d15 turbo owners/QUESTIONS
ok ive read around here on boosting a stock d15,but how much boost can i safely run on a high milaged b7?i was thinking like 8psi.also i suppose i should just use some dsm 370cc instead of the stock ones or would they work?im looking to spend THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY as possible on this setup cuz after it shits im swapping the gsr in it.i currently have a mbc, garret gt17 turbo,so its very small( .42/.48 or vise versa) and a dsm smic.i plan to use uberdata if anything...do i HAVE to use any fuel management on this ---- project?if so what are my limitations?what size ic piping should i run as well as a dp?

Mileage has little to do with engine condition. do a compression check. the rule of thumb is if the 4 numbers are within 10 of eachother, your good. if not, boost it anyway i was thinking like 8psi.also i suppose i should just use some dsm 370cc instead of the stock ones or would they work? i plan to use uberdata if anything...do i HAVE to use any fuel management on this ---- project?if so what are my limitations? use a fmu or uber, make a choice, then ask about injectors. im looking to spend THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY as possible on this setup cuz after it shits im swapping the gsr in it. priorities bro, i would put the gsr in now. remember, when you cheap out on a kit, it will cheap out on you. i currently have a mbc, garret gt17 turbo,so its very small( .42/.48 or vise versa) and a dsm smic.what size ic piping should i run as well as a dp? most of us here like to use 2-2.5 for ic piping and 3 for dp |
Re: d15 turbo owners/QUESTIONS
ok thanks,now given that the compression check results in good news,how much boost can it safely handle on stock internal(i know tuning has alot to do with this but im looking for a roundabout answer).
i know im cheaping out on this kit,but its bc this is my first attempt at boosting and figure this is a good motor to use,as well as not being concerned about blowing it up bc i have another car and whatnot... as for the fmu or uber,i will pry go with uber since itll be cheaper to go that route i would think.but i will look into fmu's as well,should i get 10:1 or 12:1? any other opinions? |
Re: d15 turbo owners/QUESTIONS
this was my setup....
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...6685#msg496685 it handled 10psi like a dream, beat the living crap out of that thing everyday! |

Re: d15 turbo owners/QUESTIONS
you should have an ecu that can be chipped. u could then use it for the gsr motor also.
dont waste your money on fmu and missing link. try to use parts that can be used with the gsr motor. turbo, injectors, i/c, piping and dp. minor mods might be needed but it'll be cheaper. go hf manifold for now and buy a good turbo mani later with the b18. |
Re: d15 turbo owners/QUESTIONS
alright....do you think this b7 can handle 10psi on this small turbo or not?if i use uber...or would i be safer with 8psi?
