Is this a good set-up? Has anyone done this? I would figure a D16 would be safer but I am having no luck finding one.

 

No luck finding a d16? Hmm...well, I can think of one guy on here who had something like 200 to the wheels. I'm not sure his name but maybe he'll post on here. Oh yeah, search! (sorry, everyone always says that)

 

Very good setup. I seen some amazing numbers.

 

D15 = weak rods + boost = Duuud.

They can't handle a 50 shot, so factor that # in.

 

there was an article in the April issue of Honda Tuning about a budget boost on a d15 made of "mitsubishi leftovers". Pretty good article, see if you cant find it, it has good info

i wonder what d15 that is??? if you look in my sig you will see that they can handle more than a 50 shot. its only a 60 for now.

but any way wheather he builds a d16 or d15 he will eventualy have to build the bottom on both.

 

user, "eg6turbo" has a jdm d15 sohc vtec turbo setup, and i believe he is putting over 200hp to the wheels at 10psi.

 

the JDM d15b rods are just as strong as the d16...the USDM d15 rods are weak..but ive seen some people who boost 6-8psi with stock internals

 

thanks guys...yes i have the d15b vtec and should be pushing 220 whp with 10 psi with some tunning that going to be done on my vafc hack...read the sig and dyno for the none believers...it wasnt hard but im trying to get into 250 but that will take a lil more time...feel free to ask any questions

You only have luck on your side for now running a DX w/ 60 shot.

1.5 SOHC VTEC motors have stronger rods than a 1.5 SOHC non-VTEC. Meaning they can handle the boost.

Try looking at these places for D16 longblocks or full swaps:

im sorry but that is crap. i have run my nitrous on this engine countless times, and it is still running great, there is alot to be said for proper maintenance. i understand that it is close to its limit but it is not there yet. i have seen stock bottom end d15b7's running a higher shot then that. it is all in the tuning also. i am not trying to say that it is the best motor out there. but any way even if the rods are weak, just change them out, it is something that will inevitably have to be done to almost any motor trying to put down some serious power.

Damn thats a big *** tq number!! I wouldn't expect that from a 1.5! Nice!

 

yeah car pulls hard but my friends ls turbo just torques me out...i make peak at about4 grand and he makes more tq then me at 3200....but it is a dohc....but i can hang with him for a lil bit...

 

What type of turbo setup do you currently own turbo d15.. I like to know what is your setup like and what are you using as far as components go for the Turbo..

 

if u mean me i have a d15b vtec motor with a greddy kit and custom intercooler...and fuel management is vafc hack with 440cc injectors and walbro high pressure intank fuel pump...thats it....

 

Hey eg6turbo is your car a daily driver? I am very interested in doing a set-up similar to what you have.

 

yes everyday of the year....and at 9 psi daily for now with the afc hack...

 

Thats perfect. I asked a friend about the vtec 1.5 and he tried to tell me it was good for nothing. I guess I will have to teach him a lesson.

 

well the vx 1.5 vtec is ok but the jdm 1.5 vtec is

 

Yeah I will go with the jdm 1.5 vtec.

 

hey eg6turbo..where did you get your front lip?

 

I think it is off of his old G2 integra

 

that is correct....90 inetgra lip...will go si lip soon

 

nice.. i just got my a civic also, i'm old school with turbos. Anyone know max limit of the d15z1? sohc vtec 1.5L usdm version, i need about 230hp. I've done b18b/vtec to 300 hp stock block so this shouldn't be hard?

eg6turbo - i met you before at cmi, i'm daniels friend (white civic with 11 flat timeslips ring a bell?)..maybe when i get everything together i can talk to you about it?
