i see people turboing their d series.
but most of the builds ive seen are the d series with VTEC (most commonly the EX motor [D16Y8])

well i have a DX (D16Y7) No Vtec, is it even worth boosting?

stock internals?

 

yes, the z6 or y8 are arguably better base motors to start with. but it all depends on what you want out of it and what you put into it.

 

Ive seen Y7s be pretty damn fast on boost with a 100% stock motor.
Gotta love the downdraft manifold, lol.

 

Hell yea it is. boost it

 

z6 is the best motor to boost, but if you want some d-series turbo parts pm me cause im selling some haha

 

ya the y7 is fine

 

d-series.org is a good knowledge base

gl finding ic piping with that y7 IM

swap over to a y8 im and enjoy the extra flow ;-)

Its like asking is it better to boost a ls or a gsr... either way fi is the only way for power out of sohc. you have lower compression but no vtec. i would say you will be safe at around 200 whp bone stock. its all about the tuner that counts.
i recommend starting with a small turbo... lots of fun way less turbo lag.

 

a t25 turbo setup on 8 psi will get you in the neighborhood of 180 whp on a y7. If that isn't around what your power goals are, i'd look into a swap that will better accomodate your plans.

 

how abot a D15b? worth boosting?

 

Hell yea, y7 power haha. I'm also looking into boosting my y7. Hopefully it's still healthy for boosties.

 

of ocurse its well boosting..that will make decent power on 200whp range..even stock internals..just build it right the first time
