Hey I was wondering if a turbo setup in a del sol with H22 is possible?
any opinions

civic_turbo

anythings possible with the right mounts/wiring/knowledge/cash

That's impossible. Not impossible to do, but it will not be a "street car"

My room mate when I lived in Phoenix had a 540whp LS turbo and I hated driving that car. WAY too much power for anything buy a dedicated race car.

That much horsepower on a FWD car on the street is absurd. You'll be going through transmissions weekly with regular driving without a serious $4000+ overhaul of the transmission internals.


OP: Yes, h22 turbo is possible. Really anything is possible.

What are your goals? budget? Judging by the vagueness your question I'd say you don't know much about Hondas. Your question really lacked direction.

Estee.Flows

Yes, it's very possible, might have some clearance issues with the manifold but it's nothing that hasn't been done before. Which H22 are you working with? Closed deck? Open deck?

What the hell are you babbling about?

All I said was that a 1000hp FWD car would be a tough car to drive. The same goes for just about any car. The clutch would be extremely heavy and it's doubtful your car would be reliable enough to be considered a "street car"

I'm not sure whether to be scared or entertained that you recommended youtube for "research"

What's the point of a 1000hp civic on the street anyway? So you can get 3-4mpg and not ever use streetable tires?

People run 9's with 400-500whp race cars, not sure what you'd do with a 1000whp car. I don't think you're an enthusiast or a tuner. I think your an zealous internet fanboy who just believes in nonsensical magic numbers for cool-factor.

Yes.

It's just as easy to turbocharge a H22-powered Del Sol as it is any H22 powered civic of the same generation.

If you need any help, it's here; you just need to filter out the garbage - as you can see.

when you guys use words like "anythings possible" you make it sound like this is an over-the-top swap.

Yes, you wont have every detail of the swap spoon-fed like a b-series swap, and this setup is certainly not plug-and-play.. but it's nothing that someone with some ambition couldn't handle.

johnny boy thats a horrible not possible idea. you'd have to ride on rubber logs to get traction.

plus the 670 hp del sol your talking about going to look up. watch how little traction he gets the entire time. guarantee you he doesn't street drive that car at that PSI.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wh-4Ll8Ai4 is the video in question. seen it plenty.

1khp would be impossible to drive on street tires.

to the OP. theres someone on here that has a h22 in a del sol. its possible. i almost did it but at the time didn't know enough about Hs. now i wish i had.

I 100% agree with this...

JB you have 19 post, Sit down Shut up and learn...

turbociv910

yeah, my 450whp setup would roast stock tires in 5th gear.. street cars dont run et streets for street tires.. 350-400 is the max i run on the street and is still plenty fast. and runs mid 10s with slicks... 1000whp will require ppg gear set with a 5th gear cuff(eliminated 5th), c16,q16, other fuel capable of that much boost.. doesn't sound like a street car to me.

MonkeyMagic

totally impossible.

that is.. the chances of the OP ever using the search button

Don't believe everything you see on the internet. Just because a car is street legal doesn't mean it's a street car.

My mechanics 700whp Camaro is street legal too, he hates to drive it anywhere but on the track though.

You do realize that The Bugatti veyron has like 1000hp.

most exotic cars have 450-550 horsepower at the crank. Putting power like that in a FWD car is insane. That vast majority of boosted hondas don't see more than 250-300whp because beyond that the cars are downright dangerous to drive.

novaksaotome

haha nice video, the car can't even idle.... did you guys noticed that last 14 posts are off topic? yes this setup is possible, just forget about the 1000 hp setup...

TwoFaced

Lol. Very possible. All boils down to time, money, knowledge, or without the knowledge comes more money.

Sorry to continue the off-topic discussion but fanboy up there made my night with the streetable 1000 hp. I've seen people with 300hp D's in a del sol and hate driving it on anything but track. If you can't run anything but slicks...it's not streetable...a steady idle is streetable...traction is streetable...thanks for the laugh though.

GOOD LUCK OP! It's not a crazy idea at all. Just be patient, and research before you dive into an H series in the del sol. Lots of advantages, and definitely and disadvantages that could be overcome with a B series. I'm not trying to talk up the B either I'm an SOHC fan so it all goes back to what you want to do with it, and if you think it's worth it to you after you do the research.

HatchB16

lol haha

H22AFerio

Thats gonna be a crazy sol man 1000hp? good luck brah post vid when done i wanna see that **** in action!

sho_shane

LMAO, reading this just made my day... :D

Your not hearing us, SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND LEARN!!!!

We are not saying that 1000hp hondas are not out there. Just that they are not running on the street every day as DD's. Im sure some guys have those cars and run them down the road sometimes. But I promise you they dont take them to the office 5 days a week, or drive them in the rain, or get good gas milage.

You have alot to learn and you need to get to it. Most of us have been in the game for a very long time and the more you talk the more you sound like a guy who has no idea what their talking about.

For me 300hp on a front wheel drive street car is all you need. END OF STORY!!!

I like how you refer to it as a game. I couldn't help but picture you as a young kid who has seen fast and the furious a few too many times and lives on youtubes trying to find all the rolling races he can.

That's funny. I had that same picture in my head.

nospoolDC2

1. Learn how to type a coherent sentence.

2. You dont know anything about Hondas other than what you see in magazines and on youtube and you think you're sweet. So GTFO.

3. This thread is worthless.
