I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

From the looks of it, these engines respond well to boost.

yeah they do respond very well to boost ... their are several people on honda-tech making good power with these engines .. in boosted form ... i they are peppy little engines ... the only thing i did to it was install a k&n conical filter inplace of my factory airbox .... you can hear this thing switch over .... louder then my friends z6 changeover, need to get a ridealong clip . with prices ranging from 300-500 for ac omplete longblock with accesories attatched on it i don't see how you could go wrong.

I bought my d15b+p08 ecu+p20 lsd from hmotorsonline .... engine costs 435 ecu = 150 shipping costed 200 bucks .... total = 785 , transmission costed me 450 +100 bucks for shipping (ups) = 550 bucks (these trannsmissions aren't that heavy btw ... had a 70lb sticker on the crate , and i lifted it up by myself) wich is 1035 total excluding shipping ... when compared to about 2000-2500 places are charging for a complete ls swap, and performance stock vs stock wouldn't be much diffrent (infact i think the gearing (of the p20lsd) and the weight diffrence of the d15b , would put it on top) .
