I've got 180k on the clock, but am getting ready to do a full tune up with new gaskets, various oil seals, and a new OEM clutch. I haven't done a compression test yet, but if the cylinders are past 5%ish of each other, that answers my question . I'm just looking for a little more power for scooting around town. Won't be going to the track, the most extreme situation would be some highway driving. Would a S-AFC be ok for me to use with my applicaton? What's the max boost that I should not go past? I know the D15 has weaker internals than the D16, so I would imagine 3-5psi max? Everything will be stock except for an exhaust and maybe a Skunk 2 cam gear.

personaly i love boostin those cuz there so cheep and i like to see what happens when each one pops. but thats when im about to swap it out. and 3-5psi is just about nothing. that motor doesnt make much vacume or power to begin with. you shuld just find a used dry nitrous kit and throw it on there if you wana just "scoot round town"

 

you can run about 7-10 pounds if your using good fuel management, have multiport fuel injection and a good tuner

 

it depends on the condition of your motor... thats prety high mileage to be boostin at all i would do a compression test first

 

D15A2 or D15B2?

 

My bad my bad, I have a B2 not an A2. If a compression test checks out I woiuld just be using the stock fuel system with the dual injectors. If I upgraded them to DSM 450's would that help? How about a S-AFC as engine management? I'm not looking to spend big $$$$, I only spent $375 for the car. Basically I am looking for the cheapest way to SAFELY boost my hatch.

 

Here's a successful DPFI turbo to read about:

Anyone seen one with only the 2 injectors? ^^ he used 2 extra injectors in his setup

 

Anyone?

 

Using the stock DPFI just seems like a bad idea...asking for trouble.
It's a crappy design. Honda was willing to try it, but they quit using it entirely after just four years.
