Hey im new to the forum but not to honda, I used to own a 97 ex which threw a rod and hydro locked, just bought an 94 hatch and im turboing the d15b8 in it, i dont want to be like everyone else and swap to a B-series or k-series, im going with a T25 turbo and maybe run about 8-12 lbs, this is just for fun and i am looking into something worthy of alittle more like an ep3. any help or advice would be great, thanks
d15b8 turbo
- Thread starter JDM 94 EG Hatch
- Start date
my goal is pretty much put the turbo on and use as a fun mess around car, and its my daily driver after i put in turbo i will be buying an EP3 or a AP2
if its your dd..... i wouldnt play around to much. more like 5-7psi of boost. over 8 your looking for something to happen.
well im looking to obviously put in a stage 2 clutch kit and crankshafts, prob adjustable cam, new injectors.... so i thought that maybe the 8-12 region would be safe but with these parts that i want to put in would it be safe, 8 for DD, 12 for race, or am i still looking at 5-7? any parts that i am missing that i definatley need to go with the turbo kit let me know please.
7-8psi its about the most ur gonna wonna push on the stock bottom end unless you have a very good tune. the rods and the rod bolts are pretty weak in the D15. u need some better rods and pistons. low comp obviously
Im actually swapping to a d16z6 now, and rebuilding it to the max this summer after i buy it then piece together a turbo kit, still using a t25 or maybe a t3
welcome to the site, goodluck with the build
