hey i was just curious if anyone knows of a turboed d15??? Is it possible, and would it even be reliable. I ask because I saw a generic turbo kit that said it would fit a d15/d16. I kinda think it would be cool to have a turbo 1.5. Thanks for any input!!

 

rods are puny

 

its worth if if you want alittle bump in power. my friend had a nice drag turbo kit on his
d15 and had like 280hp for a year till he sold everything. its the same kits as for a d16.

 

i knew someone that had a greddy turbo d15b7 and he ran 8 psi and he smoked b18's and b16's.

 

You can turbo your lawn mower, you just have to ask if it's worth it?

For the price of the parts collection to be done reliably, you could do a LS swap.

 

you can turbo it cheap and have fun with it and test its limit. blow it up and then go Bseries. everyone does that

 

was your friends d15 making 280 hp stock? they have rods and pistons for d15 now so you can build it if you have the money

 

yeah stock. it was nuuuts. it was a d15b though the jdm vtec one

 

yea, I am actually about to tear my JDM D15B motor down and fully build it for boost. My goal is 350WHP at end.

I got this great idea after i smoked my buddys LS swaped EG coupe in my Single cam EG Sedan and he turboed his she and took me for a ride and holly ****in **** it was FASST!!! 15PSI

 

Post some proof, I'm curious about his set up

 

i told you he sold it. but theeres a guy (thumper) on H-T bought the swap and now its in a 4dr...that im gonna buy
it was a full jdm d15vtec motor and tranny. super low miles and light flyweel and stg2 clutch. it was quick and super fun without the turbo setup. but with the turbo it was inshane

 

280whp is nearly enough to run 12.00 and touch into the 11's in the 1/4.

I'm callin bs that this was done with a stock block d15b7.

 

280 will get you 14s if your lucky martin. you can call bs all you want and the d15b7 i believe is the usdm gay 90hp motor. im talking about the jdm d15 vtec motor that is 130hp stock. 280hp will not get you far though in the qtr mile maybe a 280hp motorcylce

 

I'll see if i can get jarvis_199 to post his old setup running 11.7ish on 285whp single cam cx hatch. theres no bs involved. theres timeslips and dyno sheets.

 

and my bad... i thought you were talking about the b7 not the jdm d15 those do have potential

 

when i had the stock d15b7 in my 4dr and i got smoked by a 50cc moped. i almost cried.
i wanted to buy that motor off the guy but thumper got it first...now i can buy it in another 4dr for a DD

 

not worth it! unless you got money to just throw away

 

they are junk... hopefully fjt comes out with those forged rods for it soon. So i can run a vitara setup in mine.

 

you could always throw a built y8 bottom end in there. after that moped incident i got a y8 head and it was fun for awhile till i got i too confident in the tiny motor and blew it up trying to go over the railroad tracks before train went by (no railroad crossing bars)i didnt get hit but my engine was junk then. spun a bearing i think at 9500rpm
so the moral of the story is boost a dseries or get a gsr motor. thats what i did and now thats turbo. me VS. train. round 2

 

thanks for the input. i was talking about a turbo on a puny d15b7..not jdm, not vtec. i still think its a cool concept.

 

are you talking about teh jdm d15? that uses the same rods as the d16z6, so large aftermarket and easily turbo ready with some moeny.

if you are talking about a d15b7, for 200 bones, one ebay there are OEM rods that have been shotpeened and magnafluxxed, Ive seen one guy do 320hp on it. with a good tune you can run it reliably. even with those rods and only setup for 180hp, you can blow the motor. its all in the tune

 

my buddy made 240whp on his B7. a good tune goes a long way. he had the bottom end balanced to 10k rpm though. it makes a big difference, even if you are not revving the **** outta the motor.

 

well then I could be wrong... its not like it hasnt happened many times before lol. I just didnt know anything was at all possible on the B7.

 

well I know with stock internals, the b7 can take 170whp no problem. when you get past 200, thats where you want a FLAWLESS tune, and need to be careful about boost. thise B7 rods are puny, I haev a set of them on my computer desk as we speak, and my thumb might prove stronger and thicker then them lol
