Thumbs up d15z1 performance help

i have header intake and exhaust on my car and i am just wondering if anyone can give me some help on what i can do to make it faster.
the car already only loses to a b16 by 4 cars and thats not too bad considering my engine has 92hp and 97torq stock and the b16 coupe i raced was dynoed at 197hp.
but i dont know where my hp is and i dont see it worth it to spend the money on the dyno test yet till i get more done to the engine.
so any help would be great
and no i am not looking to just swap the engine for something else

Re: d15z1 performance help

naw i am not going to swap it
but i have seen built d16s that have made over 400hp
so i think if i put a d16z6 head on my car and turbo it the car would be quick
and i have seen it done and that alone adds quite a bit of hp

Re: d15z1 performance help

the D16 with over 400hp has a lot of money and time invested into it...
