d15 hf turbo project. help
me an my buddy just want to experiment a d15 mtr, we were wondering what we would need to run low boost, possible
a safe range for 190k mtr. we know we need to get the d-series manifold, a junkyard turbo, pipings, oil line, intercooler, and we kind of need more feed back on what else we need ,,,i mean it is a low budget project. As long as it works safe, and we can learn more about tuning it, so i can turbocharge all my cars.
which car's turbo? (volvo saab, mitsitbishi, benz,...)
which manifold??
computer for a/f setting ?
controller for boosting,?
and any nessasy part to run a safe turbo set up.. thankx

Re:d15 hf turbo project. help
1st if all mate Please Read FAQ....
Turbo wil probably come from a Saab/Volvo
T3 .43 Trim, a manifold and downpipe.
Bov
Buy a manifold from stealthmode.
oil lines buy them from stealthmode
bigger injectors 450cc DSM
intercooler+charge pipes
SAFC >- control air and fuel
No generic setting for them/ all cars a diffrent

Re:d15 hf turbo project. help
*Wise man say*
If you read FAQ and have to ask the same questions again.
Then you shouldn't be doing anything at all.
*Wise man also say*
instead of turboing the d15 why not buy an A6 or Z head?
Tossing that puny Hf head will get you a lot more power for just a c-note and change......

Re:d15 hf turbo project. help
You can't swap a A6/Z6 head on a HF.... The HF doesn't have valve reliefs for 16Vs, only 8V...
My friend put a JRSC @5.5psi on his HF with 240K miles AND a zex 55shot !!! The car was still kinda slow... The HF tranny is prob. going to do the most damage to the "speed" of the car.
Remember boost is how much air your engine CAN NOT USE and the HF has extremly tiny intake ports, head ports, T/B, and number of valves. 8psi on a D16A6 is prob. 2X the amount of air as 8psi on a HF.
The HF also has terrible exhuast size.
If you can get it to make 1000HP you can go 220mph with that tranny, hehe...
As for cost ??... That's HIGHLY dependent on you "resources" ( IE: who do you know, and how well you know them ).
