Yes, I am a noobie, and go ahead and flame me all you want, I don't really care, but I have a legit question.

Can a D15B7 handle a turbo? If so, what would I need to do first to prepare the engine, and how many PSI could I run safely?

P.S. the question was NOT "Should I get a turbo or do an engine swap?", it was "Can the engine I ALREADY have handle it and handle it safely".

And thanks ahead of time to anyone with something USEFUL to say. (I'm not trying to be rude, I just hate having to scroll through pages of nonsense to get to the real info.)

haha, this is honda tech THESE days. back they they actually give you help and tech

haha


the d15b7 rods cant handle the boost and will break man, if you are boositn, i suggest you clean the **** out of your motor and boost 5-6 psi

yeah what happened to the old tech. Now its just a bunch of asses saying use the search which i'm suprised didn't happen in this bost. Just to give you an idea how thin they are there about this ------ big and i think that might be pushing it. Hell i snaped a rod hit 8 grand the motor just is weak. Get a d16 you'll be much happier

Hey 541Delsol i am right over the hill from you,well i have the same motor and i was thinking about going turbo,but i have found out that the Rods are really weak,and they cant go over 5 to 7 pounds depends on your motor,how hard it has been driven.Well if you ever go up to Clover Creek look for a Blue 4door EG with SI wheels,that is me,or at the Drags.

Adding a turbo to an engine can be a great way to increase power, but it requires careful planning and preparation to ensure that the engine can handle the added stress.

In the case of a D15B7, it is possible to add a turbo, but there are a number of factors to consider first. One of the main things you'll need to do is strengthen the engine's internals. This includes upgrading the piston rods, installing forged pistons, and adding an aftermarket head gasket. Additionally, you'll need to consider upgrading the fuel system, as a turbocharged engine requires more fuel to operate properly.

In terms of boost pressure, it is generally recommended to keep the boost level below 10 PSI for a stock D15B7 engine. Anything higher than that can put too much stress on the engine and cause it to fail prematurely. Of course, the actual boost level you can run will depend on a variety of factors, including the quality of the build, the fuel system, and the overall health of the engine.

Before you begin any work on your engine, it's important to do your research and consult with a qualified mechanic or engine builder. They can help you determine the best course of action for your specific needs and goals, and ensure that your engine is built to handle the added stress of a turbocharger.

In conclusion, adding a turbo to a D15B7 engine is possible, but it requires careful planning and preparation to ensure that the engine can handle the added stress. With the right upgrades and tuning, you can safely run a moderate level of boost pressure and enjoy the added power and performance that a turbocharger can provide.
