Well Ive been around a while but i never made a build thread... thought you guys might like to see where my del sol is right now.

94 Del Sol Si
5 Speed
160,XXX miles


Here it is when i picked it up with a "Bad Clutch" which ended up being just a broken axle... very easy fix and cheap







this is after i gave it a wash right after fixing the axle







Spring time wash after cleaned up






OK so here is where the fun begins, cause we all know a stock d16z6 is too slow

pictured is my first del sol, its the white one its auto lol and now sold, the primer one is my donor car, it is now sold as well after i put new parts and the driveline of the black one. and my black one




so here are some pics from the swap of the primer car and mine

Motor is a B18c with no numbers, so its the jdm type R and has matching Transmission

Heads are off of what i think is a GSR because of the p72 code on them

I really dont know the depth of the motor and what has been replaced because i havent torn it apart. but heres the pics









Now inside of the black sol



swap went well, had to deal with some really bad wiring from the PO and had to wire in the knock sensor with the new P72 ecu i bought that came from a GSR

Later I Stripped the paint of the truck because of some really bad fad and repainted it





Bought new wheels... HORRIBLE wheel gap



fixed the gap haha



and here it is the other day after a wash in the cold

sorry but if your motor has a p72 head then your b18c is not a jdm type r

hiemsnox

thats what i thought but then the block would have a number after the b18c

nice start

Mr. EG

Your kidding right? You do know there was a JDM Gs-R with a B18C engine code also. Check what the casting date is off your head and we can give you an idea what block you have. I HIGHLY doubt the block is an ITR. The serial number on the block should be 13xxxxx if its a 96-97 Spec ITR and 2xxxxxxxxxx if its a 98+ Spec ITR.

Ill take a look, i never came across that there was those models when i was looking for engine codes

Btw might take me a little bit to get to it, car is parked right now for the snow.

JDM-EK-B18C5

Am sorry your new rims are ugly bro.

Mr. EG

The casting marks on located on the far left side of the head and for example it will have a 9/8 casting mark if it is a 97-98 motor.

parked for the snow?!? i love my civic in the snow... people think fwd's cant get around, we just got 8 inches today, went and drove around, laughed at a new subi legacy stuck in a ditch...

those wheels are just too big for a 'sol, 14's or 15's would be better. imo.


looks good though, nice find.

some people have lowered cars. if it snows an inch and a half my car isn't moving in any unplowed areas. i.e. my driveway.
rwds can't drive in the snow.

nice build. not much for the styling but its nice.

LS-turboner

i have a lowered car myself actually. if you get stuck in an 1 1/5 of snow, your drivings the problem, not your ride height. heres a couple pics in the snow, one in the DW and one out my windshield.


but i digress,
cool car, ive never ridden in a gsr swapped sol, it'll be a fun car.
