d15 turbo?

[hatchboy91]

ok i have a 91 hatch with d15 but i wanted to do somethin different so i am about to turbo it so what kind of turbo should i get? and what kind of power do you think it will make?

Before you boost it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a compression test to make sure the engine's healthy. How many miles are on it? For the turbo, I'd limit yourself to around 200whp for the stock d15, if that. A mid size t3 (.42/.48) will work nicely for that application.

ok cool... well i just rebuilt the motor so im still breakin it in but yeah i wouldnt mine havin 200hp at all but you think i could get more power with stock internals?

[Siege911]

Safely? No. Some people can go up to 220whp, but I've only heard of that on d16s, and I'm not too familiar with the d15. Although, if you have a good tune and your engine is freshly rebuilt I don't see why you couldn't hit 220. I wouldn't push it past there though.

ok cool sounds good yeah even 200 would be sweet cause that would be fast in my ef but thanx alot man later...
