guys..... It was a mistake. He said my bad and apologized.

Let's chill

As for parts. Man with a delSol VTEC, the sky is the limit. The only thing that will limit you is how much you want to spend. You should take a look at the thread that is stickied. There are a lot of nice Sols in that thread. Look at what they have done and use them for some ideas

 

yea i planned on reading evey thread( might take awhile lol) to give me more ideas and knowlegde of the car and its performance..

 

As stated before: My advice to you would be to: 1. find a Del Sol VTEC (that would be the one with the DOHC VTEC motor in it, and run 10-15 lbs of boost through it. It will easily out run a prelude, and look better doing it.

For turbo kits, look into GReddy, RevHard, DRAG, and FMax.

Next, and I mean IMMEDIATELY after, if not before, you will need to upgrade your fuel pump. My personal favorite is the Walbro 255 LPH. This will help in making sure you don't lean out your motor, and blow the whole thing up.

Then to help horsepower, and turbo spool time, go with a good exhaust. I would check out GReddy, Thermal, or run a custom 3 inch exhaust all the way back with any straight-thru muffler on it. The less convoluted you make the exhaust, the better, especially with turbo.

Now, depending on how much boost you want to run, you may need to start building your motor to take the added abuse.
For that, you will want to get stronger rods (built for turbo). There are several makers of these, such as Eagle, JUN, JG Edlebrock, and flatlander racing.

Then, to avoid detonation (the premature ignition of air/fuel in the combustion chamber due to excess heat or pressure), you may need to put some lower compression pistons in. Makers of these include: AEM, Flatlander Racing, and many others.

You may also want to buy a thicker, stronger head gasket, to keep from blowing the stock one. These are pretty cheap, and can be found all over the place. MR Gasket makes copper ones, that are guaranteed not to blow.

Next, we will move on to ignition. To ensure that you proper combustion, you will want to upgrade the stock honda ignition system. The company that I, and so many others recomend is MSD. thier SCI series ignitions are wonderful. WIth turbo, you will also want to find the "coldest" spark plugs that you can. cooler plugs will also help avoid detonation.

This should get you started... there are 102 million things that you can do to hondas, and above is only the tip of the ice burg. Injectors, a fuel pressure regulator, drop springs, better shocks, sway bars, an oil cooler, valve springs, cams etc... will all help make your car run better,faster, or more solid.

Also remember to install as many gauges as you can find... Air/Fuel, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost, and EGT (exhaust gas temp., also known as a pyrometer) as these will not only help in tuning your car, and getting the most out of your mods, but also let you know if anything is going wrong inside your engine.

Hope this helps, and good luck. If you do these, and do them correctly, you should easily have a Del Sol that will easily and safely run 12-13 second quarter mile passes.

 

very informative post!

I would just like to add: 10-15lbs would be nice but DONT boost that on a stock motor!!!! lol

Id just hate to see someone read your post and blow up their motor tomorrow haha

4-7lbs is all *I* would boost on stock internals just for the sake of future reliability

 

Most honda motors (in good shape) will take 10 lbs of boost with the appropriate fuel upgrades. To do 15, some upgrades will usually be required. I have even heard that the b16a2 can take 10 lbs with a stock fuel pump, although I have never tried this to confirm.
I am currently running 9 lbs through an internally stock D16Z6 with no problems at all.. plenty of fuel/ignition upgrades though.

A friend/owner of a local shop that I frequent is running 14 lbs through a stock B18B with a fuel pump, and injectors.

Thanks though... it is VERY important to make sure that whatever motor you run boost through is capable of handling the added pressure and everything. Also remember, Hondas were not designed for turbo, and the internals of the motor are not built with the intent of being used with turbo. For anything extreme, or even not so extreme over a long period of time, low-end strengthening will be required.

 

okay guys whats the b16a motor is that the dohc vtec? lol im not on the uptake with all these letters and numbers so plz explain. if i got on ebay what would the years be to search like 92-95 or what?

 

how do you boost it?

 

Depending on how strong a level of boost your gonna want is how many people your gonna want outside pushign it. So take 7 psi and your are gonan need 7 people behind pushing. It's simple mathematics.

 

what do you guys think of cosmo racing products???

 

boost = turbo or supercharger.... in this case, turbo.
If you have the funds to go with a turbo setup now, then do it.. if you start building your naturally aspriated car (no turbo/supercharger) up, and decide to do turbo later,you will eventually need to replace, and probably loose money on most of the bolt-ons that you will add to the car... things like intake, headers, and probably most of your exhaust.

Go with a turbo on a DOHC motor... it is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to make your honda really quick.
