Re: DEL SOL:high 11's low 12's what does it take?
lets put it this way if you have a stock del sol
b series motor-$1,000-$4,500
building the block for high compression+I or H beam rods- $1,000- $3,000
or you could do
K-series motor-$3,000 to $5,000
you will need shift linkage adapter shifter box, engine mounts, k-pro, engine harness conversion, and most of all time to do the swap seeings how its not a direct drop in
oh yea after you get the motor dropped in and running you will need to get tuned which could cost anywhere from $400-$1,000 depending on what you use for tuning program and who tunes it and what their rate is

forget swaps, turbos, blah blah. are you any kind of good driver and have you ever been to the track? you could buy a built b-series or k-series and still run 15's.

Recipe for 11-12 second all-motor Del Sol:
Ingredients:
Del Sol
B-series or K-series motor swap
1. Remove seats, carpet, dash, spare tire, interior plastics
2. put a built B-series or K-series swap in Del Sol
3. Load Del Sol into the cargo hold of a C-5 Galaxy
4. Open the pod bay doors and drop her out
You'll get 11-12 sec 1/4 easy.

If money is an issue, I would do a H2B swap + some bolt ons. If your a good mechanic with some money G23.

Re: DEL SOL:high 11's low 12's what does it take?
and are you hoping for a daily driver? because your not going to get that. In order to run 11's or low 12's you are going to need a FULLY BUILT B20VTEC or LSVTEC. complete with heavy *** cams and big ports. Expect to spend atleast 6k on this setup. And expect to be beat down by anyone with a properly done turbo setup.

I was gonna say it'll take a miracle. Once you make the necessary levels of power, you'll have to pray you can find traction. I saw a del Sol on Speed Channel, driver said it had like 670hp, it was running on like 10" wide front slicks, aired down to an ungodly low psi, still spun through at least the 60ft mark and ran like 11.50. Moral of the story is it's not all about the setup if you're a horrible driver.

13's isnt that hard, but all motor your still talking about it being a pretty built B20VTEC or LSVTEC. turbo on the other hand is way easier. Hell my DD would run a low 13, considering how hard i pull on cars in the 13 second category.

13s is more achievable without spending too much. a turbo setup with a good tune and some slicks, will have you there.

A car I know that had changed hands twice ran a 11.99 at clay city 1/4 mile here in ky. Stock ls running 15 psi 50-trim turbo slicks limited slip OBX if I remember right. Also had traction bars using the anti-lag tuned on Crome (street tuned) open dp. He is a fairly good driver. The new car setup is stock head. 9-1 ratio forged pistons and eagle rods put down 263hp on a dynojet ran a 11.62 this past fall. All this in a 94 integ

hp is relative when you are talking about 1/4mi times. all motor cars can run faster with less hp because they dont have turbo lag to worry about, granted they usually cost the same or more, its the way the power kicks in that determines the times...and the driver's abilities.

theres a guy with a h2b with 268whp in a eg that runs mid 11s pretty consistantly, so i dont see that being too far of a stretch, it comes down to track prep and driver ability.

H2B HANDS DOWN.
Forget B series, thats like buying a Geo tracker when for the same price you could buy a lexus.
