hey ive got a d15 motor with 150000 on it....
but i heard of the budget boost and im pretty sure ive found most of what i need and have the tools to do it.
but like i said ive got some miles on my car and im wondering if my honda engine will stand up to the challenge...? thanx!!

 

Go for it. I have 105k on my car and it runs as strong as the day I bought it.

 

my car with 126,000 miles compression tested between 210 -200 psi for all 4 cylinders. id say do it, just dont run too much boost or anything else unsafe you should be cool- these hondas run forever

 

boost the wee d15 till it blows parts out the block.

 

i put my greddy kit on my d16 at 247,000 and now im at 259,000.

do a compression test, if the results turn out good, then boost it.

 

no dyno, im still at stock boost pressure (5.5 psi) and only upgrades are dsm sidemount and a bov. still running through stock exhaust and cat which is hurting my power but will be my next mod. compression #'s are 190,185,180,180.

 

thanx guys i was actually just about not to do it because my friends def werent on my side.
but hey.... i need boost
ill go get the compression checked
and tell ya guys what its looking like
ooo yah and if neone has something i might need jus leave a price
and.... 14b or t25??? which ones better
thanx

yeah, make sure you get the compression checked before anything...good luck, as mentioned, if done right, the motor should last for awhile with proper maintenance and boost "control" on your part

 

i talked to my friend and he says he has the tool thingy to checkur compression with.. its something that u screw into where ur spark plug would be right??
but we dont know how do u use it
do u just put it in and crank over the engine or what???

 

A friend and I put a homemade kit on his d15 in his 93dx at 153k and drove it 10psi daily for about 8k miles before headgasket blew. It only blew because of high mileage and hard driving at the track......do it if its been kept up and you will continue to do so, itll last just fine.

 

yah i boosted my d15b7 with 153000 on it....i ran all the way up to 10 psi on it but the headgasket eventually went on it. $28 later it was back on the road and pullin hard. also the t-25 will make it easier for routing charge pipes. the 14b is a little bigger but not really noticable for your application, so i would go with the t25. i also ran a blue box for management and i was pretty pleased with the results. if you are just going to using for a daily driver and dont want to mess with a lot of tuning it is the way to go, if you are trying to get every possible bit of performance out of it then i would invest in a little nicer management. i also ran a starion frontmount to keep charge temps down a little, dsm bov, and 2" charge piping. good luck man and dont listen to your friends. they will eat their words when you spool past em

totally man.. take care of that honda motor, it will last you for-eVaR!



get a compression check done first.. go from there.

 

how do i check the compression
we have the thingyto do it
it looks like it screws into the spark plug hole
but what do i do after that?

 

bump neone?
