I would really like to get alittle more power out of my car iam not looking to be taking it to the track and stuff i would just like alittle more power. I have a 94 lx sedan with a d15b7. now before everyone tells me to get a swap its not an option. i dont want to and cant spend alot of money. I already have a short ram intake and n1 exhaust. any suggestions? i was thinking my header ignition fuel rail fuel pressure reg. somethings along thoes lines. i would really like to try to make 120-125 hp. also is there anything from maybe a d16 that i could use?
any suggestions for more power?

i didnt say i wanted a high hp car i just want to make alittle more power then the 102 hp my car comes with stock. i have thought about a mini swap but i would really like to find a list of everything id need to do the swap with the d15b7.eminemslm0 said:
i think the only thing u can do for a d15b7 is i/h/e sorry man.bcivic94 said:
don't forget nitrous... the cheapest, fastest way to get power out of your engine
not planning to hit the tracks and jus want a lil more power huh. this is jus my opinion of that so don't get all mad and shiat at me all. the basic things you can do right now because you don't wanna go for bigger gains is a mini-me swap, i/h/e, ecu, msd, spark plug wires, spark plugs, like most peeps stated above. remove the spare tire and all other unused or things that don't really matter to you (ps & ac) and you should be decent for a lx sedan. but i wouldn't do it if i wasn't gonna go for more power. all those things will easily cost up to $1800+. add 400 more and hey, wut do you know, a b16. trust me man, when you get a little power, you're gonna want more power. i jus look at faster cars than mine and i want more power. so do a lil thinkin before you actually start buying your parts because i think if you're not gonna go for speed then with the dough that your gonna be spending on the regular bolt ons to your lx, might as well jus get some 17 rims and get it dropped, a car wash every now and then and you'll have a pretty nice lookin car. jus my opinion though.

I think headers would be a good start for you.you will be surprised of the ponies you can actually get out of a d series. takes time, knowledge, and of course money, but there's potential. it's just very hidden in there.

there's allot more to it than just "slappin that baby on"5thgen4dr said:
if you just "slap that baby on" will it wire the vtec by itself?

already have the 17's on wash it atleast once a week and also have other dress up items. now iam just looking for alittle something to give it some more pep. id really like to find out more about a mini me swap but i have yet to find detailed info for my engine.
that would be the
way to do it. An intake manifold, cam gears, and new pulleys will help a little. Not what i'd normally suggest. I think the best way would be to build your engine internally before you start doing bolt on's, but you said you weren't trying to spend a lot of money...So here's a little help for a little money...
