yes i dont have alot of hands on experience, comparing my car to my friends car is what alot of this is based on. If you think my friends d turbo can keep up with my B18b1 hatch 1-3 i would doubt it very much so after driving both cars.

Bruno can you show me a stock D-series turbo that has a similar power band from 1-4 as a B18b1?

I know the car you are comparing yours too...And no that car isnt setup that well, and needs alot of work. Only if my car was on the road to show you what a turbo D can really do.
Turbo D owns B18B all day long.

like i said i know a turbo D will pretty much smoke a stock B18b in 1/4 mile, even 1/8 but i prefer to have power down in the lower rpm. I know the car isnt setup perfect but even if you fixed the little things do you think thats really gonna make up for the lack of low-end torque on the D series.

no need to argue over this, I Prefer the B18b1 over a d series turbo but I know the d turbo is faster in a straight line.

Cee_mon said it all right there. We can argue all day long, but the bottom line is, you're still wrong lol

BTW, I don't know anyone with a 4 cylinder car that doesnt' normally rev to 3000 rpm on a regular basis. And really that's where the fun begins, right there when you punch it and the turbo screams.... it's game over for whoever is trying you

haha, nobody answered his question of what turbo to use..... Get a t25, its a great turbo to use because it spools very quickly for the d series motor

So i guess I can Use a CX motor, i mean it doesnt have VTEC so i'm guessing i wont have as much gains as a D16y8? but if it can still be done, and reliable... then my questions have too been answered. Thanks guys.

t25 or even a small t3.

The only reason why I recomend a small t3 is because if you are piecing together a kit you are more than likely to find a used manifold that is flanged for a t3 and not a t2... that will save you a few hindred bucks.

Does anyone think that putting a turbo on the D15b SOHC VTEC -e engine is worth it? or will produce any decent results?

The engine is a 1.5L but i dunno if there is a way to actually make these things fast without doing TOOO much work..but what i had in mind would be doing a small turbo setup.....but i dunno if it would be worth it...




if it is, could u recommend which turbo I buy???
thanks

John
Well, we had to discuss whether it would be worth it first, cuz that is what the question asked first.
