Problems on d15b turbos

[thirdson]

I was just wondering what problems people have come across with d15 turbo engines. Ive read the past d15 turb threads and on one of them someone said there are heapsa problems you can come across on the way.
Also hows the fuel management on them? Do they burn more fuel or do they stay the same? someone had also told me that turbing a d15 will make heapsa wheelspin when taking off normally. is this true?

[thirdson]

I am trying to see if its worth turbing my d15 or just leave it or get a b series engine.

Search a bit more dude, yeah you will get a bit more wheelspin and on boost you will use more fuel. If you aren't to keen on getting involved in how it all works, a b swap is porbably the way to go. Will not net a good result without a decent understanding of the turbocharging process.

Impressively subdued!

I'd agree, unless you go all out on it you'll be polishing a turd & given your questions above, opening yourself up for a lot of head aches. Stick a B in it, read up, ask questions & learn then if you still want to turbo something, turbo the B.

sweet..might aswell switch to B..lesser parts to look for i heard

Common question these days, Have a read of this thread, altho its regarding a different engine, theres way too many things that you need to take into consideration

Turbo my F20b

[thirdson]

damn..don't like the sound of hidden costs..

[bumpd-EG]

yeah man like a few ppl have said, unless you know whats going on a turbo honda isnt the best idea

yeah tru that..saw the pics of your eg and thot i want that hehehe..but yeh..ill think it twice aye..thanks

by reading the thread, i think its best you stay with a b series man. there is alot involved in a turbo set up especially if u want a qaulity set up. its not as easy as bolt in and drive.

just see if you can pick up a b16 or b18 conversion kit theres a few floating around.

B16A's are hell cheap these days!!!

Have a chat to d16a7, he's got a turbo hybrid d15 head/d16 block.

yeah hard..b18s sounding nice..i wont have to keep asking NZH people why is my turb.....

[hybrid_H]

its not a question of whether u will have to keep asking, cos peopel will help, aslong as its not stupid stuff.

if u really want a turbo, go for it, but speaking from experience, spend extra cash on decent parts. a turbo conversion will cost u nothin less than 5 grand including tune and ecu.

turbo d-series is alot of fun to drive though!!

i never had any problems with mine, only thing was my manifold cracked twice from being too low and the exhaust scraping. easy way to fix that was to weld up the cracks or get a better manifold.

[thirdson]

yeah i heard turbo d series are nice to drive..most of the people down in philippines turb their d series engines and they say its nice to have more pull on a d..and its nice to hear a blow off on a NA engine

[CoupeTurbo]

yeah after reading through what you have said, i think you should def stick with n/a... haha

[miketurb0honda]

i dont think you should be scaed off turb'n your d , you cn budget build it from 2nd hand parts just dont skimp out on ecu / tuning thats all .

apart from that its pretty simple
turbo mani
turbo
dump pipe
oil feed from sensor
pull sump off weld fitting on
run oil return
water lines use throttle body ones
pcv valve just rip it off just block intake mani hole( i never had a prob)
fit front mount
get piping made
fit bov (vac hose to intake mani)
fit injectors 450cc off vr4 they fit if you squeeze em in or buy new seals.
get walbro pump off trade me
pull tank out slap it in ,
get a cert stock brakes usually pass but mettalic pads and good fluid is all you need
then either get a decent chip tune or Aftermarket ECU wired in and tuned

ive done heaps turbo hondas and ive done the b series swap and....

d turbo would annilate a b series n/a swap b series swap might be bit cheaper but it aint gonna make as much power . .
depends how fast you wanna go


my $5.07
