Agree. Im building up my d16z6 just to race all these guys around here that think their swap is so badass.
Lets see how much $$$ I got into my buildup....
bored .020 over w/pistons (9:1 forged) = $550
Eagle Rods = $309
Performance Valves = $100
DC Sports Cam gear = $36
MSD Ignition (6al)= $50
Fadanza 7lbs Flywheel = $150
3pc Underdrive Pulley Kit = $50
TurboXS Turbo Kit = $575
XoXo Intercooler (FMIC) = $170 (Technically free, but long story)
NX Ntercooler Spray kit = $178
Uberdata = $0
ECU Chip kit = $20
Eprom Burner = $36
DSM 450cc Injectors = $20
Now granted that is a little over $2k but I would take a turbo fully built SOHC over a stock DOHC anyday. Plus I love the bragging rights of beating people with a SOHC...(like the acura with a built LS before I put on my turbo). Remember, the del sol is kinda light compared even to a hatch. so with some weight reduction for the track I should get some really nice times. (i'll race w/o a hood, passenger seat, and roof. (yea battery is in back and i got a helmet covered)(And yeah, im talking about @ the TRACK)
