I don't want to start swapping axles and all that stuff. I just want it to be quick, not taking it to the strip or anything. What can I do to my stock motor without overloading it? Headers, exhaust, intake, bolt ons????? How much power will this give me?

tell ya the sad truth I/H/E won't give you much on a d15b7...it'll help, but it won't give you much...best bang for the buck than would be I/H/E AND a VTEC head swap...

I'd recommend swapping to a D16Z6 head (vtec), D16Y8 intake manifold, D16Y8 tranny, P29 (USDM D16A1) pistons or PM7 (JDM ZC) pistons, and a good cam. That will bump your compression to about 10.5:1. Any block decking or head milling, or using a thinner headgasket will bump it further.

I really don't think N/A on a D will achieve much...it just tops out too easily...me personally would get a d16y8 head, p28 ecu, y8 manifold, y8 transmission, and than if no forged internals a diy turbo set-up at 5psi

HERE is an answer to your question about it being possible...quite easy to say the least if you're comfortable working on your car.

and I know there's a write-up somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find it right away

Eh, with a D15 the difference would be about 150whp and 200ishwhp. Aftermarket D15 rods don't exist (I'm pretty sure), so his potential with a turbo will be limited.

He can always pick-up a z6 block and build it for later use

Good point. He could pick up several different blocks down the line.
