Turbo Civic First Startup! - Vacuum Block Install - Part 4

In this video, we finally start the turbo D15 vtec Civic for the first time! However it is not without its challenges!
We also unbox, review and install a vacuum block that we bought online, this helps with extra boost/vacuum ports for all the extra things that need a boost reference. (wastegate, boost gauge, MAP sensor)
This is part of the "Budget Show Car" build as I try to build a super neat and clean turbo honda civic EK hatch on a budget.
The engine is a D15Z4 Bottom end and a D16Z6 SOHC VTEC cylinder head, Classic Mini-me vtec build, the internals is all stock.

Gald you find it helpful, thanks for the support 👍

[@nightspirit1085]

Damn man , looks and runs nice . Love the color pattern you have picked and it looks cleaner then most civics ive seen :D .

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi, thanks, yeah I like the colour combo and all the parts come in a similar blue so that also helps, I wanted to get white radiator hoses but was not able to find. Thanks for the support.

[@axLBeats1]

You don't have to install that 1 way on the brake booster, they have them built in internally. but it's correct in theory!

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Bro, thanks good to know, I just did not want to risk it coz I was not sure.

[@mikebroszczak5767]

Excellent video you did a great job i understood everything thank you very much cheers from Canada.

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Mike, thank you, glad it was helpful

[@ashleywildschut1330]

From one honda owner to another Thank you for this content. Love following the progress. You should have a Q&A after the build. Do you have Instagram or Facebook so we can start posting some questions?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Ashley, thanks for the support! good idea will likely do a Q&A after we dyno the car. I do have both instagram and facebook, you can check the "about" section on my channel ro links or search "risingboost" they should come up, look for the red logo.

[@malcolmmay5674]

[@ScrewItGarage]

What’s that producing for hp with the turbo d series? Normally only see the turbos on k and b series

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi, the 1.5 Dseries makes about 160whp at 7psi, and on stock internals they can do about 200 to 220hp before the rods or headstuds fail. Not as strong as the B or K series but still decent and way cheaper 😉

[@kevinhartog5079]

Finally! another video :D

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Kevin, yeah sorry for the delay, taking some time to get the videos edited. but soon I should be able to start putting out content on a regular schedule. thanks for the support!!

[@kevinhartog5079]

@@RisingBoostYT no worries!! Love the videos take your time!

[@king71442]

what is the an size for the end ports ?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Sosa, the ports are 1/2, however, the fitting fits a 10mm hose so they are probably 8mm ID. fits perfectly with the brake booster hose. check the link in the description for more details.

[@nolimit12]

Letss goooo!!

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Bro, thanks for the support and always commenting!!

[@muhtadin1220]

Where is the iacv sir?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi, at the time there was no iacv, I tuned the ecu to hold the idle by retarding timing at 750rpm. not perfect but it did work, I have since added a 3 pin ivac from the D16 Auto.

[@100crook]

I'm doing a d15b7 with y8 bottom.. How Many comp ratio you gave?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Lucas, this will lower your compression as the B7 is low comp head and Y8 has low comp pistons, I estimate about 8.8-1 compression. It will still run fine but less performance NA, good for boost though. Use this website to calculate - www.zealautowerks.com/dseries.html

[@100crook]

@@RisingBoostYT I'm going to do like you, but using d15b7 Block with y8 head

[@RisingBoostYT]

the B7 block, Y8 head combo will give you a higher compression ratio. should give a bump in power, just use high octane fuel on that setup. goodluck with the build!

[@gamex9288]

Hi bro did u delete your evap system?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi bro, my civic is a jdm version and never had the evap system as it did not have to comply with the regulations, but If it did have it I would have deleted it

[@gamex9288]

@@RisingBoostYT i got question so my car obd2 planning to run obd1 ecu p28 soon. If i delete evap cap the intake vacumm can i still pass the inspection ??? I know obd2 and obd1 different when it comes to evap i heard some people delete it and cars run fine without evap on obd1

[@thugsbryan]

What size and brand turbo is that?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi Ricardo, it is a Copy T04E 50AR, too big for the engine, loads of lag. I would recommend a smaller turbo for the setup.

[@jayvee8948]

Can someone please tell me what company makes that turbo manifold or where can I get the same turbo manifold ?

[@RisingBoostYT]

Hi John, the specific on I have is perhaps discontinued, as I have not been seeing it recently on any site. but it use to sell on AliExpress by shops like EPMAN. it use to be very cheap ($25) but shipping was expensive.

[@jayvee8948]

@@RisingBoostYT thank you for replying. I really like how it’s very compact and looks like a very good flowing log manifold. Building by d16 this winter. I’ll look around if I can source that. Great build btw.

[@RisingBoostYT]

Yes, internal design is decent for a cheap cast manifold. goodluck with the build!
