I was planning on swapping out my d15b7 for the d16y8, then going for the turbo, but what do you guys think about just boosting my current engine?

 

bump

 

i hear its not a good idea... but i dont care haha i just got a GREDDY kit and im puttin it on my D15 this weekend

 

u got a b7 too? let me know how it turns out. good luck

 

yepo got B7... it has low miles so hopefully it will hold up.. (62000miles)

 

mines going on 116000 so i dunno

 

nothing wrong with that man.
it'll be fast.

wont be as fast as a d16z6 or d15 vtec(jdm)
but it'll be fast.

and its a cheap motor, so if anythign goes wrong and you blow your motor, it wont be a big deal cuz you were gonna swap it anyways!

 

yea im not expectin to be blowin peoples doors off... i just wanna havea car to have fun in... well while it lasts haha

 

i also want to replace the tranny..i hear good things about the si/ex trannies in 6th gen. would that be able to work on a d15b7?

 

I got one on my D15... 113hp and 124lb-ft at the wheels (Mustang dyno). Motor's are ~$100 a piece so it doesnt really matter if it blows.

 

is yours making 113 just because of the tranny? what i plan for mine in next spring is new tranny, basic bolt ons such as CAI, 2.5 exhaust with straight through cat(already got a straight through muffler) and basic mods for a turbo. i been looking at diff threads on a good turbo but no one talks about what would work for a b7. anyone have input i would appreciate it

 

bump....

 

anyone with good info on turbo for my b7?
