How much HP on stock d15b2 bottom end?
 

How much hp can I reach safely for a daily driver? I'm doing an mpfi swap with an a6 cam and rebuilding the bottom end because it's closing in on 200k. I'm also going to turbo, and while I'm not even started on this project yet, I get the drift from this site that engine management is key, so that's probably what most of my investment will be in, unless I luck out.

Anyway, is this even worth it? I've heard hat other dseries have stronger bottom ends, like a d16a6?
Are their any other stronger rods or pistons that I can use from other motors or is the d15b2 a bastardchild?
I'm looking for 160-180 hp, something like that.

There is someone on here boosting on a motor with over 200k. Are you replacing the pistons and rods anyways? All D series rods are puny. You should be ok if you plan on under 180hp.
