are their turbo kits for a d15z1 vtec-e?

 

well in reality any kit for any dsieries will work. all the bolt patterns on the exhaut mani are the same. but it might not be portmatched to you specific application. also the vx tb is way smaller so you would prbably need an adapter. but for the most part any turbo for a sohc d16y8/z6 will work.

no but you make a custom built though.

I wouldn't bother turbocharging a vtec-e engine since it already runs extremly lean from the factory and made for fuel economy. not that all honda civics are designed that way in the first place from the factory. now if it was a regular d15 non-vtec, it would be a better choice. it's your choice

 

i understand that it is not a power house however, no one ever builds up a d15z1, i would like to, what are some good brand to look for?

well even if it is true, i say you build it anyway prove him wrong. if it runs lean just get bigger injectors, upgrade to a p28, bump up fuel pressure, or do a mini me with a z6 or y8 head. there are lots of ways to fix that problem. if you buy an fmax kit it comes with 2 additional mf2 controlled injectors in the throttle body.
