I’ve researched multiple forums of d15z1’s being turbo charged before and never got a clear answer from other people that have done it. I was gonna go b series because that’s what everybody recommends but for it being your first turbo car is fun on a “budget”. Now I am here to tell you about my build since nobody wants to give out the secrets. Overall I’m about more than $4000 into this build. I could’ve gone cheaper but went with some parts that won’t break as easy. First off went with a $750 ebay turbo kit with a ar.5863 and other cheap parts with it but worked. Went with OBX 10:1 FMU, Stock P07 ecu(yes stock) runs really lean, Glowshift wideband and boost gauge, R888r’s, Ebay timing belt and water pump, ARP head studs,ebay lca’s, 1320 perf fab exhaust(deep and quiet), Comp clutch stage 3, Speed Factory 3 bar map sensor, new wheel studs, Supertech block guard, OEM head gasket, OEM distributor, ngk spark plug wires, ngk bkr7e v-power, 10W-30, 5 Bolt DNA motoring downpipe, ebay dump tube, RC injectors 440cc, 255 fuel pump, stock internals and transmission, logging viper alarm, pushing 6-7 psi. Last night was fine tuning the car after fixing the exhaust leak and wastegate pressure was at the lowest amount spring rate and did 5 pulls at 21+ pounds and felt like a 300hp car.Car was boosted on 08/29/20 and blew up 09/23/20. Overall car was fun and would do it again. This car was daily driven 2k+ miles in less than a month and was the most reliable car I have driven turbocharged. Love the car to death and am getting a d16y8 and putting the turbo kit back on it. Gonna be the same build but with different motor. Car was about approximately 160 with the stock ecu and am getting a hondata with the new motor and we are looking at 200+ on stock internals. Message me for any information!
