I have a 1993 Honda Del Sol S and i want to found out what is the best motor tranny and supercharger i can put into it. Ive heard a lot about B16A2 but i really dont know what is best.

Why not turbocharge it?

RT_NEWYORK

what is your budget?

You NEED to do more research turbo is better bang for you'r buck than a supercharger. A b16 is TQ'less and will dissapoint you go for the B18(Vtec). Or a K swap best tranny ? the JDM S80 w/LSD out of the ITR.

Budget. Power goals. If you don't know or tell us "money isn't an option" then it won't matter what we say.

B16 parts and motors are getting harder and harder to find.

Why do you need more power?

I have a budget of 15,000 for the motor tranny and body mods but Im not really worried about the body mods right this moment, they can wait if need be. I don't particularly care for turbos because of the lag. If there was a way to keep from turbo lag I'm all ears.

A properly sized turbo!!!

Sounds like you should spend some more time researching. Also check out last months threads on this topic!

For fifteen grand, you can build a B16 or B18 to withstand 1000+bhp. Get a B18 block, get AEBS sleeves, have it bored and stroked, get high quality pistons and rods. Get an LS or GS-R head, get it fully worked with a high quality valve train. Get a turbo properly sized for your bore/stroke, and you'll easily have a reliable 600+bhp car with money left over for an LSD transmission and a dual surface clutch.

Turbo lag isn't entirely a bad thing, especially on a small, light car like the Civic/Del Sol. The combination of light weight and F/F means traction is a serious problem, and if your torque band is immediate (as it would be with a blower), you'll be spinning everywhere. Regardless, a properly sized turbo will make power right where you need it, and once you properly learn how to drive a turbo'ed car, you'll realize why it's a clearly superior option for a Honda.

Doubtful that is your budget. Otherwise you could walk into any shop and have it built.

You're the kind of guy that when he gets asked what kind of engine he has says "Pennzoil" aren't you?

Like I said the 15k is supposed to be for everything and i dont just want to walk into a shop and say "make it fast" i would like to know what to tell them before i walk into the shop to start the work.

redtherocket

Everything you need to know about blowing 15k into a Civic is in some car magazine somewhere...

I'm sure there is a list of go fast mods/parts you could lose that money on...


Your crazy man...

You could get a fine G35 or Subaru for that kind of cash... And have to do basically nothing to it...


That's just my opinion, which is a bit biased...


Good luck to you.

If you have 15k to blow K swap it (k24 w/k20a2 head) then boost it you'll have a TQ monster.

speedjunkie_g35

I got 10k in my hatch and it would eat my old g35 alive which happened to be one of the fastest vq's in my area! I only had 30k in my g. Granted I miss the comfort and performance of it.

Whydid

No you, the OP.
