Hey. I'm new to the board. I have been reading the board for about a half a year now, and thought I would go ahead and introduce myself. My names Kris and I am from Colorado. I am a full time musician, and I drive a 93 Honda Del Sol with a B18C1. I am about $1000 away from finally having enough $$$ to buy a T3/T4 full turbo kit from www.maxrev.com Here are some pics of my car. Thanks.

Nice Sol! :thumbup:

Yes, keep it clean. I dunno if the C1 is so great to turbo unless you get LS cams and pistons I hear. You could also get a thicker headgasket to reduce that compression.

What kind of gas milage do you get with the B18C1 in there?

LS cams will not fit in a b18c1. and if you're gonna be tearing apart the engine anyway, spend the extra money and get forged pistons.

Didn't know that. I agree, get the forged pistons.

Thanks for the welcomes.

I get great gas mileage with the B18C1. It is a big difference though as far as the mileage on the D15 that was previously in there. It gets alot less, and runs pretty damn rich. Actually the only thing about the B18C1 is that If I plan on installing an AM exhaust header (which I don't because I am going to boost) it has to be either 99 Teg and up or 92 ls teg. Those two will fit best because they reach farther back all the way to the cat and bolt/weld right up. Also, there's no mods needed to boost the GSR. It's strictly slap the turbo up and go, but for my cars health sake I do plan on upgrading head gaskets, pistons, seals, etc... Thanks for the welcomes everyone! I appreciate it.
