Problems on d15b turbos

[mr_tec]

fuck dreamer

[thirdson]

im only trying to find information on turbo d series engines..dont need the flaming..and yes i may be a newbi but atleast im trying to research/find out on what i "dream" of...

[DURTYEF3]

Your right in researching what you "Dream" of and its good cause alot of people dont do that. To be honest, theres a few people that have already posted that have turbo setups, maybe not D15B turbos but still, very similar, boosted hondas. These people obviously speaking from experience etc

And Mike is quite right, you can build a turbo d15b with a budget depending on what you can source or a deal or what not, but its not a case of if it will blow its when. I say if you research more and work out what you realisticly want to spend. If by then when you have all the information and research etc it looks likely you can get it done then do it. And dont forget to do a build thread.. lol

my 2 cents

[CoupeTurbo]

if you have no idea about it, which it would seem, i suggest you either go and find a reputable shop that can do the work for you talk to them about it, and if you do it get a proper tune done ...

[mr_tec]

they go roughly like putting a b18c in an eg altho wouldnt you perfer the comfort of knowing your "cheap" setup won't blow because you didnt spend "good" money on the engine aswell

[thirdson]

yeah of course it will be done professionally..theres no way a DIY job will be done on it saying i dont know much about turbing an NA..

if i was to get my d turbed, ofcourse i wont take shortcuts, that'll just be suicide..but yeah a b18 sounds real good..but then again, having a turbo NA sounds nicer..

but yeah..im still researching and reading up on build threads/sites and finding little things out that kinda makes me wanna go and change to a B or just keep my D15 stock since not alota people have them on these days..

are you saying its going to cost as much as putting in a b18c??or is it cheaper getting a b18 conversion??

[mr_tec]

it goes the same as b18c, prolly cheaper doing a b18c by the time you get in all the parts for the dninja have it built, tuned, worn in, retuned but yea id have to agree with you id rather have a turbo tec

what the hell do u mean by a turbo NA?, its EITHER turbo, or NA

[CoupeTurbo]

thats how i read that also... if you put a turbo on it, its no longer na ...

dont mean to be rude but are you actually planning on doing this or not?

[hybrid_H]

thers no way you'l get fuel economy on a d series turbo. your obviously going to run more fuel when you boost. even off boost, it'l run slightly richer.

you cant just take into account speed. you'l be making around the same power as a b18cr (if you dont know what that is its a type r integra engine) but have more torque.

but that main thing is that you have to consider reliabilitly. are you ging to forge, sleeve etc the engine? or are u wanting to keep the block stock?

if your going to keep a stock block, then ur engine wont be as reliable as a stock b series, regardless of how much u thrash it.

[bumpd-EG]

turbo hondas are pretty much the best.
but turbo d I would love to find out

right now im stil researching and seeing what people think bout the turbo ds..and most of the people are telling me that going b will be better..saying itll be lighter on the pockets and stuff..and someones told me maybe even going b18cr..

[miketurb0honda]

my turbo zc same as d series lasted 4 years runing from 10-15psi on vf8 turbo ,
from the looks of it i dont think you should try modify your car yourself , which means a turbo setup is gonna cost you heaps !!!!!!

[chrisr]

Have a look on www.D-series.org under the turbo section

[Coupe-R]

Decent tune and off bost economy you could make even better if you wanted to

[G-FX]

dont go down this path... what you want will cost you a fuck load of $$$ - trust me.

[b16a2]

id say turbo d will go alot better than b18c or even b18cr with bolt ons and tune.. people making 150-160wkw on hondatech all day everyday without anything special and if you do it proply with good tune it will be reliable and comfortable for a daily driver... plus d series are lighter than b so id rather have turbo D anyday than na b18c/r eg

[Coupe-R]

turbo D will be faster than a B18CR in a straight line I would say. More power and torque if done correctly.

However do it properly, cause if it is done half assed I know which motor would last longer at the track.

unless you are building a daily, brrrrrmmmmmmmm psssshhhhhhhh

LOLOHSOMUCHLY

buy a cheap b18c, drop it and teh car off somewhere, and get it fitted by someone who has a clue. If you paid for a turbo d, the problems that WILL arise you wont have a clue about, where as the b18c shouldnt suffer much at all so itd be clean sailing.

IF you had a clue, id say go turbo, nothing beats a boosted honda, amazing shizz

either way its gunna cost ya by the sounds of it, waste of money with 4.5g b18c eg's on the market..

[thirdson]

yeah pretty much the whole internals are going to have to be redone..but people get round 400Horsies out of the d ninja but theyve done it with proper motorsport mechanics so yeah..

turbing the b18c sounds mint ass aye..dont have to get much done to it and its pretty much plug n play till the long run when you get enough money to get internal parts..but yeah thinking b18c or b18cr..dont know yet..thinking if the xtra four grand is worth for the r

[Hayce]

If you want to turbo it, it's not.

what drags were you at last time sam??

Some good opinions in this thread.

Research slapping a snail on the D some more if you have a slight hankering (still) to do it. Someone posted a link to d-series.org above, there's also turbod16.com I think it is. Heaps of good info to be had there.

Forged, well 'built' and properly tuned turbo D's are more than capable (IMO) of whooping the arse off most (if not all) tuned B series engines you'll see in this country, wkw wise and on road conditions IMO. But they're not cheap. 400hp (if you even wanted to go that far that is) sure np, if you're pockets are VERY deep. Even when fully 'built' though, highly stressed engine IMO with potential for expensive disaster. but fuck, 400whp D sure would be fun.

Turbo'd on a budget (roughly anywhere from 140-200hp), I believe you could make a rather reliable turbo D (which would no doubt some day go pop though, or may not) for around 3 - 5k, 3k being if you're 'in the know' or have good friends who are. Good tuning is the key.

A B series conversion (given your situation) will probably work out cheaper and easier with way less potential for pain/head/arseache down the road, yet good potential for more and easier to achieve power should you decide to whack a snail on that too in the future.

Research and prepare for turbo D if you really want, but B series conversion ftw, IMO too.

lol he cant of been at the Jtune ones (altho he was)... uhm my trap speeds were as high, if not higher than some b18cR's.. but also had a pretty much blown box, no traction at all.. and loose sparkplugs causing vtec boost hampsters to escape...
