d series boost
Ok so I have been looking into boosting a D-series for a while, and done a fair a bit of research but would like to hear from you guys that have actually done it. I was looking to boost a z6 with eagle rods, viatra low comp pistons, cometic head gasket, and want it to hold 15psi no problem. My question is what other things might have I over looked like a better oil pump? I know the fuel management will need to be upgraded that is obvious. But I want a very dependable ride on 15psi. Thanks

Ya exactly what I want, I just want reliability as well so I want to make sure I do it right. Also what size turbo would you recommend? I dont want something too big because fast spool time is fun. But im thinking a t3/t4 will be to small for what Im after

Actually, there's a pretty good variety of "T3/T4" turbos. The one I would get for your setup would be a T3/T4 50 trim .63 A/R. It still spools fast enough, and is capable of making plenty of power on the SOHC.
I wouldn't get hung up on the 15psi, you may very well meet your goals at 10psi, the psi is just relative.

Yea that is true, I was told to make power/time goals not psi goals
so how does this sound. a z6 with pistons, rods, cometic headgasket, 255lph fuel pump, full turbo kit, bigger injectors (not exactly sure what cc for my setup), good chip/Tune, stronger clutch, bigger exhaust (2.5 or 3in?), fuel pressure regulater?, cam gears? (becuase of vtec and boost), head work?, I just want to make sure I do it right the first time.

-An OEM Honda gasket will work fine.
-I'd use a 3" exhaust, if your going to make it, you may as well go 3" and be done with it
-550cc will be more than enough for you
-a cam gear isn't needed, neither is a aftermarket FPR unless you just want them.

What full turbo kit?...it depends on what turbo you are looking into.
Like Autoworks said...550's will be fine. I currently am using them on my 400whp D series build and should have no problem.
What 'stronger clutch' were you looking into?...Id say go with an Action or Exedy Stg 2 Clutch. Remember, clutches are rated on Torque, not WHP.
A cam gear will only be useful (if any) for tuning purposes to get your Cam timing right...other than that, no need.
If I were you, Id run a 3" DP w/ no Cat (Resonator if anything) into a full 3" Exhaust. Dont bottleneck whatever you do
No need for Headwork...ive seen over 500whp D's running with stock heads. If anything, you can upgrade your cam to the Zex 59300 and be done. (I chose to do headwork because im ballin)

Ic yea sorry i was a little vauge on the "stronger clutch" and "turbo kit" lol. At this point Im not looking for exact brands but more of what I am going to need. What kits do you guys recommend? And also is machine shop work necessary for what I want to achive? And yea I would run 3inch with no cats, I dont need to worry about emissions where I live . Thanks a lot for the info bro

Oh i wasnt going by just brands lol...im telling you two great clutches for the Turbo D.
An Action2MS and Exedy Stg 2 have been proven time and again with Turbo D's in the high 300whp range.
A machine shop will only be needed to Notch your block to fit those Eagles. Or you could do it yourself...i would suggest the first option though
