Hmmm....
the del sol is a light car very light in fact and if u want power .. its simple do teh h22a
|
Del Sols may look small, but they are actually very heavy. 200 lbs heavier than a standard civic infact. Also the H22 swap is very difficult and complicated compared to the B series which came in that chassis.
make sure its out of a TYPE R with a the propper after market ECU

Type R engines are rediculously expensive and if your considering forced induction, not realy that much better a starting point than a standard engine. If you want a really fast all motor car, the type R has alot of good things on it that make it a good engine to use (knife edged crank, stonger rods, ligher internals, oil coolers, oil sprayers for the crankcase, pistions and valve train, and alot of stuff in the head), but they are in such high demand and so few were made, they are not really worth the cost comparitively.
ok i must add that vtec is only good for 100.000km after that they loose there VTECness
|
What??? You know, honda has never once had a Vtec system fail. Ever. On any engine, any model. My freinds CRX uses an old B16 with 225,000 miles and it still runs as good as my engine. In fact, I would say the biggest advantage of honda engines is that they go forever.
Impressive knowlege you've got there Adamk24, you got any pics/vids/more info on your civic?
