Hey guys! Need little help I'm getting a D15B japanese engine wanted to know what i need to have a good running motor and able to handle turbo and nos setup. Want engine mods do i need to have a nice good running setup.

First off you need to research. The engine can handle mild boost with no problems using stock sleeves. I'm not a fan of nitrous so I cant comment on that.

I do however hate it when people call it NOS. NOS is a brand name. If you want to use nitrous then use the search button.

Bejita pretty much covered it.


I will add,

Research, research, and more research. Know WTF you're doing to your car before you do it.

And I'm not a fan of nitrous either. Just preference.

Well i just want to get a new engine and for sure want to get a turbo. But i don't want to get turbo and my engine get blown in a couple of weeks. So I want to know if I'm going to need a thicker head gasket or whatever the case is to get maintain turbo D serie engine.

If it's a fresh motor from a reliable dealer it will be fine on stock internals for up to 250whp.

The stock bottom end you can even go for 400+ whp.

250 is plenty for a street car for most people. If you just get a compression test and it checks out okay then you'll be fine.

Alright thanks a lot man wasn't really sure. If i do get nitrous will the engine still be able to handle it.

Turbo it first, then decide if you think NOS is even something you want to do. For the $500 it takes to spray, you could build the head and up the boost to get far greater gains than 30-60whp that a nitrous kit will get you.

not a fan of nitrous but i was in your shoes about a year ago man and i'm just saying research... learn how a turbo works and learn all the components and things before you go slapping a turbo kit on your new motor....

and the most important part of the whole setup
TUNE TUNE TUNE
TUNE TUNE TUNE
TUNE TUNE TUNE
TUNE TUNE TUNE

the best investment you need to do before you boost is get a set of ARP head bolts to take the power your going to put out with that boost. I as well is boosting my d15 soon, but with d16y8 head. so a mini me swap n boost. i do have a nx stg 1 efi kit i was thinking of adding with the boost but its not worth it unless you got the money...because you'll need to a bottom end rebuild, forged pistons n rods, reinforced sleeving, stage 2 n up clutch n axles...just lots of money to spend...my advice is just stick with the boost and call it a day...lol
