Ok check it out. I dont know if any of yall have ever been in a 5th gen dx but it is pretty sad, i have one too so i know wehre absolute is coming from. But i blew a head gasket and just bought a JDM d15b from www.sunrisejdmmotors.com for 1001 after shipping. SOHC vtec 130 hp. You should look into that

RE: Motor Swap
if you want a turbod motor put a turbo on you d15 for now. you can get a feel for it and how to tune it and even if you like it. if you decide you want more power you could step up to a mildly built vtec d series. it would just drop in, and add a few wires for vtec and a p28 ecu and you would be good to go for more power and all your existing parts would bolt on.

RE: Motor Swap
thanks for your help guys. i know i could live without a turbo but ive always liked them and i think they sounds really cool. if i wanted to turbo my 1.5 where would i go to look for a turbo for that motor?? I went to turbonetics and looked at there kits and then had a kit for a 95 civic dx 2-door but it was for a 1.6 not a 1.5, and what is the difference between a 1.5 and a 1.6?? And if i found a turbo for a 1.5 would there be any other performance part that i would need other then a intercooler?? Thanks again guys
