I believe so with a mounting kit, im not sure about the turbo, but it should fit since the chassis is the same as a 5G civic, 92-95.

The Del Sol is an EG chassis, thus the engine bay is the same as the EG Civic coupe/hatch/sedan and the same as a DC coupe/sedan Integra. Thus a B18C turbo (if you have a B18C to go with it, otherwise IC piping will run differently to the TB), will fit just fine in the Del Sol engine bay with a B-series motor.

If you get a turbo kit that routes the IC piping away from the AC compressor, then yes you can run AC. PS is not in the way of the IC piping.

Do a search... there are tons of pictures out there an in the forced induction forum. Here's my old turbo B20 setup in my EG hatch using turbo from an ITR... SAME **** as what you'll be run into if you go with a LS swap in your EG Del Sol chassis.



They all look the same to me. Only difference is how you route the IC piping that will allow you to keep AC.... that's about it.

I have a drag manifold and t-3 turbo in my del sol and it all fits. The downpipe comes pretty close to the a/c compressor and the lower i/c line is pretty close to the a/c lines but it all fits. I don't think you will have a problem.
