Default b20 questions & pics of the del Sol

Looking like i'm finally going to go threw on this b20.
It's going in a 97 del sol S. (d16y7)

I posted this before in the hybrid forum, wasn't much help.
Soo.. I'm curious on a couple things.

1. What exact mounts will I need?
2. What ECU should I use? OBD2 p75?
3. Will i need a new intermediate shaft, or is the current DX one fine?
4. Do i need to use "del Sol Vtec" specific axles?

I hope these are the last of my questions. Im just trying to figure out exactly what i need, so i can add it to the long list.

And heres a couple pics of the del Sol. Don't think i've really posted pics of the car in here before. Tell me what you think.

Drew

You'll need either the 94+ Integra, 99-00 Civic Si or the Del Sol VTEC DOHC engine mounts. The D series engine mounts will not work. You can use the OBD2 ecu but it'll cause more headaches so stick with the OBD1 B series ECU. If staying with B20 motor then use LS or B20 ECU, switch over to the B series VTEC ecu if you do the LS/VTEC motor swap. Your del sol axles and intermeidate shaft will not work unless it's the Del Sol VTEC that came with the B16A motor, the D series axles are also smaller in diameter so more easier to snap so you'll need axles from a 94-00 Integra, Del SOl VTEC DOHC or 99-00 Civic Si, the axles from a 1992-1993 Integra GSR may work as well.

you will need to get a rear mount bracket, b series passenger motor mount (the one that goes on the chassis), thats about it for mounts. o yea need a b series engine mount(driver side).

Default Re: b20 questions & pics of the del Sol (jbell)

id be a much better bang for the buck if u just bought a sohc turbo kit for it. no need to swap a motor just cause its a sohc. its got alot of potential.

i dont know if the y7 is a vtec motor or not, but i believe it is.

this right here is your basic $1300 kit without an intercooler. with this alone your going to be faster than most basic b20set ups.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

or u could go all out and get a drag kit like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

or anything inbetween. now i dont know what obd the y7 is. but if its obd 1. then u would buy the kit for the 92-95ex/si. if its obd2 than u would buy the 96-00 ex kit. there not that much different in price.

i just think its a much better bang for the buck. and u get to play with more things. its just more fun. look into it.

del sol turbo sounds pretty fun!

you also need a b series driver side mount bracket .
The one that bolts in underneath the timing belt cover.

This is if your are going to do just a b20 non vtec though...

95's have foglights, not sure bout 97's (off topic)

Arent the B20's non vtec??? If they are, which i think so, then swap on a B16 vtec head. more power and it's pretty much like the ls/vtec thing. But didnt someone state this already, damn i hate it when im a few days late

Thanks for the help. I know exactly what I need now.

I got into an accident. Got the fogs and a 95 bumper. I like the 93-95 front better.

But as for the "put a vtec head on it, it like the LS vtec thing" im highly aware of what b20vtec is. Plus u didn't answer my question, you simply tried to school me on that "lsvtec thing"; a topic you obviously know nothing about.

The sohc turbo, no thanks. Ive been looking into this for months now. FI isnt something i want right now. I'm not concerned with what setup is faster. Thanks for looking out. But in the long run its gunna be a costly investment either way.

I guess you haven't see a del sol before. Still living under that rock?

Chill out, i wasnt sure if the B20 was vtec or not. Others already answered the question so why answer it again??? Just trying to give u some options, not trying to school u.

I know you will need to get the Shift linkage for a Del Sol VTEC because the B series linkage is bent different don't know if you knew that or not.

You say your car is a 97'? did you get the bumper and aux lights from a 93-95?

1. What exact mounts will I need? MOUNTS you can use your del sol MOUNTs....brackets now you will need rear del sol dohc bracket, front BSERIES AC BRAcKET, and front tranny bracket....

2. What ECU should I use? OBD2 p75? if the b20 is just a plane b20 then use a 97 dx ecu....don't know the code
3. Will i need a new intermediate shaft, or is the current DX one fine? dx does not have im shaft....you will need bseries im shaft or half shaft

4. Do i need to use "del Sol Vtec" specific axles? NO....any BSERIES 94-01 will work

You do not want the delSol VTEC axles as they are set up for ABS.

ya dude i had no clue, i never looked into the y7 so i had no clue. i know the z6 and y8 are so really didnt know. either way boosting the D would be his best option i think.

or well, best bang for the buck that is. and id be faster than his b20 cause im pretty sure his b20 would be pretty basic.

no, the y7 is not vtec, and i dont see why he would have to change the mounts, arent all del sols based off the EG and DC chassis? therefore he wouldnt need to change them. i think its only EK's that need changing, and thats not an EK. i could be wrong..

things you need: 94-01 integra drivers side mount, rear tranny mount, both vibration mounts, your d series pass. side mount will work. 94-01 integra or 99-00 si or del sol b16 axles and midshaft. same for shift linkage. i would reccomend running an obd1 pr4 with the obd2-obd1 jumper harness. hope im not too late on this.
