Suggested Turbocharging Ideas for D15B7 engine

[honda_zivic]

get a b18b out of a integra gsi an boost it. least its a 1.8ltr compare to 1.5ltr d15b7 engine.
to get 300hp out of that little engine u have build the internals otherwise ur engine will turn into bbq.

people on here dont like d series. and they will always point u to a b or k series.



imo dont boost it unless u have a 2nd car to get around. in case u run into problems. least u have a get around car.

OK, so it seems that its possible to turbo a D15B7 without killing it as long as I upgrade the injectors, and most are using the TG3, TG4, T25G or T28 turbos (they seem like Garrett numbers to me) and custom building their own system... most D15B7's seem to die without upgrading the injectors... and most can reach between 230hp and 260hp at the wheels... this is comparable to a WRX (which is what I'm aiming for because stock they are they best value for money and power to weight)...

anybody know of anyone on the forum who has had experience with building turbo kits that you might be able to point me in their direction for some advice?

i got a d15b7 as well an built the kit myself.
if i was u just get a small turbo bcoz its more of a friendly turbo for daily which gives a nice punch at low rpms.
unless u can live with the lagi turbo that kicks in like at 5000rpm an up, then get a big turbo, will make far more power than a smaller 1.

d15, i wudnt go more than 200whp. as it can fall apart unless ur build the engine up. also stay unda 10psi.
just get a greddy kit mate saves u hassles, bcoz ur only lookin at decent power.

ur best bet as mention b4 go on d-series or turbod16.com theres heaps of people running 300whp an went into 10s 1/4mile.

yer i went and had a look there... nice little rebellion against B-Series engines there (hehe)... thanks for all the help guys... I think I have a build in my head that I wanna do... just need to talk to my mate who's done this kind of thing before and resist the urge for him to try and to me into letting him wind the boost up and try and make it a rex / godzilla killa... lol

as long as the tune is fine, than it be fine, keep the knock levels as low as u can, an always, always run 98 octane, actually get the car tuned on 98 octane fuels.... ur car will love it for the better

200hp in a civic, is more than enough fun

as honda_zivic said your better off getting a b18b as they are a good engine to boost and to get good results

b18b is the same as d16, at most it can only hack 250hp before something happens... stick to d-series, more parts an easier to fix if it goes bust

or if ur a baller and have too much money get a h22+itr gearbox+forged internals+turbo+suspension mods+brakes and u have a 10sec car. but will cost a fair bit,
i was gona go this route but fuk it waste of money end of day its still a civic thats worth 4k.lol

and the amount of money to make car street legal as well unless u like coping defects an getting ur parts removed an cleared.
also if u dont tell ur insurance the car is turboed then they can refuse ur claim in a accident an u wont get shit all.

lol... i'm gonna go 1 of 2 routes...

Boost my D15B7, or engine swap... i'm not doing both...

anyone know of anyone in Brisbane good with boosting honda motors?

Gday mate,

If your going down the boost path have some simple advice

* Make sure the motor your are going to turbocharge is resonably healthy
* Research tried a proven combinations
* Purchase quality parts / kit (stay away from polish shit off ebay)
* Swing a few spanners yourself to save you some money
* Look after it when finish. TLC - good oil fuel etc...

its not hard

[89lude]

just get a d16a8 zc motor and boost that

[Sexc86]

The topic is based on the fact he doesnt want to swap out his motor....

If your going to do an engine conversion you dont swap in any sort of D16 - Sohc or Dohc
