Hey, I finally have my project over... well part of it...
Honda Del sol with the b16z vtec... This winter ill try to fit a turbo in it... Alot of people said its almost the perfect motor... still I would prefer a nice h22a or a Integra RS Base and Sir Head (for the money) Anyways, tell me what you think about it:

Its not finish... and I fix it up by myself and props goes to my father who gave me hes time.

thanks

When the Del Sol came out it had instant respect from me as the replacement for the lovely little CRX, and home to the then-unique VTEC 4-pot. It was also the first production model with the now relatively commonplace and well-trendy folding hard-top roof.
Are you sure you want to turbocharge it?!
Anyway, I like the car; and will look forward to seeing it finished.

hey, nice car! isnt that a d16 not a b16? anyway, good luck with the project, a turbo in the car will be awesome with a big ass intercooler. Oh yeah, NO ALTEZZA TAILLIGHTS PLEASE!! they r sooo dumb.

Agreed on the altezza's, it's too 1998 for anyone to take it seriously. Slam it and give it a tasteful body kit, IMO. Stage 1 turbo, nice port and polish, big ass intercooler, sport cam, valve springs, maybe a chip, 4-2-1 ceramic headers, and a cat back. At least that's what I'd do.

Turbocharghing a vtec motor? It can be done, but it's a pain in the ASS. Sure you wanna mess with it?

I'd prob. drop a B18-B in there and turbo that.

Hey thanks for the responses... Yea sorry I made a mistake its a D16Z.... wish it would be a b series motor but ohh well... anyway for the part having big probs fitting the turbo.... I dont know supposedly its not that hard....
Anyways if you have some info for the turbo setting shoot it i wanna know

Thanks

if you want to go all-motor you should consider an ls/vtec swap. I've had mine for about 3,000 kms and the swap turned my car from a high 15 second quarter mile to a high 13/low 14 second car. If you want to go turbo, i've seen some crazy fast sohc motors that have been boosted, or you could drop a b18a/b for cheap and turbo that. One of the fastest civics in my city (the owner built my motor) is an ls/vtec turbo in a civic coupe. It dynoed at 318 whp and 240 lbs/trq.

Damn 318whp/240lbs.... that the probs with honda motors.. lot of hp but no torque
anyway ive seen a sohc vtec turbo too... and supposedly its one of the easiest thing to put a turbo in it. Still I need the turbo for it... and the vtec dosent improve the Hp on my car
Some friends told me to put a nitrous kit in it instead of busting my head for the turbo :S

So what do I do.. Buy a turbo or buy a Nitrous kit, Sell THAT CAR

thanks

If i had your motor, i would buy the edelbrock full turbo kit. I was gonna buy a civic and buy the edelbrock kit, but i ended up getting a 95 v6 accord.

what you wanna do is turbo it , not much money ? Buy a bolt on turbo kit hers the link it has everything include this kit is designed to run on the stock motor bottom and topend parts http://210.15.220.239/html/honda/info/honda.pdf about $5000 ozzy
Happy turboingps youll get shit loads more tourqe

Supercharging works better on a VTEC.

irseg

If I had a dime for every forum post I've seen by a Honda owner claiming they will be installing a turbocharger and/or Japan-market engine parts in the near future..

Scorps

But a Turbo sounds cool

Redjake

What??

"I have turbo."


"I have a supercharger."






I would rather hangout with the second guy

No I mean the blow off valve and when its charging up.

Well a supercharger does have that whiny sound at all times, but i agree, the sound of a blow off valve and hearing the turbo spool up is awesome.
