so this is the new platform. my girl and i picked this up a few months back and she has decided to allow me to convert it to a 5 speed and boost it smoochie boochie, bitchez smoochie boochie, bitchez.

its a 94 del sol s it has 145k on it and was owned by one lady its whole existence and she took very good care of it. has very minor rust and thats not for long.

the setup:

95ex/si trans ( the bigger bearing one, B000? )
b7 bottom end
b7 head
z6 intake mani
cast mani t3 flange
6262 knock off / also got a gt17
rc 550cc injectors
comp clutch stage 4 kit ( sprung )
innovate lc-1 wideband with gauge
vac/boost gauge
oil pressure gauge
chipped and converted p06 ecu gonna be tuned on crome
2.5" intercooler piping
hks ssqv knock off

things still needed:

4 bar map ( gonna hit up HIPROFILE for that )
arp head studs
a larger intercooler
smaller turbo looking for small-medium sized t3 with decent spool and pull to redline

should start work soon and i plan on doing the 5spd swap and turbo install on a weekend, just need a couple last parts.

thanks bro, its by far the cleanest honda my girl and i have owned.

i'll be putting the rims on soon, doing the 5 spd swap and boosting it. can't wait!! just incase anyone is wondering why its called project widow that should be come clear once the paint theme is done

Ive always had a thing for del sol's. My uncle bought one in 1994. He bought the vtec model because it had more horsepower. He had to wait 2 months, because when he bought it the factory hadn't even made one with a dohc vtec yet. Needless to say he was the only one in town with a stock dohc delsol. Was a lot of fun.

EG-MIKE · « **Reply #4 on:** May 09, 2013, 07:56:55 PM »

nice. the vtec model was a well put together car for stock. i still love my D series tho, its just the awe factor i guess. when ppl see your car run down the track and they think its got a typical swap with a turbo, then you tell them your running a D15 or D16 and they dont believe it till you show them. i love that feeling

my girls gonna end up putting a H or K in this when we come across one for the right price. till then i get to do what i please.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #5 on:** May 09, 2013, 10:18:03 PM »

I would go k or f series.... F for the budget, k for the ballerness

EG-MIKE · « **Reply #6 on:** May 09, 2013, 10:31:36 PM »

when we put a swap in it for her i was thinking of the F/H build. the f22 bottom end and h22 top end possibly throw a SC on her and call it a day. my girl will be more then happy with like 300ish whp

once we start working on the sol ill post some pics of the fiance up.

also JD you should come up to maine and tune my car haha. i'd come down there but i think atmospheric pressures would be too different for a really effective tune up here.

highroller54 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2013, 03:56:39 PM »

thats all going to depend on the quality of your pics and your willingness to share, or at least go out of the house for a 1/2 hour.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2013, 08:32:44 AM »

1/2 an hour? Is he going to talk to her for 29min first? He just needs to run out to the shed

EG-MIKE · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2013, 10:47:15 PM »

Small update:

Prepped and painted the rims off my hatch build also painted the emblems too match. Will post pics up later, been a long day

I just don't comprehend painting oem wheels weird colors.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #22 on:** June 13, 2013, 06:48:58 AM »

Not to be yet another dick on the pile of dicks burying you, but you say you get a lot of positive attention over the wheels... from men, correct? Definitely time to strip them amd go cast grey.

update:

sorry i havent posted anything, a couple of months ago i had a tiny shiver of metal go threw my left eye. i lost pretty much all my vision out of it and havent been doing much besides resting and working trying to catch up with bill's. im finally starting to feel better, enough so where im ready to put in some work. im getting like 2-3 turbo's within the next couple of weeks and then i will have a choice of 4 turbo's to choose which i want to use. i need to save up some cash to order a complete exhaust, roll of brake line, map sensor, misc. odds and ends.

my goal: 170-200ish WHP with decent spool time, and able to breath up top still. im hoping to hit 13's on slicks. ( ill choose the best turbo for the job according to my goals, once i have acquired them all. )

Bet that felt good. Shit.... Get back to work soon.
