Default >>**pROJECt d15b-T**<<

bought this as a standard JDM d15B then added the following:

15" Advans SA3R
K Sport LCAs
DC Rear Lower TieBar
MFactory Dampening/Height Adjustable Coilovers
Ambers
DC2 Black Recaros
EG Optional Lower Centre Console
Import Sized Plates
Vti Front Lip

My Plans are already taking shape, i am just waiting on a few more parts to start bolting on the Greddy Turbo Kit:

Greddy TD04H Turbo & Acuator
Greddy Turbo Elbow
Greddy Manifold
RC 440 Injectors
Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller
Hondata s200b
Boost/Oil/Water Guages
Ebay Spec FMIC
Downpipe, Intercooler Charge Piping, Oil Lines, Tapped Sump, rubber connectors and various little bits and pieces...

Not aiming for very big figures, realistically about 200WHP at low boost about 0.5 or 0.6 bar (or is that too optimistic?) does anyone have any other ideas about predicted figures? i know it depends on tuning but approx figures??

sorry if i've made a few mistakes in my description and predicted figure as i am new to the turboing scene but have done my fair share of research too.

Looks good, I see you have swoosh 60mm gauges. Do you have a a pillar pod for them? If so lmk, becuase I cant find one anywhere.

This is my plan in progress for my D15B VTEC engine exactly. Good job, I like the Advans as well.

For the turbo applications, you should probably look into some wider, less restrictive exhaust piping and muffler. That is where I see you having a problem with your turbo setup. May I suggest you take a look around the Forced Induction section and search for exhaust applications with mild turbo setups, or post a thread asking said question?

yeh this is defo next on the list, my funds have been tied up in gathering relatively good quality parts and also saving for the tuning, and also saving a bit aside for unexpected problems but after all of that then the exhaust most probably a custom made 2.5" piping catback system.

Still wondering if you had an A-pillar pod for your gauges.

Well if you want a pillar pod the same as he would get you would have a hell of a time looking at them unless your car is RHD.

Well still if he knows of a company that makes them in 60mm it'd help me, maybe they make LHD too.

honda_racing101- i havent got any pods for the guages dude, im thinking of either mounting them with the Greddy Boost Controller in my Glove Box and keep them hidden, as theres a lot of thefts in my area and i have no garage!!

gsxr1k05 - i've been thinking about running a open downpipe for the time being, i know the smell and noise will be unbearable but think it will do until i have enough funds for the exhaust system, and i bought the recaros for £300 which is about $600ish to y'all!

and thanks for all the other comments people, but i can assure you its not a clean car, the pictures hide the dents/dings/scratches very good, but engine work first, bodywork second!!

GL with your build!

I'm in the process of rebuilding my D16Y8 bottom end after installing a GReddy turbo kit...wiped out my crankshaft under cylinder 1 and snapped the bearing in half under cylinder 2....what fun!

Looks like Greddy's 92-95 civic turbo kit...

I have the same set-up.. on my 94 coupe. You might want to upgrade the manifold. I found that it held way to much heat.

I had the original kit for over 3 years with no issues. I sold the manifold to a buddy and he still uses it today.

i think that might be my current problem right now. i bought a new rad, hoses, t-stat, and slim fan to hopefully solve this problem

Greddy 96-00 TD04H-19T running stock boost, ~ 6 pounds.

I'm rebuilding the bottom end right now w/ dished pistons, h-beam rods, lightened ZEX flywheel, Stage 2 clutch, etc. Hadn't dyno'd the car before the crank went...hopefully I'll have time to take it down to F1 Dyno once the build is complete to see what numbers I produce.
