- Taking my Turbo D15 SOHC Honda Civic to German vs Japan Dyno Day at ATR Performance.
Stock 1.5 single-cam making about 7psi of boost, how much power can it make? We also look at some of the other Honda builds making some power.
The aim of the Honda Civic EK Hatch Build is to make as much power as possible for as cheap as possible.
also included is some cinematics of other cars and dyno runs.
The Honda D14, D15, D16 and D17 SOHC (single-cam) motors all can make very similar power numbers running a similar setup, and according to various sources, most Honda D-series motors can handle up to 200whp - 220whp in stock form (up to 160wkw)
this includes the D14A, D14Z, D15A, D15B VTEC, D15Z1, D15Y3, D15Y4, D15Z3, D15Z4, D15Z6, D15Z7, D15Z8, D16A, D16B, D16V, D16W, D16Y, D16Y7, D16Y8, D16Y9, D16Z6, SOHC ZC VTEC D17A and D17Z.

Nice setup...gooi weg daai cast manifold... lol..D15 made 128wkw on .6 bar, then added D16Z6 ported head, vtec driver and Gude cam, made 157wkw at .7, built a "stoom pyp" header, made 169wkw on .6 bar. T3T4 eBay turbo , rev limit was at 7400, raised it to 8600 and snapped the crank at cylinder 3, built a D16 VTEC and made 179wkw on .7... 12,72 1/4 at Tarlton...this was in 2000/2001..
Hi Hondatrix, thanks for the info! getting numbers from local experiences is rare. I was looking to get a ramhorn manifold, however from china or locally manufactured, they end up costing around R3500 and I am doing a B18V build next so the D15 is a tight budget build. however I do have a D15 with Z6 vtec head and polished exhaust runners going back into the car now, will up the boost and aim for 155kw to 160kw. the stock D15 won't handle much more than that anyway. were you running stock internals in the motors? not sure how the aftermarket scene was back in 2001 when these cars were still almost new.
Wow 😳 would love to see the tuning process this is an amazing build
Hi. Thanks for the support. I will have the car returned soon and definitely make a video on it.
@@RisingBoostYT can't wait to see the result bravo!
You have 7 years with a stock boosted engine thats amazing.
Hi Moises, thanks for watching! I must clarify that the car did not run for about 5 years, so technically only 2-3 years running with the setup.
7:21 I want mine to perfrom like this, I also like the sound of his exhaust
Built motor B16 Vtec, over 350hp. very fun and still running today so very reliable. I actually bought his cooler and boost pipes for my next build.
I like the channel brother!!! Your ek is super clean! Keep up the good work 👌
Hi Bro, thanks for the support! trying to make it even better very soon. I see you also have a channel, will give a sub and go watch some content, it look great!
@@RisingBoostYT thank you i did the same 👌
New subscriber, loving the content👌 the neatest EK we've seen. Keep up the great work.
Hi, thanks for the support!!
Great stuff man, I'm also in the process of turbocharging my Civic also a stock D15. Love the vids so far keep them coming
Hi, Thanks for the support! Good luck with the build, boosted this is a very fun car! feel free to shoot me a DM on instagram if you need some advice on the build.
@@RisingBoostYT will do thank you very much, would love to meet up some time at an event or so when the build is complete.
For sure!
Im boutta boost my 91 si hows yours going?
Amazing build, has really good power!
Hi Bro, thanks for watching! yes decent power for a 1.5 on low boost, but it needs more. not happy with the 118wkw (160ish whp) I will be turning it up soon.
@@RisingBoostYT can’t wait to check that out! Does the engine need to be beefed up before turning up the boost?
@@Red5oh for my power goals, no. The engine currently in the car according to various sources like forms, CZcams and local tuners, can safely handle 200 to 220whp, after that, you risk lifting the head or bending a rod. I am currently on about 160whp with just the turbo kit, 440cc injectors, 255L fuel pump and a custom 4 puck button clutch made from a stock clutch. so I will aim for around 210whp when I turn it up.
@@RisingBoostYT yeah that’s good then. You can stay conservative yo avoid having to build the engine in the future
Nice video bro... Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻😁🤗
Thanks ✌️, glad you enjoyed it!
Very very clean cars
Hi Bro, Thanks for watching! yeah most of the cars that showed up to this event was surprisingly clean.
That cold side is huuge compared to the hot side lmao... A bigger hot side would really help it pull all the way to redline compared to falling on its face at 5500
Hi, yes this is a knockoff turbo and I think they use the same housing for all the sizes of turbo, its a 50ar but the housing can hold a 70ar easy, the turbo is actually way to big for the 1.5 motor, the dropping off at the end was tune/sensor related. I think the turbo can make a lot more power but with alot of lag.
great figures !!
Yes, not to bad for just a stock D15 at 0.5 bar
@@RisingBoostYT it has so much potential
You’re losing vacuum in your engine get a Catch can and you might need a better air filter for your turbo it sounds like it’s struggling for air. Check the CMF rating on your air filter
Hi Jason, very possible, the car had no breather setup connected, both stock breathers was just open to atmosphere, also I found out afterwards there was a boost leak on the throttle body. the filter was a very old HKS copy, definitely fitting a new air filter and breather setup one on the new build.
Hello , i have a d15b2 with d16z6 head, maybe too much compresión for a turbo build? My car have a stock d14, what would you do swap only the head or the engine?
Hi bro, don't know to much about the D14's. I have the same problem with my build, I'm not sure what the compression is, but it will be pretty high, 9.2 or 9.8, there is a very good compression calculator tool online for Dseries, I would say check it out, if it's not I would recommend the D15
@@RisingBoostYT maybe playing with gasket will loose some compresion
Definitely, for us if I use a gasket from a local D16A it's thicker, I have also seen someone locally that made a 1mm gasket from copper that he uses with a stock gasket, but I can not confirm if that held up or not. If you have access to E85 or race feul the compression should not be a problem.
@@RisingBoostYT yes e85 its the way, here in Spain are two k series running e85 turbo stock motor 500hp
hello you have to make a cartography or you did the assembly and you ride like her
Hi Bro, Thank for the support, the first and second videos on my channel is about getting the car fixed up as it was sitting for 5 year before I purchased it. I did not do the turbo kit install myself, it was already boosted. however I am currently building a new engine for the civic and the videos will be coming out soon.
Hola, creo que tienes anulada la EGR, como haces para anularla electronicamente y que no salga fallo motor? un saludo
Hi there, my car did not come with EGR from factory, so there is no light for EGR in my case, the P08 vtec Head does have EGR, but the line goes to the intake manifold where it is blocked off. perhaps you can block yours but keep the electronic system in place?
@@RisingBoostYT That was what they had thought at first.
but I want to keep everything as simple as possible and definitively remove the egr.
Keep investigating.
Thank you
@@LoseJuis perhaps just remove the electronic valve part and place a block off plate under the gasket, that way everything stays in place but EGR is blocked. not sure if the system will give a light for that.
what ecu do you have? i want to turbo my d15z6 but i know its harder because of the ecotec
Hi, I am using a locally manufactured ECU called "Dictator STD". Very cheap, about $140 and on the older honda engines, it is a full standalone ECU. very basic but can do everything I need. (South Africa)
@@RisingBoostYT and is it save to turbo d15z6 ecotec? i know its runing on 12valves on lower rpm and on 16 valves on higher rpm so that makes me little bit scared about my valves :D
@@kulatakrychle5493 I would not recommend it as the vtec-e heads have very small and thin valve springs. I would be very nervous to rev the vtec-e high. I would recommend getting normal non-vtec valve springs and swoping them over if possible. also locking the valves in 16 valve mode. but it would be better to get a non-vtec head or a PO8 vtec head. I am also not very knowledgeable on the D15Z6 bottom-end strength, however most Dseries bottom ends can hold similar power, some only have better oiling systems and can rev higher, however the rods and head studs are the weakest points. I think it is possible if you make a few changes. PO7 heads also have very small intake runners that will not help performance.
@@RisingBoostYT ok thank you very much
Nice work!! Ecu??
Hi Stavros, its running on a Dictator stand alone ECU, locally manufactured (South Africa). very basic, but can handle the D/B-series nicely. also very cheap, about $150.
@@RisingBoostYT I have d16z6 Hbeam rods nippons pistons arp Screws skunk2 intake 550cc Garrett 2871 .
What's the Difference between D15 and D16 motors
Hi, the difference is the crank, connecting rods and block. Other things are the same. The stroke of the crank is shorter, connecting rod is 134mm instead of the d16 137mm. And the block deck hight is lower than the d16. Newer d15 motors also have a smaller big end journal. But D15 and D16 can handle about the same power stock.
@@RisingBoostYT Thank you, so pretty much they even out
yeah, in terms of power boosted output in stock form, they about the same. rods and head studs fail first. but if you are looking to build a forged motor, the D16 is better as it has more parts available. D15 aftermarket rods are not so easy to find.
What turbo kit are you running??
Hi kieron, turbo, cast manifold and intercoole are eBay parts. Charge pipes are custom made.
What tune are running?
Hi Kevin, I have a Dictator STD, it's a locally manufactured budget ECU that can run as a standalone in older cars. cost about $180 new and is very well supported here in South Africa. very basic but can do everything I need it to do.
What turbo did you use?
Hi Karlin, its a ebay copy of a T04E 50AR turbo, to big for the 1.5L setup. I would recommend a smaller turbo, T28 perhaps.
Does It have an intercooler?
Hi Bro, yes it does have an intercooler, it's not big, about the size of the gap in the bumper. however works great for the power its making currently. my first video has a section with the bumper off where it is visible. or you can check my instagram.
@@RisingBoostYT how much hp?
@@RisingBoostYT and what size turbo?
@@michaellopez1196 Most likely a T3 50/63.ar My 1.5 is on 15psi with a 63.ar All stock but still Lags abit gonna grab a 43.ar smaller T3
Bro where can I get the D15 turbo kits around South Africa
Hi Unarine, sadly I do not know about any sellers selling kits for the D15 locally. you can get most of the parts from places like MrTurbo. they sell the intercooler, charge pipes, turbos, blow off valves and wastegates. but I have not seen the turbo manifold. there is a place on the west rand, GangR Performance, they do sometimes have the turbo manifold and the other things you need, like a dictator and injectors.
Thanks buddy
U probably not going to see this, but I noticed you mentioned buying parts from ebay... What is your experience buying on eBay? I'm abit weary of buying on eBay
Hi David, it depends on where you from, I'm from South Africa so the only big drawback is basically the cost of shipping and sometimes there may be a tax or duty. But other than that if you are happy with the cost I have never had an issue with buying from eBay, just make sure you know what you buying so you don't get a surprise when it arrives, watch a few reviews first. I am currently looking to buy a AEM wideband and ebay is the best option, cheaper than local suppliers.
@@RisingBoostYT I'm also from SA hence being sceptical buying on eBay... See the thing is if it's parts that isn't easy to obtain in SA then I don't mind paying
I check if the item has a quoted price to ship to South Africa and does not say "contact seller" for shipping cost.
Also they now have a "Ebay International Shipping Program" that helps with the cost.
So basically make sure the product listing does ship to SA and its best if the product ships from the USA.
I have never had an issue buying and receiving items from Ebay.
