does anybody make a turbo kit for a d15b7, i was just wondering what people have done with this motor. i have a d15b7 with 142k on it seems to be doing fine but im tired of it being stock im ready to get that shit rolling.

the 92-95(z6) kit is a bolt on. i probably wouldnt boost your engine though. d15b7's are the weakest honda ever made bascially and with 142k i wouldnt risk it. maybe swap in a z6 then turbo. the swap would only cost a few hundred if you can get the right prices and do it yourself.

no one will make one for that car....your best bet if you want to keep it is to have someone custom make a turbo kit for your car...its likee 5-6 thousand but worth it in the long run...just go to a shop that does that around where u live...and ask what u need

just save and do a swap

or get a hx manifold get a turbo flange t/3 and get a old volvo turbo. a jonny racecar intercooler and use a internal wastegate and make some pipiing and there you go that can all be done for under a grand but ur gonna need something to control fuel and done expect to much out of that and an apexi fuel comp or id got with hondata

yes somebody does make a turbo for the d15b7. Edelbrock has a turbo kit called the Performer X for the d15b7 engine. it is also emissions legal. I have this on my car and i have the boost set to 8 psi. It has never hurt my engine ever. It also comes with a tuner box that will set up a turbo for a stock engine. Here is the link.

Wow...apparently information on Forced Induction takes a long time to trickle its way back to AF. If you actually want to turbo your D, check out the Forced Induction Forum on Honda-tech. This sub-forum used to be full of info, but has since died off...hell, this is my first time back in over a year IIRC
