ebpda9 · 09-22-2002, 01:50 PM

nice pics.

delsolvtec · 09-22-2002, 02:37 PM

Yeah, the show was a blast. I went to Hot Import Nights too, but HIN was way too crowded to even get a good look let alone a pic of any cars.

*KwikR6* · 09-23-2002, 01:53 AM

Oh man..your car looks sooo sick....I love it...
As for the H22 turbo'd sol...
I posted that one in here....I like yours better.

delsolvtec · 09-23-2002, 02:04 AM

Thanks, the H22 del sol barely runs half the time. He has all types of problems with it. I guess he bought it from some guy in california already done. Messed up the turbo and manifold somehow, now it's cutting out under boost etc... And that car took second place in the Honda Civic 2dr. class which consisted of about 75-100 Civics/Del Sols... His interior was all stock and missing the vents, the shift boot was ripped... I was totally shocked that they judged his car so highly. Also the metallic in the paint is that spray on car tint... Damn idiot show judges.

Thanks for the compliments by the way.

94_AcCoRd_EX · 09-23-2002, 02:13 AM

Hey bro, that's a really sweet car

delsolvtec · 09-23-2002, 11:37 PM

Thanks 94accord, it's great to hear some people enjoy looking at my car after the countless hours of burnt skin, empty bank accounts and all nighters that have gone into building that thing.

ShEaNy · 09-25-2002, 12:52 PM

ur car looks better then that H22 sol....

delsolvtec · 09-25-2002, 01:07 PM

Thanks man. A lot of people thought so, except for the judges. I sure as hell can't wait to go to one of those private outdoor shows where the crowd votes for the cars.

I'm so with you on that one...!!!

delsolvtec · 09-25-2002, 04:53 PM

You guys keep feeding my ego and my head might explode..

thanks again...

Wait until you see it when I finish reworking the body. Mugen or Spoon carbon front lip, carbon side skirts and rear lower add ons. Also some gunmetal 17" konig imagines and a Veilside rear wing..

TonitrusEN · 09-25-2002, 05:59 PM

omg that bass in a bottle is GARBAGE

Not only is it made by bazooka, but it sounds like trash..

sorry i needed to vent

Your car is phat delsol

.. the other is ghey end of story, the wise one has spoken and so shall it be

delsolvtec · 09-25-2002, 11:22 PM

That bass in a bottle might sound like crap, but it's a trip to look at and then five minutes later realize that it was a speaker and not a nitrous tank. Sure as hell got me.

Oh and that's my buddies GTI, he doesn't need nitrous to get that car moving. That thing is FAST...

That will look sick yo

delsolvtec · 09-26-2002, 01:45 AM

Yeah, I'm going for a more subtle closer to OEM look. I loved the body kit at first but got tired of scraping. I have my coil overs turned all the way down and I don't want to raise the car up, so why not raise the body..

That's a good idea...see I have never really done the body kit thing...and I want to do one soo bad...so i figure **** it..might as well do it now

delsolvtec · 09-26-2002, 01:56 AM

yup, you will love driving a car that looks nothing like your old one. I'm also going to be getting rid of my rims too. Grabbing some Konig Imagines..

*KwikR6* · 09-26-2002, 02:08 AM

I'm going with Tenzo R mean 6's....gunmetal...

delsolvtec · 09-26-2002, 02:10 AM

those are defenately some sweet wheels. I like the Imagines because they are a two piece look. Gunmetal with a polished lip..

*KwikR6* · 09-26-2002, 02:14 AM

Yeah the new mean 6's are also....soo tite..

Kyle · 10-01-2002, 10:54 PM

I got a question...I plan on buying a del sol/turboing it this summer, and I need to know what turbo kit to buy(I think greddy makes one)
I'm a n00b to turbos...so i need a good starter turbo kit

delsolvtec · 10-02-2002, 01:50 AM

It depends on which del sol you are going to buy. If you get the single cam del sol order a turbo kit for a 92-95 Civic, if you get the DOHC then you will have to order a kit for a newer civic SI. Make sure you shell out the extra 700$ for the front mount intercooler and also upgrade your fuel system if you want the car to run right.

Right now I can run up to ten psi of boost with no problems. I am running Arias pistons, total seal rings, a greddy 2mm headgasket, bbk fuel pump, aem fuel rail, venom injectors, b and m fuel pressure riser, apex vafc, zex sparkplugs.

If you are going to run the preset 5psi of boost then you really shouldn't have to worry about the fuel system, but might want to replace the headgasket and stuff to prepare the engine for boost. This also depends on how many miles the car has on it and it's maintenance history. There are so many things to factor in when deciding to turbocharge a daily driven car. You want it to be fast and reliable. Trust me, the upgrades might cost you some $$, but they will save you money and time in the long run.

Kyle · 10-02-2002, 02:03 PM

oops...i forgot to tell you that i'm gonna put an h22 in it too. I wanna turbo the h22

Mmmmm speed

delsolvtec · 10-02-2002, 02:06 PM

You need to talk to LooJay, the guy with the White Del Sol, although I think he bought the car already modded like that.

You will want to pay attention to the same points when turbocharging any motor. The H22 runs a higher compression ratio then the stock del sol single cam motor, so you really want to be careful when adding boost. Boost and high compression don't mix well unless you are running race fuel. I still recommend installing a thicker head gakset to dump the compression down a bit and maybe some low comp pistons to lower it further. No matter what motor you are turbocharging you want to make sure you beef everything up to prevent problems later.
