Question Turbo d15?!?!?!?

OK OK i know it sounds crazy. but im doing a little experiment. Im wondering what i can do with a small turbo and this d15 non-vtec sohc i have. now im thinking if i do some bottom end work, i can make a small turbo with a small amount of boost work. im not looking to create mad amounts of power, (that would be impossible) I just want it to work.

Let me know what you think!

Re: Turbo d15?!?!?!?

There's no reason it wouldn't work, especially if you did some bottom end work. Question is...is it worth it? Probably an awful lot of money for minimal power. If you're just looking for something different then, go for it.

What car is this in, out of curiosity?

Re: Turbo d15?!?!?!?

Well like i posted in the orig thread. not looking to get huge amounts of power. Def looking to be different. you always have to look for ways to be different in the civic world with how many of us there are out there. but to answer your question, this is going in my 92 civic sedan. reason being, i want a small amount of power gain, so i have a noticeable throttle difference. that and who doesn't love the sound of a BOV LOL

Re: Turbo d15?!?!?!?

Its the same thing as people boosting the d16 or d17 and tons of people have done that...Im sure quite a few people have boosted the d15. Go for it.
