turbo a d15????
i have a friend that wants to by my old turbo kit i fabed it off an old talon so its a rely small turbo only pushed bout 6psi out of it..... hes got a 90 civic hb with the crappy d15b1. i no that he should swap the cam throttle body and some other things but would it tank his engine if he put the kit on and push a small amount of pressure through it . i no its really not worth it and its not gonna be much faster but hes broke and wants the kit and i dont want him to kill his engine so im doin some research for him lol. i already no that he could prolly do more for the money but u would just haf to no him lol

sorry had to fix that. (and there is still grammatical errors)
if the engine is sound and you have a decent tuner and a decent ems, you should worry not.

Re: turbo a d15???? (boostedcivicsir)
He's broke and he wants to boost a D15B1. If 1+1=2, we can assume he's either a optomistic retard, or just plain ignorant.
Given the D15B1's inability to cope with extra air, in addition to the TB inlet's cap always wanting to leak/blow, its a terrible idea. Considering he can swap to MPFI and get an SI tranny for less, and still be safer & make more power, there's no reason to boost that motor - yet, anyways.
