turbo my civic????

[htchking]

i was wondering if i could turbo my d15b motor without fucking up something?

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

yeah.

[htchking]

could give me some sights or something more bout doing it cuz i cant find or even seen it done

[Negrodamus]

go DOHC atleast b18b

[Mr_S13®]

No, you can turbo it...I personally have seen many very fast sohc motors with turbo kits. And as far as your d15b...it is really no different than the z6...so any of the sohc turbo kits for you car would work flawlessly.

WORD! ^^^

My buddy had a 94 coupe with a lightly built SOHC and he ran a 12 flat in the quarter on 16psi. It was a beast. His kit was all pieced together tho.
I think even edelbrock makes a turbo kit especially for the d series motors and im sure there are tons of other kits out there.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

www.turbod16.com don't go dohc,stick to the sohc it has potential and its cheaper. about 1300 you can get a pretty good setup and dust gsr's with ease. stock internals can hold 8-10 psi.

For a bout 1300 you can get a 1st or 2nd gen b16 or atleast save a lil and get a gsr, why spend 1300 for a turbo kit and have the same hp as a gsr with a intake? Unless you like the sound of a BOV.

btw...i do have a d16 and in the process of goin b18b turbo.

if you want big numbers do the swap.

[THEONE]

ask me what not to do if you decide to go with the getto set up.

i already have a b16, i was asking where the prices of 1300 for b16's come from.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

Ur a dumbass haha. Iif you really wanna be cheap u could spend at least 800 on a getto-rigged turbo kit and still make more hp than a gsr and a lot more more torque. 1500 on a jdm b16 get u what? Probably no axles ecu mounts.... That extra 1000 or so you could spend on some internals and possibly hit low 13s high 12s.... But if you got the money for both the swap and turbo...go for it

Hey Jesse, you want a spare B16A2 block, with a freshly machined crank?

[green91]

you can easily make more HP than a GSR on stock internals d-series and boost. some of its in the setup - make your own kit... but the most important thing is engine management!!! i highly recommend turboedit for obd0 and uberdata for obd1. obd2 tuning is nearly non-existant

[BTEC]

E@E im guessing you're selling it, for how much. Is that the block that i heard was cracked?

[scttydb411]

don't listen to those that say ghetto turbos and d-series aren't worth it:

i'm too lazy to retype all that, but read that thread.

more whp and tq than a gsr w/ bolt on's for way less time and money. i say boost it and use it to learn on then step up and use the turbo kit for a cheap b-series like an b18b.

there's something to be said about pulling on someone that's dumped a a##load of $$ into a swap and then being able to say, "it's just a sohc non-vtec."

yeah,i guess im wrong.listen to him^^^ and when you screw your engine up im sure he will be happy to buy you another.....remeber my friend i went the "getto" route...i use to sound like you..look how much i saved on my ugly assed getto turbo set up, and yes you will save money but im sure all of it will cover all the damage to your engine.in the end you will wish you had bought the real deal. and whats this obsession with comparing everything to a gsr?and who cares how much someone else spent to get thier car the way they want it.but if i had to chose and i still had my crx i would choose the gsr swap over the getto turbo any day.but do what you want,its your car

so you think if its not a production kit its going to fubar your car? youve got a thing or two to learn man. i made my own kit and have had 0 problems.

great im glad you made your own kit,and no i dont think a production kit will not do any harm.you can have the best turbo kit on the market.but if you dont have a reliable engine and fuel mangement then you will have problems.
and im sure your kit works great,my last homemade kit work better than all of my other kits.the reason i gave this guy this advice is so he does not blow his money and his motor on the wrong stuff.since hes asking about kits he proably does not know what to look for to put together a low buck kit.
i could build him a low boost 6-7psi kit intercooled for 500.00 with stock injectors and a fmu or 750.00 with a safc2 and dsm 450cc injectors. and i fab my own manifolds from scratch im quite the little metal fabricatorand my kit would last along time and maybe never have a single problem...im trying to give this guy a push in the right direction and people keep saying im wrong.hmmmm sounds like you need to learn a thing or two.
i know what it is , its turbo envy since your kit is getto the thought of someone else having quailty stuff bothers you doesnt it?oh well just dont screw this guy up ok...thanks

and this one too.

[Negrodamus]

Do it the right way the first time. Either way you go you're going to have to spend some change so why not do it right

[Negrodamus]

SOHC turbo is like a skinny guy in a muscle shirt.

sohc turbo puts down respectable #s

im just so used to hearing people say im gonna blow my motor because its not a greddy kit.. blah blah... i thought you were knocking on home-made setups my apologies

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

i got a ghetto kit with a new turbo not junkyard turbo and I'm still fine. I got d series pride haha with the money you can put into a swap you can come CLOSE to building a d series capable of low 13's high 12's...

i would not consider your kit getto,it looks good to me.the only thing on yours thats homemade is the piping,right?oh and i love that b.o.v heres a picture of a getto kit ..its a big picture so you can see the fine getto detail.

[scttydb411]

i think your intentions are misguided, but well intended. do i mean go out and buy a junkyard turbo that you know absolutely nothing about??? hell no...unless you plan on rebuilding it before you use it or only if you can attest that it's not wasted and blowing oil and bad bearings/bushings.

here's the deal...i've been boosted for over 2 years on a stock internal d-series non-vtec w/ homemade kit. 193whp/187wtq. never had to do anything besides basic maintenence (oil, plugs, cap/rotor, wires, tires, clutch, etc). i'd say that's pretty damn reliable considering i've seen people w/ prefab kits lose their motor in 2 months. it's all about research and tune!!

how do you want to do it? can you afford a premade kit? can you afford to build your own kit w/ new parts? are you willing to do the right research and find the best deals on the most reliable part of your system (turbo) and be willing to wait a while?

i'd suggest building your own kit w/ new parts if you can afford it. don't skimp on the turbo. even on my homemade kit i made sure i bought a low mile almost new turbo, but it was used. therefore, part together your kit w/ all new parts and get the management you want (uberdata, crome, hondata, etc) instead of having to buy a kit and toss the management that comes w/ it.

if you want a more simplified and inexpensive turbo on your car talk to charles at mainstream performance and me about uberdata. you'll have a great kit w/ what you need.

[TommyD1919]

I would love to buy a B16 hydro swap for $1300.00... Hell Im in for 10 at that price... I pay $1900.00 and up for them...

As far as a turboing the D15... Buy a used greddy kit (with the blue box) for about $800.00.... Its made for the D16Z6 but will bolt up with 0 problems... Run it non intercooled at 4lbs... or buy a $150.00 ebay special IC and have some pipes made and run 7lbs... Safely.... Beyond that it will die a miserable death... I have put about 15 kits on D15 cars.....
