I searched but can not find anything about a mini me d15 turbo (d16z6 head) is it possible to run about 5-6 psi safely on this set up?? because i was told the head will higher compresion. thanks

 

you can do this setup, but its a little pointless because the dx blocks are so weak. you might as well get whole d16z6 and turbo it.

 

it's not the block that is weak. it's the cranks that blow.

our are better off getting a d16 (16 valve type) and go from there

 

This is my first tubo engine so i wanted to turbo something that i know i wouldnt care about if blows haha, in the future i plan on turboing a B series. If im on about 5 psi on the d15, and i do not drive it to hard, will it last atleast 20k miles?

 

Mini Me d15/d16z6 head
Rods are pretty weak as well. I ran about 7 daily with 440dss and a fpr.
When it blew im not sure how much i was boosting

 

5-6psi is nothing as long as its properly fueled.
have fun

 

something went wrong there..

as long as you get the good fuel management/tuned, you should be fine but I wouldn't go more than 7psi..

 

i would say to keep the boost at 5. make sure that you get it tuned or you will have big problems.

 

I've had 2 mini-me turbos, both came out real good, 1 a6 minime and a b2 minime. Just go easy on your timing, and make sure shes tuned good.

i have a mini me as my backup motor right now.. boosting 10psi with afc hack on a b-series 18g turbo.. colder plugs, retarded timing.. so far so good.. been going about a month and a half now.. probaly already has about 4k put on it racing

 

rods are the weak point, along with the rings lands.

 

thanks for all the replys What type or fuel management do you guys suggest? and what size injectors? The turbo i thinking of going with is a conquest turbo, becuse i heard the stock psi setting would be around 5-6 psi is this turbo good for low boost? thanks agin

 

does any one know what type of fuel management would be good for this set up?

 

I have been running a D15b7 @ 5-6 psi for like 5 months now.. Still running strong.. I am using DSM 450s w/ AFC for fuel.

 

you can turbo anything just push it untill it blows up who cares.
