MarineSniper217 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey, I was watching some videos on YouTube about turboed D16s, almost all of them would tap out before shifting. I have a D15B7 motor, how long can that stay maxed out before blowing? I have had it to 7.5K on the road before it started misfiring, when not in a gear, how long can it sty there?. Also, does anyone know where to get a FULL turbo kit for a D15/D16 Civic? I know alot come with the basics, but only one has all the fuel management too. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_big_dl86 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 not long lol.throw boost at it and u will snap ur lil toothpick rods very soon.i wouldnt even take that crap past like 6800-7000.dont know much about dseries but im sure ur not making power that high unless ur built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 You can rev turbo engines a little higher than NA due to less tensile stress on the rods. I wouldn't go over 7,200 though. D15 rods suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 they're on the rev limiter because they suck at driving ;) there are many D's that will make power above 7200 but you need to upgrade your valve springs and some lighter retainers to handle the higher revs. a lil suggestion build the turbo kit yourself. itll be a whole lot cheaper and better! tune with crome, neptune, ectune, or hondata. stay away from fmu's and hacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineSniper217 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well yea, I know the rods are the worst ever, but once I get the turbo im getting Eagle rods to go with it, I have seen a B16a1 in a Teg blow out a 2"x2" hole in the block at 14psi, thats the first extra mod lol. I can go to 300hp off the stock valvetrain, running about 13psi of boost, (looked it up in several Honda specific books related to the D series). But im lookin for a full pre-assembled kit, I dont want to have to run all over getting nuts and bolts and fittings. Im just curious of the rev end, there is no limiter because it cuts out/mis fires, it dosent stop. I have an Explorer the just sits at 6k varying up and down a little. Would that be the end of my RPM range? 7.5k? And the D series is actually good at power, if I had about 6 grand I could take my car up against a Teg that hits 10.5s on the quarter. Its about what and how you modify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Do yourself a favor and use a rev limit. Ignition cut, not fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 are you on d-series.org? if not it seems like you should be there is a ton of info there. im the same user name there as here...all thr forums for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 yeah use ignition cut , lol , thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineSniper217 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yea, im on there too lol. I been looking through a few pages, but im new at that one. Apparently a D16 with Eagle rods and new pistons on 17psi can run 12s?... Thats what the drag time stuff says atleast...if so im swappin up to that!

missingmyRSX Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 so a rev limiter with fuel cut would cut fuel to the engine but what does ignition do? also if your tires were spinning wouldnt it be faster to hit the rev limiter once then let off and do it again before shifting otherwise when you shift the RPMs will go way down cause you are not actually going that fast the tires were just spinning? i may very well be completely wrong i am just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Fuel cut on a boosted engine = hot lean = boom. Ignition cut does that so the engine still has fuel and stays cool. It is fine to bounce it off the limiter while spinning. Traction control is better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostedflake Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 you mean you actually got that motor to spin that fast!!!! thats pretty high considering the limiter on my b7 is 6500 and im running a hondata s300. the tuning shop said I should just leave the limiter at stock until i build the motor so I did.

..SSR.. Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Set limiter at 200 RPM above peak power for street. RPM needed to stay in 4th at the strip, and RPM needed to not have to shift out of given gear mid turn on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
