Ok, I got a 1994 Honda del Sol VTEC (b16)
It has 131k miles

I already got exhaust system and intake. What should be next since i got so many miles--nitrous system, turbo, or head unit?

I need some good ideas.

I don't think I am gonna bother on a full swap, this year at least, but I am planning on 1 big upgrade for 2005. What do you think?

KJJ

whats the plan for your Del. Show or Go?

gordis

GO. i have grown out of my ricer stage, i want a decent amount of h/p. but i need torque-a little bit more-my 111 lbs. just isnt cutting it.

delsoldude

then turbo it. I am not a fan of them, but they get the job done

JoshJ

is turbo good for a motor that has that many miles on it? i know you said you dont really wanna do a full swap, but thats what i would do and eventually turbo it.

delsoldude

you got a B16. Why would you want to swap?

And if you work on the weak points the engine should be fine

gordis

what are those points

delsoldude

Me, I am not sure on those things. I know it could use a block guard. Honda cylinders are free standing in the engine.(they are not connected at the top of the cylinder to anything) so with high HP it creats problems

JoshJ

Well, I believe I read somewhere that it is not good to turbo or add nitrous to a higher mileage engine, please correct me if I am wrong.

What do you want to do with the car? Is it a daily driver, autoX, drag? What are your plans, knowing that would help us give you more accurate suggestions.

do a compression and leakdown test. if the numbers are good turbo that bitch.


or do a rebuild and then turbo it.
