as long as it has good compression you can get ~200whp out of it safely on a good tune

well its almost the same as a d16z6 which tons of people boost. If you wanted you could do a mini me swap to make it basically a z6 and then boost that. its all up to you.

well if you do some research you will learn that SOHC motors like the d15b7 dont respond well to bolt on items like intake/exhaust/header. If you are gonna turbo later dont buy an intake. your spark plugs and wires arent doing anything but keeping your gas mileage high. I didn't notice any difference in power when I got my intake, just a difference in sound. Turbo is the best way to go for the best power to $$$ ratio.
