what do u guys think?? would this be a waste of money and time or will it come through??

Combustion Contraption

too many variables to say "waste of time"....

it all depends on your setup, if your going with a junkyard turbo setup and motor has a ton of mles, most likely wont last long

_gurusan_

If you are willing to put $$ in then IMO it's worth it.

Get some internals, a z6 vtec head, and a decent turbo and you should be pretty quick.

upgrade clutch/suspension/brakes also!

i was planning on going with the T3 setup w/ a brand new turbo. my motor has 110k miles on it for a 93

d15b7racer

i boosted that motor with a greddy kit, spearco fmic, and my own fuel management. did 14.7 on street tires @ 6 psi. not bad for soch non v if u ask me. its all about the asthetics though!! bling bling front mount and loud psssh is where its at!!

as long as your safe with fuel and keeping detonation in check, a turbo is the way to go. just dont get happy with a boost controller as most first timers do. like "oooh...6 puonds hauls ***, wonder what 10 would do?"

but you'll still be just another slow honda no matter how you look at it. 400whp is where it is at

in my opinion its not worth it to turbo a stock d15b7. save your money and put together a better motor... ex LS swap this year, turbo next year? or built sohc this year, turbo next year...

my friend has a 94 lx d15b7 with a 14b setup that costed $350 all together. it has 225,000 miles and has had the turbo on for months.

ps- my ferio is faster than dunkd's

bump for turbo ferios

ps - no its not

lol, yea i was thinking about doing the D16Z6 setup as well but it i cant find a good ex motor here.

I boosted my d15b7 for (after you convert) about $600 US. This included all parts, some tools, beer and a bunch of extra misk.

My car is a friggin blast to drive now, running 6psi for the last 4,000km. I also got my first speeding ticket last night... coincidence? Probobly not.

Either way, if you're ghettoing it, then by all means d15b7... but I'm already looking to pick up a z6.

The reason people turbo D's is because that is what came in their car, turbo that thing. It will last if you tune it right and those rods are good to 200 hp with good tuning too. Anybody who tells you not to turbo it is stupid.

MidShipCivic

Rod's are very weak get some 1.5L rod's from crower. Bushed fit.

Just think about you put a dohc in there and then you have 100lbs + more. Just dont hope for 600HP.
