Just wondering if anyone has ever used one of those cheap eBay turbo kits on their D15/D16 and if so if it was any good. Also what kinda of power increase are we talking about here for these little motors?
yeah dont waste ur money on ebay crap....save up ur money and get a good kit from a turbo company...yea it mite cost a good pretty penny but if u want power u gotta pay for it..good luck thoChewiSi said:i would say it would make a less output then any high end kit, but it'll last about 2 weeks and you'll have a broken manifold/turbo/motor. not worth it, do some research and get good quality s**t. worth it every bit. DONT BUY THAT EBAY CHEAPO SSAUTOCRAP s**t
it all depends on the tune, turbo size, wich d15, how much psi and some other s**t. If you want to boost then I suggest you buy yourself a kit, install it then go get it tuned. That's the only way you're going to know the gains. Now I can understand your question so I'll try to answer it as best I can. With a d15b7, a 14b turbo, a piggyback tune @7psi, I say about 150hp or so to the wheels maybe. It's hard to say tho, I'm just guessing it could be even lowermaxsideburn said:what kind of gains are we talking about when turboing the D15? (And I'm not talking about 20psi, I'm talking about reasonable boost, 6-7psi.)
ok, thats great bro! thats the major thing that you want to look out for...welding two different metals together isnt a good idea...especcially when a large amount of heat is going to be present. 8)boostedb16 said:well my manifold is a cast type, there is nothing stainless about it, so mine should be fine.
you should be fine with only 6lb's of boost. dont go crazy and crank it up...thats when you really can mess things up. I would suggest doing some more reading on it so that you know about it more...!jay_quints said:i got a d17 05 civic and im looking to boost but i head for these little engines its a pain and hard to maintain and also easy to blow but i only wanna run 6 punds wat do you think i should do?and the turbo kit isnt from ebay my bro bought it off a site and is selling it to me for 250 full kit
