Hey guys,
I have searched the better part of a day and a half to find a recent d15b7 turbo build i can reference from. I have just a few questions maybe you guys can clear up or shoot me some links you may have seen just recently and i will do the research.
#1: What is the stock block good to in hp #'s?
Im not looking much past 250hp, but would like to have a know threshold. This is a side build to drop in my Del Sol so i can drive the car while my GSR is being built for boost.
#2: I saw multiple post on here saying the stock rods are weak... i know this but I found a set of CX Racing forged h-beam rods for $250. Has anyone dealt with these? Or is there a current manufacturer that I overlooked?
#3 Keeping the same head hust going to go through it and freshen it up and do a little port work but what cam do i use? I have heard great things from delta 272-2 regrinds but I doubt that is my only option, right?
#4: Is it neccesary to port my oil pump for a little hp build like this?
#5: Not running A/C so I am going to run a log style manifold and wrap it in header wrap. Recommended brands? Trying to stay away from ebay stuff...
Im not trying to cheap out because as soon as the GSR is done this is coming out and being put into another shell.
Thats basically it for now. I dont expect to be spoon fed but maybe pointed toward some links that are less than a year old that you may have seen.
Current setup, just in case there are technical questions.
94 Honda Del Sol S
Captiva Blue Pearl (being resprayed in a week)
Stock D15b7
Engine is completely torn down and all looks great for a 87,000 mile motor.
I will be re-assembling the motor with in a week with all new gaskets etc
Using a GT2871r to power it with 550cc injectors and all supporting mods.
Thanks guys,
Austin Webb
