93' Del Sol Si H23A1 Project.
Hey guys, I've decided to sell my prelude shell, and Somewhat make the Del Sol part of the Prelude with parts from it. I'll go ahead and make a list of everything, things will be added when I think of it. Everything that is in Bold are things I already have. Thanks for checking this thread out. Don't have any pics at the moment, But I will start taking some tomorrow morning when I start pulling the motor out of the Prelude.
ENGINE:
- H23A1 Engine.
- M2S4 Transmission.
- Innovative H-Series Mounts.
- Innovative H-Series Axles.
- ARP Headstuds.
- Rosko Racing EGR Block Off Plate.
- eBay Butterfly Delete Plate.
ELECTRICAL:
- Wire Tuck.
- Sony Headunit.
EXTERIOR:
- OEM Headlights With Amber Corner Lights.
- Front Bumper with Shaved Reflectors.
- Hood with Shaved Windshield Nozzles.
- Mugen Replica Front Lip.
- OEM Mudguards.
- OEM Taillights All Red.
INTERIOR:
- All Grey Panels Redone In Tan.
- 4th Gen Prelude Tan Leather Seats.
- OEM Black Door Handles.
SUSPENSION/CHASSIS:
- Drag DR27 15 x 7 +10 offset.
- Nexen 3000 Tires. (195/45/15)
- F&F Type I Coilovers.
- F&F Lower Control Arms. (Polished)
That's all of the **** I can think of off the top of my head haha. Hopefully I can get this car up and running in a couple weeks. It's not going to be turbo'd right away, but that's the plans for the future. I don't plan on building it for atleast a year or two, so i'll have plenty of time to think of which route I'd like to go. I'm debating on getting an F20B that Way I don't have to sleeve it. I just like having the torque.
I did have an H22 head for the frankenstein conversion but ran out of cash for the rest of the swap parts, however I sold that to get the cash for my mount kit. If any of you guys have any parts or come across any that may be useful for this build just let me know, and your price, etc. Anywho, i'll shut my mouth haha. Thanks for looking guys.

Re: 93' Del Sol Si H23A1 Project.
Just to make sure you know this (I thought about the turbo route with my H22a) but the FRM (Fiber Reinforced Metal) cylinder wall liners are pretty thin, plus you have to think about the fact that they bored out the H22 to end up with the H23. I would definitely suggest getting your engine sleeved even for something as low as 9lbs. I have had many people tell me around 8lbs is what an H22 can hold with stock sleeves. But I do love the H-series swap into the Del Sol! But I am somewhat biased because that's what I have in my Sol. Good luck with the build!

EGR Blockoff is here, Thanks to Shawn from Rosko!
Finally cut the hole.
Shift box mocked up.
Alright, it's not much but here's a few pics of ARP Head Studs in, and everything put together. So Excited! Lol.
