Anyone have any thoughts on running boost on stock internals? Good and bad welcome. Just want some good debates and views on it cos i am planning on running on stock internals on my d15b (JDM). Also im not planning on running high boost also, just around 5-7psi. I am also just doing it to feel the sohc turbo feeling as i am going b series soon.

Also im just wondering if anyone is running a td04 turbo? How is it and is it any good on the d?

that is a small turbo and it will spool up very quickly.

If you already have the turbo & parts and some time, sure might as well throw it on :thumb:

i think you would be completely fine, just make sure you get a good dyno tune because that's more important that anything...

you'll have fun with a quick spooling turbo and ~5-7psi you won't be harming your engine too much, the stock internals are good to ~220whp and especially if they are just hangin around, go for it :thumb:

Thanks guys.. Yeah i chose to get a td04 because it spools quickly and it ends when vtec kicks in. Thanks for your thoughts. Will be getting the parts soon.

a td04 should still be making boost after you hit vtec.
should max the effiency around 6800, but still boosting at redline 7200.

Oh thanks for that..

One question I got is how do I do the oil lines? Can I just use an adaptor on the oil filter and get some braided line?

And is there Anything I need to know before doing this? Like parts and tips?

Also if there's any good diy links you guys can let me know about that can help me

Look in the Boost section, I just wrote a DIY the other day about boosting a SOHC. I also prefer the oil sandwich plate adapter instead of tapping into the block where the stock oil pressure sensor goes with a T splitter. :thumb:
