L15A7 on boost

Hi there, are there any threads where I can find L15A7 engines turbocharged the proper way? Meaning built properly? I'm trying to find a decent foundation. From what I gather is that these engines don't do too well in a High Compression daily setup (what I mean is that they don't make good power) so to turbocharge is a decent option. Please help.

Good luck, the compression for these engines is too high and the internals aren't strong enough to put boost on and expect them to last. Throw your money away however you want.

​​​​​​Clearly you haven't read when I said proper built. Move along now.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check the page out.

EDIT: Looks like the L15B7 engine? Sweet build, but I'm looking for builds on the A7.

What do you even mean by a "proper built?" From Honda? From some other company? Or just some supposedly really well researched DIY setup?

One of the more recent threads in the subsection, is the Sprintex Supercharger install.

There's also a sticky thread there about turbo.

Have you considered nitrous oxide?
​​​​​​Zex makes a safe kit for Honda. I've had one on my Prelude for over 15 years now...never a problem with it. It's a lot of fun.
