Installed a kill switch, toggle switch rated for 25 amps

basically splice the switch with 12g wire, into this wire (yellow and green)


switch and wires


crimped in




all interior back in


and my wastegate is on its way

xide_12

wow forgot about this. Got a bunch a stuff and schools over for now so I have a lot more time.

upcomming updates:
-oil lines
-boost/oil press. gauge
-gauge mounting in A-pillar
-vacuum lines
-braided clutch line to fit intake
-NGK spark plugs
-polyurethane shifter bushings
-waste gate
-a vacuum reservoir I made
-replaced a few missing trim/ panel peices

maybe some other things I forgot

Woah nice build man! I wish I could put some more hours into my Sol, but it's my only DD right now so anything I do has to be a weekend thing

If I can find a cheap beater than I can start performing surgery on my Sol

Anyway nice build, I cant wait to see what numbers your putting down.

Nice progress!

xide_12

thanks guys!


small update:
-changed and gapped sparksplugs to 0.030" - BKR7ES v power
-clocked turbo and installed wastegate
-some vacuum lines
-made a vacuum reservoir thing
-made oil drain line

a lot of thing are waiting on something small like the socket for the oil sensor..




clocked turbo


waste gate with 8 psi spring


oil pan off and putting some new nuts n bolts on


oil drain


boost and oil pressure gauges. I wanted the nordskog digital ones but i cant find thier boost gauge anywhere


not installed yet
3rd pod will be for a/f when I buy one. for now ill just put a dimmer for the gauge lights


green thing is the oil pressure sender for the oil feeds (15/16" socket)


T for pressure gauge, oil feed and stock pressure sender


vac manifold with bov, waste gate, and boost gauge so far


waste gate


vacuum reservoir i made. its so i can use the vacuum source more before its depleted, I pretty much wont ever be able to use up my brake pressure either


and yay full trunk interior



tomorows update will be shifter bushings, oil pan back on, and oil lines set up, and hopefully gauges all done

xide_12

yay I bought an apexi ws2 exhaust on craigslist for dirt cheap
only problem is its for en eg hatch. closest one that will fit though, seeing how they never made any for del sol. IIRC I just have to cut out a 5" section of the straight pipe




ES shifter bushing front:
I had to sand it down a little to fit, they were 3mm over sized..


and back one, so much rust


and oil pressure lines are done




and engine bay after and before

xide_12

finally got my camera back so heres what I got done



gauges all installed


painted the a-pillars with SEM vinyle color coat, looks like its from the factory


ran the lines through a hole I drilled just above the clutch pedal, nice and short


connecting power to gauges from the dimmer switch


finally got the damn drain line on! its like 3 inches long




socketed the ecu, and put a zif socket in


and a base map from phearable.net


and a gm 3 bar map sensor for more booooost

xide_12

and some exhaust work,apexi ws2 full exhaust off a eg hatch, they never made on for a sol. its 2.39" which is too contristive for 300 whp so Im going to get a 3" electric cut out for my 3" downpipe. I'll wire it up to the full throttle switch and to a manual over ride switch that I'll install in my dash, buts thats not till winter.


top exhaust is stock and bottom is the apexi


6" was needed to be cut out from just after the S bend




damn that looks good



The only things left are the manual boost controller and to reweld my downpipe. Im splitting a welder with some one but if that takes to long I'll just cut up the downpipe and take it to a machinist to weld it up. then heat wrap it and I'll be good to go. should be started within 2 weeks!

bnoll

updates?

xide_12

just minor free stuff like detail cleaning it and small cosmetics modifications. since I cant drive it the winter, I decided to invest my money else where. but come march/april when all the snow melts then Ill pour money back into this and finish it up as soon as parts arrive

my plan of now is to buy a wideband, ostrich pack and data cables so I can street tune it myself. then ill get it dyno tuned over in Buffalo. I still need a lot more research on tuning.

Suzukifreek

Hey bro lmk when you come to buffalo for tuning I wanna see the car..I got a turbo d16 del sol myself.

xide_12

yay update!
I received my wideband, a/f gauge, ostrich emulator and data loging cables. Just gotta install these and fix a few things here and there. oh yea and I put on an eg lip I got from a junk yard for $2.

wideband


a/f gauge its blue


ostrich


data logging stuff


and the lip, Im going to cut the grill out too

OldSkoolDa91

nice score on the lip! cant find any of those in junk yards around here. really wish i could, especially for 2 bucks!

xide_12

Yea I had to go to another city to find it lol. There's a sweet junk yard out in Buffalo that recycles and crushes their cars about every 2 weeks, but there's only about 10 hondas at a time. and its dirt cheap I bought a 5sp p06 ecu for $18 plus tax.

OldSkoolDa91

nice. wish we had a yard like that. i have one i go to that stuff is cheap, but they dont recycle that often and everything is always sooo picked over cuz they have 2 different businesses and the pull it yourself part just gets the left overs from the main business that basically rapes people

xide_12

I actually had time between work and school today got some stuff done. It feels good to work on her again even though it was 40 and over cast

cut grill out


new black couplers because red did not match


I hooked up some extra wind shield sprayers to a valve on the stock sprayer line. So I can choose between my wind shield washers to work or these ones that should cool the intake temp alot. ethonal = evaporates fast and sucks up a lot of heat


bumper back on again




I have a whole week off in 2 weeks so Im definitely getting her on the road then

xide_12

update:
got her running and the engine is broken in perfectly, she idles perfectly with no cels, and all cylinders are within 3psi of each other
I just have 2 fix the oil feed for the oil pressure gauge because its leaking real bad, I think I over tightened it and cracked the brass. Im loving the apexi exhaust with the turbo and a straight pipe, its seems quieter than modern cars. I should be getting her professionally tuned this week or next after I fix that oil leak.



anyways pics

apexi exhaust all installed


LC-1 mounted


bought a new ecu from H and M motors, it looks and works beautifully


my chip along with a free basemap I got with the ecu. Its for a bone stock h22, which Ill save for my next swap


a Detonation detector to detect... detonation




ready to be broken in N/A


wiring up the DB gauge


installed


first start up

OldSkoolDa91

very nice update. glad to finally see this thing going and ready to see some numbers. hope it all goes smoothly for ya

Guakala

I <3 updates!

loserpunkxx

Awesome build. Inspiration to get my Sol up and going.

xide_12

thanks guys


shes running really well, doesnt burn a drop of oil or coolant, though theres a small oil leak on the oil pan still. I tuned it as best as I could but I still want to get a professional tune which will include a dyno graph sheet so I can see the real power
I got hit with a $500 school bill , theres goes my tuning money.. But at least I graduate in a week and and its summer! Im just gonna sell the moates, osterich and lc1 and that should make up all the money since I dont need them anymore

anyways updates:
-installed xtravision headlights, they do light up the road noticeably better
-installed a fully braided clutch line so I can fit a filter on the inlet of the turbo
-fixed a leak i had in the roof and a trickle leak in the trunk whcih made everything in my trunk damp
-




clutch line from bnr fittings


great quality and a new bleeder valve




and the rot above the driver side
not much I could do since I dont have a welder. I just sanded it down and painted it, then fixed the leak that caused the water to pool there



I should be getting it professional tuned in 2-3 weeks. Until then I have a few inexpensive things to do until then:
-looping the lines on power steering to convert to manual steering
-broadway rear view mirror
-still on the hunt for smaller wheels but everything is way over priced here
-reupholster the targa top

vadimkag

very nice work. good job

markspan6243

hey man i have some stuff from my old del sol if you want it. ill sell it for cheap!! pm me!

xide_12

I finally got around to fixing all the typical del sol leaks Iv had: the two in the targa and the trunk leak, my car is finally leak free!

to fix the trunk leak theres 2 white clips under the back sails that let water leak under them. just replace them and seal them up. no leaks so far



as for the targa leaks I resealed them and tightened the roof down.If you need more then you can also tighten the windows more to the weather striping by taking the panels off
to lube them up I used this stuff, just wear a glove, spread it around, let it sit for a few hours and wipe it off


yay! you can see the seal it makes when they swell up


to tighten the targa buy 10 washer to fit a 12mm bolt, I used these


take off the paneling to reach the targa top pin holders: 3 up front on each side and 2 in the back on each side


tighten them down while the roof is in place so they line up



and I made a sweet new cup holder from one that I found. I melted the bracket into shape with a lighter


it works perfect it holds tight and doesnt spill at all


and to celebrate the fixed seals I washed and waxed her!

Hi, can you please post a list of your full setup still now? We re planning on going turbo too. Very nice low budget build!

Best regards from Germany
