first of all.. PLEASE do some research before you come in here asking questins that have been asked a MILLION times before
its called search
as for an answer
any motor can be reliably built and boosted you just gotta do it right so please go read a damn book

boost it. If you can get your hands on a z6 then go for that. From my experience with dseries turbos, 1.6 liter motors have a larger selection of products to choose from (rods and pistons). Never the less, turboing the D is gonna be fun. I had a d16y7
(shitty intake manifold) and i made 205whp 185trq. It lasted a long time before i sold the kit and moved on. It was a great daily. you can handle about 200whp safely on a dseries.

It will all depend on your goals. The d-series can be built pretty cheap. You need to figure out what looking for and your budget. But, overall spend a few days what find in search.
Search is your friend, more then you wanna know can be found on this site

its becuase currently you have 3 choices for rods, Crower, Pauter or custom and have you seen that Price tag? In a few months FJ distibutors will release its D15 rods for using vitaras in the D15b7 and you should start seeing ALOT more boosted B7's. Personally i like them for their higher R/S ratios than the 16 and once you get the longer rods for the vitaras that will go even higher. Slap a Vtec head on it and have a really nice turbo motor

I think boosting the b7 would be so much fun. Since d15's can be found anywhere for dirt cheap. One of my friends back home in guam hit low 13's, I think also high 12's with a stock block D15B7 with a SSAC manifold, volvo t3, starion IC and hondata s300.
I wouldn't mind building a d15b7 turbo once fjt comes out with the rods.. fun!!

i turboed my old civic with a d15b7 a couple of years ago. it was a junkyard setup with the HF manifold/adaptor plate, and a 13b mitsu turbo. some weird saab or probe intercooler, dsm 450cc injectors, etc...it was tuned by a great tuner (corey at slowmotion here in C-Bus) on hondata-S200. i think that it put down like 155 hp and 165 tq. it was a really fun car. i delivered pizzas in it and had a blast. after about a year of boost the engine took a dump on itself and **** a rod out of the side of the block.
the stock rods are REALLY small. i can imagine with some custom rods, vitaras, and a healthy T25 (or similar) you could have a hell of a setup. as was said earlier, go to a junkyard and these engines will be everywhere.

IMO going with a D15B7, especially building one, just isn't a good idea. The Z6/Y8 heads flow better, are easier to find a cam for, and have more displacement. You'd have to build the head anyways to really use that better rod to stroke ratio. The only reason I'd use a D15 is because it was already in a car, and it was a daily beater.
The price of a decent Z6 longblock is hardly anything compaired to what you'll spend on building an entire motor + turbo kit, even if its all done by yourself with junkyard parts.
I'd definately recommend doing a B18B over a D15, as long as you know what you're doing. A quick peek into the boosted B18B thread will tell you the B18B has lots of potential, even before going with a vtec head. However, if its your first turbo setup, I'd slap a stock B7 in it first, and boost with a decent HMT-style setup. Then step up to the B later, maybe even build it while you rock the D15.
