Its perfectly safe to turbo any engine, just make sure youve got a great fuel and fuel management system, getting hooked up with a good tune is 110% key to making youre turbocharged car RELIABLE.

I disagree. Theres a guy locally running a boosted d15b that pulls just as strong as my boosted y8. Granted he's running a bigger turbo and a more aggressive tune.

It all depends on the version of the D15B, (i am pulling this part out of my ***, if it is wrong someone please correct me)the D15B8 has 72 bhp, the D15B2(vx motor) has 92hp, the D15B7 has 102hp. but with boost on any of them you can still make a decent amount of power

VX motor is D15Z1, it shares the same bottom end as the JDM D15B. But the fact that good power can be made from any of them is true. Just change to a Z6 head.

The JDM version already has a Z6 head, and a stouter bottom end than the USDM variants (except the Z1).
