im trying to build a poor mans all motor d15b7 what are the best rods and pistons to put in, i want to just be able to drop the pan and slap them in no boring or n e thing what do yall think? im going to put a 50 thousanths shaved head and a stage 3 cam in it so what can i do?

 

whats the bore on a D15b7? if its 75mm or whatever the D16's are, i would say grab up some PM6's (out of the D16A6) for an easily streetable motor or the PM7's (out of the D16A1 i.e. ZC) for a pretty crazy all-motor-OEM build.

make sure to check the rod angle for clearance against the bottoms of the sleeves and that the deck is tall enough. sorry, ive never spec'd a d15b7 or i would be able to help more.

good luck.

 

are pm7s easily atainable?

 

i think im going to go with the pm7s but how mutch power can they hold?

 

im sure you could get a set through majestic for not too much...

how much power? well, you figure a well tuned 11.5:1 block with a VTEC head, big cam, bolt ons... you'd probably max the block out around 170 whp or so....

 

IF YOUR USEING THE BIG OF A CAM you have to build the vlave train and if you useing stock pistons you need to use d16a1 integra pistons it is the only Domed dseries to raise your compression P29

AND DO NOT SHAVE THE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT I SAY AGAIN DO NOT SHAVE THE HEAD

 

PM7 and P29 and D16A1 and DOHC ZC are all the same thing... which is what i said to use.

 

why not shave the head?

 

you will have more problems then you want with timeing the motor and cleanceproblems just leave the head alone PLUS IT WILL DO NOTHING
