No, it's not. That's a known good combo for 95-100 whp, maybe, if your B2 bottom end isn't blowby central. There's no way you're getting 125 whp off a stock cam when high CR D16 struggle to break 150 with Crower 3 cam revving to 8500.

Mentioning rod/stroke ratio as if it means anything with a Honda is the #1 sign you have no idea what you are talking about.

But off a tiny *** turbo, that's all you are going to get. I tuned a Vitara/Z6 last week with a 2G DSM T25, made 210 wtq (at 3700 rpms) and 195 whp.





You mean well, but you haven't the first clue about the practical aspects of DIY turbocharging and you definitely are in a fantasyland of bullshit tech-that-isn't-tech from reading forums. Trust me, you can not build a $400 turbo setup your first time out without an experienced person holding your hand through it. Your best bet is to spend a grand and make things easy the first time through, or spend $400 now and have $1200 in it after you swap out bunk used turbos three times and upgrade shitty silicone couplers, etc, over a period of six months before you get a semi-reliable 170-180 whp B2. You pay your money, or you pay your dues, and sometimes even experienced guys like me get fucked on the deal and wind up paying money AND paying more dues. You can go into this on a budget and do a good job, but if your budget is $400 with your current experience then you better not get all butt hurt by the results - you better man up and make the car run correctly.

idk

you ever see, Mr. Bone's d15b7....

I followed alot of his advice, right down to the AEM y8 adj. cam gear on the si cam to compensate for the 1/2 tooth error.... the car is fast, def putting out more than yr said guess of 95-100whp....

you are talking ---- to the wrong people. Listen to the advice that is being given instead of having that Honda-Tech bullshit attitude that you have. On another note, you are a newb and I haven't seen any **** from you yet.

You come here stating you don't know much about what you're doing.

People provide factual information and tips to you.

You tell them they don't know what they're talking about.

JD gives you more in-depth info.

You say he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Do you want help or do you know everything and don't need help?

You AREN'T going to build a turbo setup for $400 that's remotely reliable.

Your D15B7 is NOT putting out 125whp. My D16A6 IS a mpfi SI engine, not a d15b7 with SI parts added. Guess what? It was rated 106hp at the crank brand new. So, it's probably 90-something at the wheels, and way less than that now that it has 242k+ miles on it. Sorry, I'll believe a chic sucked a unicorn's **** before I believe your combination of oem parts is putting out 120-125whp.

Take the information and learn from it, or go back to honda-tech and live in your tuner-world.

BTW, AEM cai on a d-series (or any other, for that matter) is a waste of money. Money would have been much better spent on turbo parts...

'idk' is 100% correct. You don't know.

I've known Charles Teague longer than you've been aware of one of his screen names. He's crashed at my house before, with his Civic. I spent more time on a dyno last week than you will ever spend in your life, and I have a good idea what a stock bore D-series is capable of. If you doubt me and want to throw Bone in my face, feel free to link him to this thread and see who he agrees with.

I want to do a turbo setup cheap all you do is shoot me down, I'm asking for 6psi t3 turbo and its just ridiculous. I mention bone because 120whp (depending on what dyno) is realistic. You say I'm disagreeing, I just figured you would be able to give more insight then has been displaced...
