Default Forced induction on a 1.5 tbi civic/crx

I got a 1.5 tbi d15b2 (think thats it?) anyways with 75 shot of nitrous and a few other bolt ons I used to run a 14.7 , just curious if anyone here as done any turbos or nitrous with their throttle body injection 1.5's.

I think its kind of cool when those little engines can be made fast cause no one takes the time to do it.

I think if I hadn't bought a b16 for so cheap I would do a turbo 1.5 cause I talked to one guy with one and he was running a 13.8 on a stock motor.
So, if anyone out there has done some cool experiments on their 1.5's let me know cause I would be curious to hear about them as would others I'm sure.

What will be cheaper and better in the long run is an engine swap. You will most likely regret pouring so much into a 1.5 and then just sell it or toss it aside cuz you want more power, build it right, but first off get the faster engine. But if you do wanna go turbo i know plenty of guys who have done 1.6 turbos, sorry dont know anyone with a 1.5. Here is a webpage of 2 guys who actually built their own turbos on their 1.6s it may work with some mods to your car.
