ok i have heard alot...people say its better off going to a d16 and boosting that...i got the d15b7..would like to boost it..but to expensive for parts to boost..so..how long will the motor last with stock internals and a y8 head boosted...might run 8 to 9 psi.. want to know more..

First of all this is the all motor section, second: Really depends what you want.

Not anymore its not

To the OP: What's your budget and what do you want out of the setup? Stock internal D's will run just fine daily ~220-240whp with a good setup and tune...regardless of boost pressure. When you state your goals, be sure to omit that portion since its effectively meaningless

well i am trying to keep it not to expensive..i dont have deep pockets..just want some power for little money..tired of down shifting to get infront of car and not really going anywhere...

I had a blast with my boosted d15b7. It can run great if you have it tuned well.

the rods in the d15b7 arn't very strong, i'd say thats your weakest point in stock form. So if you stay in the 200 - 220hp range, you should be alright. Just get iit tuned and don't beat the **** out of it, Should last.

220 whp on a stock d15b7? you would be doin something then! I highly doubt you could get those numbers in stock form

stock d15b7's boosted to 200hp have been done a million times! What part of this doesn't make sense to you?

It should last a while, even at 8-9psi (t3 turbo) with a y8 head. Just make sure the timing is set correctly to 16 degrees when using the y8 head. It helps if you get a great tune, run conservative timing, and the motor is healthy before hand.

i had a d15b7 with a t3/t4 50 trim on 8 lbs. it ran fine was laggy as hell but lasted just fine no problems. plus it cost like $800 total for the kit. granted i had put it together with used parts, but i would say it had about 180whp.

so it can be done and has been done a million times as said earlier.

ok...so u guys are saying i really dont need to do nothing to the motor..just slapp the turbo on and have a great tune to get about 180 o 200 hp..

yes, go have fun.
