so a good friend of mine has a del sol, and i would like to try and do a turbo set up on it to make it a little bit faster. he basically has the d15 non vtec sohc engine in his car. keep in mind this car he has is not meant to be the fastest on the street, but just a fun little project. i have had experience with putting a turbo on other honda's, but it has been a while since i have done this. i took a quick peek at his car this evening and noticed a few things that were in the way. his a/c system and power steering seemed to take up the most space. i'm just curious what some of the sohc del sol set ups have looked like. i'm almost considering doing a small turbo set up (greddy kit) with no intercooler due to the fact that there isn't much room to work with. i know the greddy kit isn't made for his car, but i'm sure there is a way to fit it in since that turbo set up is very bare bones. either way any info would help. i tried doing a search and all i could find were used cars for sale, and most had dohc engines in them.
thanks

 

all he needs is a manifold that is ac and ps friendly...
an intercooler will fit...

well i'm sure it all can be done, but i'm just scratching my head cuz there doesn't look like a lot of room to work with.. and i thought there would be.

 

Oh there is room, that is a small engine for that bay. They sometimes put dohc b series in the same chassis.

 

yeah some also came from the factory with b series as well.

 

Ya I also have a 95 del sol vtec (comes stock with b16 motor) and it looks very tight heres a pic of my bay
