d15b7
260k (yes im serious)
boosted for 4k so far on 9psi
garett .42 .48 t3, 200k on turbo works fine
stock clutch sometimes it slips sometimes it grips
gets driven pretty hard
uberdata BASEMAP!
dsm 450cc

no problems aside from clutch slippage issues. i bet i can get 10k more out of this setup easily if i get it tuned. problem is it might be yanked out in the next few weeks.

mine was super charged before I went turbo. The super charger was on for 3 years or so and the turbo has been on for almost a year. So that should put me around 48,000 or so, give or take a little. Been very reliable as a dd.

I'm reposting my setup because i finally got the shit installed right.

ENGINE: JDM D15b vtec-e

MILEAGE: Car: 156xxx, motor: 4k since new (stock) pistons

MILES SINCE BOOSTED: about 500

PSI: 9 PSI

TURBO: AiResearch T3 .42/.48

DRIVING STYLE: since the turbo has been in, ive been tuning it... and it has taking a beating like crazy... let me clarify the beating... while tuning, it endured a constant flooring it then slowing down, flooring it then slowing down... 4th gear has officially been topped out, and the car has been the fastest its ever been in 5th gear (140 mph, then i was too scared to go any faster... vs sti)

MANAGEMENT: Crome pro, plx wideband, ostrich

HP: havent calced yet, but at 11.5:1 afr and 9 psi and 6k rpms, crome said my injectors duty cycle was at 110% (dunno how this is possible) on 390cc injectors

ENGINE MODS: turbo... thats it... (besides replacing pistons and honing walls)

MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT SETUP: within the past hour or two, my vtec has been acting up.

and heres a little racing story i would like to add... on the hwy yesterday, i was driving down to school, cruzing about 110 mph, and a car came flying up behind me, so i slowed down to 80... turns out its an sti, and he pulled up next to me, so i dropped it in 3rd, and we raced till 140, he had about 5 car lengths on me at 140... i was like shiiiiiittt... i dunno, maybe he is an idiot and doesnt know how to drive, but i would have thought he would have had way more on me by then...
btw, z6 engine build is in progress and will hopefully be swapped over spring break... looking forward to 300+ hp

HP: 150 whp
MPG: 33mpg when driven nice for the most part

PSI: 9
TURBO: saab 42/48 t3
DRIVING STYLE: relatively mild
MANAGEMENT: p06 w/uberdata (BASEMAP!)
HP: unknown
ENGINE MODS:stock block, new IM
MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT SETUP: NOT TUNED. NOT TUNED. NOT TUNED. Oil feed line shit the bed, was a major pain to replace I had to remove the IM. Mechanical oil pressure gauge also shit the bed and started dripping oil in the car. Oil pressure was too high at the feed so I used a pressure regulator from Stealthmode I believe to fix that. Turbo still has zero shaft play to my amazement. Need to weld hot side IC piping (ghetto coupler job) and have hole in downpipe welded.

OTHERWISE this car has actually proved remarkably reliable.

I have the Mini Me set up on a d15b7 along with the y8 head gasket arp head "studs" not bolts. Apexi 60 mm complete exhaust. Chipped vtec ecu. The motor is in fair shape, how many pounds of boost can I safely get away with and what kind of numbers would i be looking at as far as hp. I know I will need to step up my injectors. Any other tunning ideas I might require?

ok ill join the club :)

ENGINE: D15B7

MILEAGE: Chassis 275000, engine ??? it was free lol; a friends customer left it at his shop. the stock 275000 engine blew a head gasket even b4 boost

MILES SINCE BOOSTED: uhh about 6 months since i put the mystery engine in

PSI: 7.5 PSI

TURBO: Edelbrock turbo kit #1502 w/GT28R turbo

DRIVING STYLE: Driven it like its a cheep rental car :)

MANAGEMENT: Shitty Link box

HP: The uncalibrated ass dyno says 140 - 150 hp

ENGINE MODS: umm some free mobil 1 synthetic oil 6k miles ago

MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT SETUP: well the auto tranny with 275xxx on it only lasted 4 months boosted. Now its stick the stock replacment clutch is really weak (im used to a CM stage 4 or CM Twin disk in my other cars) and the engine mounts are shot.i have a d15b7 in my EG with 242,000kms on it (i'm the orignal owner and it's been lovingly cared for since day one with good gas, synthetic oil and all preventative maintenance) and i always wondered about the edelbrock kit.

what did you do to make it work on your engine? i'm assumimg the mani bolted right up fine. how bout the fitment of the intercooler and such in the front bumper? everything work ok there?

newbie and noobie here..this is a very informative thread...
but i would like to ask you all how come everybody are using sdifferent turbo??are they similar??anybody on a bigger turbo??

Aza

05-29-2007, 08:50 PM

i think most people just use the turbo they can get there hands on.... being an un turboed engine to begine with we have to piece together the setup ourselves. that would be why everyone ends up with different turbos and different turbo setups. and there are alot of d's using bigger turbos then most (most use t28 - t3)

Engine: d15bvtec
Mileage before boost:0
Mileage after:27k(and thats with cross country trips!
PSI:15
Turbo: Super T3 45 Trim Stage III .48
Engine:bottom end had egle rods, wiseco pistons(CP 8.5:1), polished crank, and new oil pan
Head: mild port and polish, a turbo cam a friend gave to me, im really not sure where its from but damn it was good, brand new valvetrain components from skunk 2.
Management: chipped p28 with chrome, i had it street tunned by a friend first then went to the bronx for the dyno tunning
HP:370 198ft
Major Problems:hooking up, and trying not to bind my axles, i also had some lag in the beginning but that went away after the dyno tunning.

I drove that one into a grave and i dont mean the engine because my little brother has the motor now with the same turbo and he's pumping way more boost i think now he's at about 17 but with 750cc injectors and he's not driving it like i was!

new project is a b20 but i love my d's!
