Default 14b a d15 engine??

hey i'm new to this forum and i just bought a 95 civic cx and a 90 talon awd but what i wanted to know is that about how much boost will the little d15 engine handle from a 14b turbo that i had laying around this will be using all the necessary parts (fmic, 450cc injectors, safc, fmu, 190lph fuel pump, blitz bov, etc) i'm also considering doing a mini me swap but i don't know if its a good idea or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

20-22

^edit, that's what the turbo can put out...sorry, lol...for your motor i would not recommend anything over 8 without being tuned properly.

edit #2: although, which the s-afc and other things you listed, me personally...would go 10...go big or go home.

Usually stock wastegate will open around 8-9psi on those turbos and i wouldnt run anything more then that. Shitty way to run your car is safc, dsm 450's, msd-btm. I did my setup couple years ago and thats not the greatest way to do ****. But if that was me in your shoes i'd spend coulpe hours of reading up on these wonderful forums and do uberdata and save your self lots of headache in future. Its really not that difficult if you have some common sense. So which ever way you go happy boosting

Would you recommend on boosting and doing the mini me swap? either way i'm going to boost since i'm really familiar with turbos and everything being a proud owner of 2 DSM's so i can find my way around boosting but i still don't know about the mini me swap what do you guys think??

Do the mini me...multi port fuel injection is a nice feature (and most of the time necessary) to have especially on a turbo d-series. Have friends that have always done the mini-me before adding any kind of forced induction. Multiport is always better than Dual.

p.s. Sell me your awd. LOL.

He already has multipoint.

I have a D15 mini-me, with a 15g turbo and about 7 pounds. Pulls VERY nicely. I'd definitely recommend it. And I have actually had good experience with the SAFC hack so far...
