Afternoon Drive in the Turbo Del Sol (HD)

Took a little Hot afternoon drive (was 107 degrees out!) and took the camera with me. I finally got to use the suction cup mount that I have had for the longest time so this video should bring a little more to the table in terms of production quality.

Hope you all enjoy, I may do another video with the suction cup mount and get even more creative with it when nicer fall weather comes along.

@tylerthecreation

Engine swap and turbo kit were done by previous owner right before I bought it, he had it all professionally done so he spent a lot. I have since changed the wastegate and spring, the fuel system and got it tuned on a hondata S300. If you were to do all the work your self you could build an equivalent setup for around 3-5k depending on how good of a deal you can get on parts. To have a shop do the swap and turbo and tune you can tack on another 1500-2k at least just in labor.

Cool vid, Ugly styling imo.

For that boost level the H should hold up fine. The down side to the H series as I'm sure know is the factory FRM sleeves they come with, if you want to run forged internals you'd have to resleeve the block. But yeah the torque you will make even at low boost levels on the H will be hilarious, especially in a del sol! Better save up now for all the tires you'll be buying lol.

@95TurboSol Ahhh ok! Almost what I had in mind, I may be running a very similar set up unless I get the H set up strong enough, its just a lot of nick nannys that I have to fix. But I'm only planning on running 7-13 pounds. I will def post a vid soon and I will let you know when it is up!

[95TurboSol]

How strong in terms of internals? I am running bone stock internals, just a low compression head gasket. My engine setup is a Turbonetics T3/T04 Turbo on 7psi, 550cc injectors, sparco IC ect, and the car was professionally dyno tuned by humble performance in Tulsa on a Hondata S300.

Engine has been great though, I did a compression test and it registered 215 and did not vary more then +- 3PSI for all cylinders! Pretty unheard of consistency, especially for a motor with almost 70k miles lol.

@95TurboSol I will soon, I'm trying to get some new cambers in it as we speak tonight lol. Its frustrating as hell lol. I did get a hold of a Blitz turbo, its nothing to big but I've personally never done a turbo in a Sol. My old 91 Prelude SI I hot done at a shop, but I'm more of a hands on guy. How strong is your build if you don't mind me asking?

@HootersAnVodka

Yeah nothing wrong with a good ol mini-me but I love DOHC. You should post some videos of your project, I'd love to check it out.

Cheers :)

I love Del Sol's man, most people really do under estimate them. I'm working on my third one unfortunately but its going to built a lot lot stronger since I have the funds now. Trying to squeeze any twin cam in it instead of a mini me swap. By the way bro, I love the momo steering wheel, its a very sexy touch, even the white dash. I had that same one in my first whip. Keep up the work, long live the Sol's bro!
