K series in to delsol ???
I tried to search but really could not come up with any thing. I am thinking that the k swap into a eg civic would be the same as that into a delsol but I just wanted to make sure first. So is the k swap into a sol the same as an eg?
thanks
thanks

Yeah that K20 Del Sol is in my city. I havent seen it in person but seen pics on our local forums. The thing is a sick beast. Best part about it is everything else is stock. Stock wheels suspension.

Stock Suspension? is that even a good idea? i know when unsungsohc was running a D15B7 w/t25 in his 94 hatch on stock suspension is was like a row boat. i cant imagine what a K20 would do to a del sol on stock suspension.

I can. It'll peel the tires off the rims in four passes at the drag strip and attempt to drive at a 45-degree angle at any more than 60% throttle on the street.
Time for some springs, swaybars and good shocks.
And that thing is ****, by the way

well the same suspension in the si d series sol is the same suspension on the b16a sol and the k20a only weighs 5 more lbs than the b series motors....so no, the suspension will perfectly suffice.

Well, that isnt the problem.
The problem is, suspension should match the power of the engine. It will have a lot of pull, and a lot of power into turns and off the line, the suspension must match that so it does not lose control.
I do not know how to explain it, but... I understand it. I am sure there is a thread on this, or someone that can put it in words exactly how the physics work.

Torque output (power) per unit (rpm) is the deciding factor in traction and overall vehicle trajectory. Weight has little to do with it, although more weight or stronger suspension over the drive wheels will aid the overall effectiveness of the car.

Jason is drunk!
For the record the suspension isnt stock and he should have some wheels now.

Re: (marc-111)
k series swaps are ridiculous money. thats y there is like one sol with a k20 swap in it. i dont even see the point in it, other than being VERY different from everyone else. all that money you spend on it you could spend (depending on ur engine) internals turbo, etc.
i do give props to it tho, for the time, money and patience aspect.

He does have a point, it costs like 10k, and with 10k you could do a **** load to a d16z6, build it and put a damn nice turbo and still have money for suspension and rims, etc. If i was loaded with money i would still do the k series, i would love the 6spd, but with my budget it is just out of the question.
Good work though to whoever put that in their car.

Odd. You can buy an entire wrecked 2003 RSX-S with intact airbags, interior and 9800 miles on the perfect K20A2 with boltons, lowering components and a sound system for $5000 shipped to your doorstep. Part it out like I did and you have a 10k mile K20A2 for about $2000. Another $2000 for swap mounts, wiring harness issues, fuel rail, etc and you're golden. K-Pro for another grand and you're up to $5000 for a car that will outrun anything on the road short of a high-end sportscar.
Just gotta look for deals.
