how risky would it be to turbo my d15b7 with 180k miles on it? like maybe around 6 lbs?

I have 193,500 on the clock and peak out around 9 - 10psi with no problems on stock internals (I have done a really good tune on it though). But, it really depends on what kind of condition your engine is in...
a. Does it burn oil?
b. Have you done a leakdown test?
c. Compression test?

I run a hf manifold with a t3 internaly gated turbo, 2.5 in exhaust, 450cc dsm injectors/resistor box, fuel pump, chipped and tuned ecu, and everything else is stock.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but I think that d15 engines hold boost better than d16 do because of a better rod/stroke ratio (although you may not get bigger hp numbers).

If it is a daily driver, you may want to run 7-8psi.
Oh yea, I have a second car just incase I blow this one up.

 

dont be scared its a 200.00 motor

or less.

 

a. Does it burn oil? Nope, doesn't burn oil
b. Have you done a leakdown test?how exactly do you do one?
c. Compression test? can/will do it soon, have the compression tester in my garage somewhere

what it comes down to is.... I am always low on money so would it be a better choice to just be patient and save and just get maybe an ls or gsr and boost it? this is going to be a daily driver/weekend warrior so it wont be raced constantly.

 

the leak down test :

Try 0-100 .

@ OP:
Do a compression and leakdown test and see what the deal is. If they're both good changing the timing belt and let a rip. Good tune and not beat on = long lasting. Don't skimp on tune or it'll fall apart fast.

 

hey bro question lets say your car burns oil how can you stop that?????

 

LoL

Find out where it's burning oil from.

Leakdown or compression test will tell you if it's a piston ring. If not it's probably the headgasket.

EDIT:
I'd becareful if the headgasket's leaky. You heat the block up too much (hold it too high too long) ur gonna warp the head.

 

yeah i was asking cuz my friend has a rsx-s and it burns oil so where may i find all these possible leaks?
