently not all motor. That guy is either full of sh*t or just a troll, but either way it's not true.

[daishion]

What kind of turbo setup would you need to do this. How much would it run you and is it popular or even worth it. Would you recomend just upgrading to a new engine?

[CivicSpoon]

I'd probably recommend swaping to a new motor. But even with the new motor you'd have to build it up and probably run turbo to see 240hp out of it. Even with the type R you'd have to build it up to get that much, comes stock with 200hp, and that's 200 at the crack and not at the wheels. But the price would depend on what turbo kit you buy (everyone has different opinions on what kit is the best) and how much you spend on internals and tuning (not to mention paying a machine shop to put the internals in). By no means is getting to 240hp going to be cheap no matter what way you go.

Thanks mate. What is the best price to hp ratio. Would it be exhaust or a computer chip pulley wheels intake?

[jojodanca]

you will get more horse power from a turbo or supercharger then allmotor but if you turn the boost up to high you will be replacing the internals its really all in what you want

True. Although I don't really recommend it if you don't know how to use it properly (plus I personally don't like it but that's just my opinion.)
Exhaust, intake, header, pulleys will only give you a few hp; if you're real luck you could see 10 (real lucky). And most of the chips are a waste of $ and won't do anything other than make your car run very rich (killing gas mileage) unless you have other engine mods to use it with; like i/h/e, cams, etc.

there's a guy on turbod16.com makin 500bhp with his d16...so 240whp is possible...it ain't gonna be cheap by no means

[mellowboy]

Dont even think about it. ITs not cheap like Blu Civic said. Not worth it.

Oh it'll be REALLY close! High compression turbo set ups packs up major hp.This guy went to this school call UTI back where i used to live in Chicago. Well anyways he has stock turbo type r motor in his 94 civic coupe put'n out 231whp! He told me its not even tuned! I told him he better get that done right away if he wants his motor to last. He was actually on his way to the shop to get it tuned. Still thats crazy numbers!

completel exaust, intake, headers, and pulleys will run you a good 20-25 hp easy...pulleys alon will add 5 at the wheels...and im not pulling my numbers out of no where or from company advertiedments, ive seen it on a dyno with my own eyes...headers are considered by mant gearheads to be largest bang for the buck...then catback exaust then intake then pulleys....the chips in no way make your car run richer, they make it run leaner...leaner=more HP...this is wwhy you have to be carefull when running a chip and intake/exaust/headers because intake/exaust/headers will lean your car out a bit by alowing more airflow then if the chip leans it way out knocking can occur...ive see nthat happen iwth my own eyes also...most 4cylenders today are capable of 200-220hp on stock internals....250-300 with aftermarket internals....and thats N/A...with forced induction and/or tuned for pure racing as much as 500 or more....but production blocks with more than 300hp are often extremely unstable so i wouldnt reccoment it... ;-)

Mugen chip makes it run richer.

[CBFryman]

well then whoever designed that chip was smoking crack or never even learned a piston from a valve...lol

[mellowboy]

Mugen are one of the best tuners for hondas. SO i doubt they smoke crack.
