pi**ing in the wind?

[Rich1710]

hi again. im starting to feel like im pissing in the wind a bit now, ive got a 1995 1.5 civic hb that ive had for a few months now, its already got a cold air intake and one of them ebay chips, but what else can i do to a 1.5 performance wise? ive been looking on google for ages and cant really find much, i wish i had a 1.6 vtec but the insurance would be over £2500! am i wasting my time here? if you could just give me a list of a few things i would be very very greatful plus i can research them myself. Thanks in advance :)

You could always swap the head from a D15B Vtec., forged pistons, turbo, etc.

great! thanks :) that would be good idea, i found this about the head swap so im going to read this http://www.d-series.org/forums/engine-building/11116-mini-me-write-ups.html is ebay a good place to look for heads?i think england is useless for parts, or would a scrappy be a beter place? thanks again :)

just be careful on ebay, some people are full of shit when they describe the quality of the parts. but if your putting mostly new internals in it just make sure nothing is cracked.

thanks for the advice, ive looked on ebay and theres absolutely nothing in the uk. I may have a look round a few scrap yards with a mechanic buddy of mine over the next few days, Does anyone know wheres there a complete list of things ill need? plus are the d16 heads better (or even compatible) than the d15's?

Thanks again for the replies

EDIT: forget that last bit, am i right in saying that the d15b is the most agressive of the d series?

in my opinion yes, but some people would say the DOHC ZC is

How did nobody mention this? lol that chip is damaging your car not helping it...

[Rich1710]

Thanks
