D15 Turbo
 

I own a 92 Civic Hatch with the stock D15 in it.

I plan to turbo this till I get deployed to Iraq and have an H22 Swapped into it.

A buddy of mine gave me a deal on his t3/t4 turbo kit I can't refuse.

So I thinking of turbocharging the D15 till I leave in Oct., the car has 160,000 on it, but just recently had a lot of work done. Bunch of brand new seals, water pump, refinished head, head gasket, ect...

With the kit plus, Blox Bypass Valve, FMU, walbro 255 intake pump, all necessary gauges to monitor car, a proper install, and in a couple weeks a MegaSquirt ECU, do you think I could safely daily drive this car on 4-6psi?

Sorry if these seems newbish, I am not new to turboes, just this engine.

Why megasquirt? Chip the ecu you already have, it will be a lot less work. Megasquirt is a barebones system that you have to configure - no offense but it will be way above your head. A weaksauce 6psi will be fine with an FMU

I was thinkin about that awsell. But idk what chips to trust?

I was thinkin of holding off on the ecu and getting a hondata s300 when I do the H22 swap?

But any links to acual useful, and fit to a mid budget, ecu chips would be helpful. ThxZ =]

There`s a lot more to this than you realize. To do this properly you`re going to have to buy a chip burner, chip kit, get engine management software, a wideband, access to a welder.
Hondata is crap (just my opinion). You can chip the ecu you already have and it will run either engine, when the time comes.

Try looking on PGMFI.org ------------- ectune.com

The money you save by not buy hondata crap will help out in the long run.

What ever happend to the 10 Second D15 thread?

It`s gone, like lots of things.

and guys what about injektorima?
whether stock injektori be sufficient and stock fuel pump?

I only boosting 5-6psi.
I was hoping stock injectors would be kool, but I was gonna find out, and up if they weren't. I'll look into these chips, and another ? I have is, 12:1 FMU.. to much for this project?

Xenocron Tuning: Basemap Chip - Xenocron Custom #[Basemap-Chip]

Thinking of buying this chip to get me to the tuner.

Xenocron Tuning: Chipped OBD1 Non-VTEC ECU. #[Non-V-Ecu]

And this chipped ecu to have it tuned when I get there?

Will I still need to get an FMU? I also think I would still need the MAP Bypass valve.. correct?

bump

I have never had any luck with the 12:1. 8:1 is what I always use.. I always end up running rich with 12:1 for some reason....

For some reason?
It's bc thats 12 psi of gas to 1psi of boost... thats a lot!
On 8 pounds that would be 96 plus ur stock psi...

why use FMU if you are saying run with ECU chipped?

No, I was gonna run FMU, but am contemplating on using a chipped ECU for more reliability.

just run the fmu .. and while ur doin that find ur self another ecu and get that chipped .... 12:1 shud also be fine my buddy used to run an fmu for like a year then he decided to pop the motor at 14 psi (stock d16z6)

with a chipped ecu you no longer need a map bypass nor an fmu you will need larger injectors though. either chip the ecu yourself or buy a chipped one already install everything get it running on a base map(no boost) then drive directly to a dyno facility that knows the program Crome well. you might even be able to run 8psi and your car will run like a factory forced inducted car after it gets off the dyno
