I've read many threads about the topic of rods and listens for the D15B7, but they were all over 10 years old, do forged rods and pistons exist for this motor? Or would it be more cost effective to use a d16 block? I already have a y8 head and chipped p28. Want to build a d series turbo.
No I don't want a b series, k, h, or j. I just want a turbo d series to learn how to drive and maintain a boosted car.
Thanks in advance

 

if you can find a jdm d15b crank, you can then use ls/b16 rods. if not, ditch it and go d16.

 

There are forged rods, They are listed as D15B2 rods. Same rods as the B7. Pistons, same thing.

The D15B2 and the D15B7 have the same block specs, journal size/width and all. Same deck height etc. I think the differences are in the head portion of the combustion chamber.

thank you very much my friend!!!

 

Are you planning on adding a vtec head? Your build idea sounds identical to mine but I'm going to add a vtec head.

 

What size pistons are you going to use?
