I have my Del Sol and I don't know what to do.. its one of the sweetest Del Sols u can look at it and if you like if please try to help me
http://vankata1.tripod.com/ima...shena
So i have the Del Sol S 94. i swaped a JDM b16A (170hp) i have the 6puck clutch,CAI,4-1 headers, full exhaust 2 1/4 inch, fuel regulator,shaved flywheel,17'' rims. and wet NOS 50shot. i got my head shaved 0.66mm and real good port and polish.
So i tested my car and goes 14.7 in 1/4 mile and 0-60 6.3
and thats without the nos and with the 17'' rims on it .I know 17 sucks but i race with them).oh well 14.7 was ok but here it coems the problem i test the car 5 more times and it gives me 14.9 and than 15.3 15.5 and now it's about 15.3 in 1/4 mile. AND THAT SUCKS i cant get any 14.8s no more?? i don't know why? the only thing i can think of is the fuel.i have the stock DEL SOL S fuel PUMP and stock del sol S injectors i just changed the stock fuel regulator with a real good one).
Can anyone tell me if the stock Fuel pump for Del SOl S (102hp) and stock injectors can handle 200hp coz my B16 is about 200hp whan i got the 14.7 time.
So i just don't get it why the del sol got so slow it should be in mid 14's all the time. So please give me some info about stock del Sol S fuel pump and injectors coz i cant find info on the net about the them! thanks

 

hey if you hit 14.7 with the stock s that means they are able to handle and get you in that time whatever happend after that could be numerous things check, spark plugs, wires, intake, 2 be clean, maybe ur fuel filter has gotten clucked up during time **** like that

 

after looking at your car, what exactly are you trying to achieve speed or looks?
the weight from the bodykit, rims, and all the $hit you put on it is going to slow it down dramatically on a small car like a sol. did you happen to put all that on sometime after you had hit 14.7?

you say you changed the fuel regulator with a "good one", what kind is it and is it adjusted properly? does this "good one" have a gauge on it? if it does what does it read? besides a slower quarter mile does the car do anything else to lead you to believe its a fuel problem? if it was narrowed down to fuel problem, personally i would have changed the pump b4 the regulator. Chances are the pump will go b4 the regulator due to the age of the car and how much it was driven b4 you..

your del sol S injectors are equivelant to GSR or any other b-series injectors (240 cc) i believe so i doubt its that. what kind of 60' times are you pullin? ideally on street tires you should be around 2.1-2.2. anything longer then that is not too good.

 

It's probably just the way you were driving. When I've gone to the track, my times have ranged like that before.... you're not always going to get the same times..

like he said, post your 60 fts and trap speed, cause just the 1/4 mile times don't really help out

 

Try changing your front tires... Use slicks, I bet your times will be lower.

 

Do you work out?

Come on guy, what's that got to do with anything? True, I wouldn't suggest putting a picture up like that but your comment isn't helping anyone

 

Ok.

Were all the runs done on the same day? Were they done on different days? What changed between each run, if anything?

I really don't like the car too much but for all the work you put into her.

 

Take into mind that the air temp is always a factor to. Weather change or under hood temp.

hahaha.

 

maybe you suck at driving. i'm not trying to be mean or funny.

can you drive well?

 

"I have my Del Sol and I don't know what to do.. its one of the sweetest Del Sols" ok, anyone else think this sounds like a joke? even more so with the guido photo thrown in the middle? I mean, honestly, I dont know what to think, its a legit question with horrible backing. Anywho, I have this toilet and I dont know what to do... its one of the sweetest toilets around, should I **** in it?

 

the plates are not USA, and his user name says AZ

 

hahhaha funny people in this forum
Maybe the plates arent US coz the car was shiped to europe from Arizona. and about the toilet i think its a good idea to **** in it, but i'm not sure ,u better call 911 and ask
OK SO i got the 14.8 2 days ago the car is 1120kg about 2450lbs i think. And its not the driver that suck coz my friend (schumaher i think was his name )) ) he tested the car too and he is a good driver for sure but still the car just goes slower. The injectors are 240cc so they are good i guess and the fuel pump is what i'll change for now.
Haha and no i dont work out anymore, the pic is very old about 4 years back in highschool.
And umm..the car is a show car but olso for racing... with the nos my best time was 13.3 on the 17"s and thats not too bad.All the runs are done on a same day and same tires and everything was the same only the times were getting higher 14.7-to 15.5 ...
thanks everyone. sorry for the spelings its hard to speak 4 leanguages

Why is your Honda Tech Location Phoenix/AZ if the car was shipped to Europe? Just curious becasue if you're on a 1/4 mi track in Europe I'd like to know where... or is it safe to assume Bulgaria ? You should race this Del Sol in Sweden: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1115214

Looks like a fun project and very expensive project as I saw here: http://vankata1.tripod.com 33,000.00 You could've been much more faster for that price. yikes!

hmm well i'm sure i can have a much faster car for that much money but i wont be getting the nice DVD player the camera the 2 subs and the 1500wats music... the lambo doors ot the front lights(500$ each) or the body kit that i have now and all that other stuff so i guess if i had all that money now i will still do the same thing to the car and not spend em on turbo or something.instead of B16A i would of put some 240 hp engine but ohh well b16a 170hp is ok i guess thats why i have NOS but i would love to race any car with 1.6L no turbo... anyyyy car on the street! 200hp from 1.6l engine NO TURBO i think thats almost a record !! isnt it?

I though on your website you said that spent the equivelant of 33,000.00, see...

"well all the * means that ,thats price any regular shop will charge you, of course i got all the* for way better price but thats what you would expect to pay if you want DEL SOL SHIZZLEEE like mine!!! hmm so whats the total?? i think its over 33 000 ) well tell me isnt that honda worth that much money just coz its honda and making something to look as beautiful as this from just a regular del sol thats something I'm proud of and money dont really metter whan u look at the car"

Not to be a hater, but del sols suck. They are heavy as hell for their size, and w/ all that rice **** on it, it's gotta weigh near 3000 lbs. The weight of your car alone is holding you back about a second-and-a-half in the quarter. It's either show or go.
