I would like to run about 8 psi, daily driven...nothing too crazy...just mildly stock on a stock d15b. What is needed to add to the greddy kit to boost 8lbs safely? Im thinking of upgrading the 15g turbo to a t3 60 trim turbo, add a intercooler, and a cool bov . Do i have to get some type of fuel management or does the kit already come with it? What would you guys recommend?

 

to get maximum performance id run a standalone just for future use. might wanna hop over to the FI forum they would help you a lil more

 

imo, if youre gonna shell out the money for the greddy kit, spend a little more and get the drag or the edelbrock kit. edelbrock is by far the most complete kit ive ever seen. but if your stuck on the greddy. it should come with a good bov, the turbo is already properly matched to your application, and it should come with the greddy e-manage piggyback computer which is next best thing to standalone. also depending on what sohc you have i would be hard pressed to push over 7psi and still retain street driven reliability. but like i said, thats just my opinion.

hm...so i see...ill keep that in mind. anyone else?

 

would it also be best to chip my p28? or would my fuel management do all of the tuning?

 

I plan on putting a greddy kit on my car running 7-8 daily and 10 ont eh weekend. No upgraded internals no standalone. AFC hack here I come. I bought my kit used so no emanage

BTW I have a D16Y5

And can the guy who said he wouldnt go past 7 psi and retain streetability please explain the theory behind that opinion....i amjust curious not bashing

I could have sworn that the greddy kit didn't come with a bov or intercooler. Plus the greddy blue box that comes with the kit sucks ***** and is not the next best thing to standalone. Also you can be reliable over 7psi.

 

I had the greddy kit and its pretty good for what it is. If you just get a johnnyracecar intercooler and a blow off valve it will be good for up to 200whp on a stock block. The blue box isn't as bad as everyone says but if you already have a p28 i would go the uberdata route. If you are gonna start upgrading then just build a kit from scratch.

I went up to 11psi on the blue box and stock fuel system for over 6 months. My engine only bent a rod when i over boosted to 17 psi with no fuel. And even then it still ran, just with a knocking sound.

 

17 psi??!! what engine was that on?!

Greddy kits come with emanage but no IC piping or IC I am not sure about BOV (I dont think it does though)

 

nope, no bov. there intercooler kits start at $695 . Right now im saving for the kit with intercooler.Right around 2500 dollars with everything i will need.thats kit,intercooler,bov,gauges,timer, and head gaskit,studs and vlock gaurd. everything but boost controler.butyou can adjust it off the wastegate so no problem there.

 

the intercooler kit is a rip off.

get a http://johnnyracecar.com/ ic for $190 + $50 for piping and you are all set.

good stuff so this is what i have to get in order to boost higher right?

Im thinking of...

greddy turbo kit
johnny racer intercooler
blitz bov (do you guys know any bov that sounds like a high pitch whistle?)
afc hack
440 injectors
pillars and gauges
turbo timer

is that all i need for turbo?

I would go custom. You can get all you need off ebay. Use Uberdata (FREE) to manage it all. Get a blowoff vavle and pipes .

I'd get new rods and pistons.

 

im not going to boost that high...i dont plan to go all out.

I'm assuming he means by picking up mandrel bent pipes and fabbing the ic pipes. They can be picked up for fairly reasonable prices on the net. Try http://www.jcwhitney.com.

Say good bye to your motor. Very few have D15's with FI or 'juice', but they know exactly what they are doing.

Your D15B has extrememly weak rods. IF you run a GReddy kit, leave it on the stock setting of 5 psi.....that is if you wanna save what you can of your motor. I'd recommend you try and find a D16Z6/Y8 block to swap out. At least the motor would last a hell of a lot longer.

There are plenty of people on here reliably boosting more than 5psi on a d15b.

USDM D15's right?.....102hp non-VTEC.....not the JDM D15 w/ VTEC?

I've read/heard of 3 people on here running a USDM D15, but they have also been here for a long *** time and know what their doing. Most of the people I hear about boosting a 1.5 lose their motor shortly after.

Either way I'd never do it, cause I've seen way too many shattered rods. And an extra $FREE-$200 D16 block wouldn't hurt. More power and better reliability than a D15B7. Plus there cheap and easy to find.

I'm all for SOHC motors, just check my sig, but be sure to treat and maintain it right with what ever path you choose.

 

CUSTOM KIT!!! just buy a turbo manifold instead of using an HF or STD is my only advice from past experience (simply because of problems with the adapter plates). Run a t25 of a 2nd gen or 14b off a 1st gen DSM, have your charge pipes made @ local exhaust shop, and manage with Apexi AFC (or what have you) hackin on the 440's . . . and yeah . . . johhny race cars IC's are the **** . . if you dont get punk'd on prices . . . you should come out a lil cheaper

"Boost doesn't kill a motor , horsepower does" , tuning is everything my man and I have the above set up on my JDM d15b vtec except im using a VAFC and IMO, I wouldnt push anything over 220 hp on stock rods , daily driven of course . . .
