im gonna turbo my dx crx for fun, im gonna do it with nissan t25, dsm 450's, hf manifold, front mount ect. Of course MPFI conversion. What kind of power can you get out of these? I hear all d series are good for 200whp.

 

d16z6 are good for like 220whp stock, i would say you would be making like 150-200, depending on how well the kit is constucted and what parts its constructed and supporting mods ect, but yea d series are normally good for around 200

 

anyone esle have any input?

Sure its good for ... that much stock. for a while it wont last. honda's wernt built for boost. so plan on building. if you want to keep it to last for a lon time keep it under 2psi.... expect 140hp max. i hear the "good for this many hp" all the time. sure. coudl be good for 500hp .... but about half way throuh third it will blow.

The best think is make sure you get it tuned. and PROPERLY. fuel is necessary. tuning is as big if not bigger part of the job than just bolting on a turbo. dont be like most people in my town. i have only seen 2-3 peopel that did fuell managment. i see 1 a month that didnt. and it lasted 1 month.

just my two cents. not tryn to be an *** :D hate to see another blown honda

 

on a stock D block dont plan on boosting anymore than 6-7 psi

 

totally agree, you cant expect to get maximum performance from sumthing untuned, fuel is a must, tune is a must, to get optimum performace and relieablility, at least fuel if not tuned to keep detonation and breaking stuff at bay, also lower boost pressures will also keep things safe and detonation at bay, along with colder sparkplugs...... but mainly fuel fuel fuel, fuel pump,fuel injectors,fuel rail. anything to keep the fuel coming... even if using the fmu

 

I would say on a beat down D series thats already old, maybe 4-5 psi tops for regular fun driving and you should have about as much powa as a LS with that little setup.

 

Well i plan on having it tuned with turboedit, i wanna push 10 psi, if it blows, all well d series are a dime a dozen. but with a good tune and all the supporting mods, i believe it was last and make good power.

 

were boosting ours at 8 psi for a month now. Check it out http://www.homemadeturbo.com/f...306.0

What kind of piping is that? is that one of these ebay piping kits? how thick is the metal? are they thick enough to weld if you didnt want to use all the couplers?

 

I am getting almost 500 to the wheel on my built d16 and I am not pushing it as hard as I probably could. I think you could get close to 800 if you tried and wanted to waste the money.

 

I have a buddy running 14 psi and spiking to 17 and he ran a 13.1 at 105. But its on a d16. He has boosted a 15b2 at 9psi for a couple of months till it got stolen

 

hey good luck with your build!! im currently in the process of turbo'n my d15b2 as well.. im looking to get 160-180whp on low boost.. keep us updated!

sure dime a dozen but gets anoying swapign ever few months : ). i said that too till i had to swap it. pain in the ***. no one had one at the time.

its just not worth it to put 300$ into yoru car every 6 months(after other bs you do too).

sure 10psi will work with a GOOOD tune, but youll be swaping in 6 months. make sure if your tuning you HAVE a wideband, stock o2.... doesnt read anyhting nor do those stupid a/f gauges its somewehre around 14.5:1-14.9:1 is what they read. you want to tune it about 11:1 to be safe. a lil richer than you want for power. but it will be more reliable. there is alot of information on these forums about this stuff : ). run slightly richer than you think. itl save you later.

dont keep swaping. save and build or save and get bigger. but its goging to blow. and everyone i know has blown it faster than they expected.

just my 2 cents. boost is alota fun. just take yoru time and dont mess around with tuning. get it right and make sure you spend the money on a wideband(200-400$).

also make sure your motor is healthy and your not throwin check engines. i hit limp mode while in booost.. my crank angle sensor failed : (. yeah..... that motor died a few mins later.

 

Definitly agree with that, leaner will be better power gains, but you want to be a little richer than you think to stay safe... and definitly agree with the swapping part if you arent sure about turboing now, save your money and do a build or work on a better turbo setup or whatnot

do you think its to thin to weld?

 

hey ime not sure of how much those could handle but i have a dual port that woops on b16 and grs and all i did was slaped a si tranny with a port and pilished head and a stage 2 clutch on some sticky *** street tires and ai also ran at irwindale and hit 10.4


peace

 

No but you have to get aluminum welding wire. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by CRX MASE &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

well i was think about getting one of those cuts and cutting to to what i need and having it welding at a shop.

 

You could, they have metal ones of the same thing we just bidded on the wrong one.how much of your kit do you have done

 

So far i have.....

T25
DSM 450's
Front mount
Greddy Bov
HF manifold
boost, oil pressure gauges

 

Have you looked at D15 rods compared to D16??

The 1.5 rods are FAR thinner and weaker than the 1.6 rods. You are asking for trouble IMO if you boost on them with anthing more than a couple lbs.

Nice setup so far. Like solo said dont boost it too much if you want it to last were boosting our at 8- 10 psi cause were putting another motor in. 5-6 psi will be fun enough for you. By the way the d15 rods are the same size as a sharpie marker, NO LIE!!
