Just saying hello to you all, im hoping to learn lot's of things here since i am new to the honda world.
Traded my heads/cam 1991 mustang gt on 10/24/2009 because the mpg were killing me and i needed a car with a/c and radio. so i picked this up from a really cool dude that did the swap and everything on the car himself. gotta say i'm pretty happy with the performance and looks of the car. it's very light and corners like a go-kart.






Mods:
aem fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator
dc 4-1 header with f1 exhaust (sounds nice and deep not ricey)
arc cold air intake
walboro 255 fuel pump
97 front bumper with type r front lip
Carbon fiber hood
3 month old paint with 3 year warranty

future plans include a turbo set-up, if anyone has any info on turboing a stock b16a2 like mine let me know.

 

clean as ****kkkkkkkkk

but how many horses did your stang have? i bet your missing that

 

never dynoed it but with the mods it had about 240-250 rwhp. only thing i rly miss is the sound but other than that i am loving this new car

 

Welcome, I know I miss my 5.0 306 Heads, cam, piston and spray was a fun car

 

yeah i had a little 75 shot on mine it was fun.

 

here's a couple more shots

 

Niiiiice
Hey i heard the 302 in the 5.0 means $302 in gasoline a week. Is that right?

 

i drive alot so about 20 bucks every 3 days..it was running 93 octane too so it was getting killer

 

how far are you away from PC

so if your seats and the diamond plate floor boards come up missing dont look at me

 

clean *** car..

 

thanks for the comments
any ideas on a cheap turbo build? (i been reading up on 'junkyard turbo builds')

 

hahaha

 

what do you all think about this ebay kit
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4...Q5fAccessories

 

I've heard alot of different things about ebay turbo kits. Ones say its garbage. Others say its good. Let me tell you what i no. I have a friend who has a gsr. He decided to turbo it and so he got an ebay turbo kit. He is boosting around 8-9 psi. On stock internals, he is running 315 hp. He has been driving on that same turbo for 2 years already. So its up to you...

 

welcome to the good side! =] nide de la sol sir! and whatta way to determine the 5.0 to 1.6 comparison. hahaha.

 

ive heard alot of reliable things about ebay kits (more reliable than bad reviews i have to say)

its the turbo charger that is the most worried to me,
you can rebuild the BOV and WG with hks or tial internals and make them more reliable

 

Egay turbos are good for the money
You can rebuild them easily like linked said. Just make sure to get the cast manifold not stainless steel.

They also wont spool as fast as a good name brand turbo

 

so if i can get that kit minus the turbo and then get like a brand t3 or something would that be a good idea?

also thanks for the welcomes and comments

 

You could do that or just piece a kit together. The main fail point on the ebay turbokits is the turbo manifold. They crack alll the time because the lack the supports needed to hold all the weight from the turbo and wastegate.

 

i F-ing hate del sol's. but this is clean as ****. looks nice for sure.
i have a friend who owns 2 heavily modded mustangs, yet he
also as a built LS swapped crx. its ok to like hondas lol

 

yeah coming from the mustang world to this is different..everyone i knew that owns a mustang thinks it's god's gift to the world lol. but the more i drive the car the more i like it

 

that ***** mad clean bro.

 

^^ thanks man
anyone want to guess what it's putting down as far whp and maybe a ballpark 1/4 time. i been hearing low 14's but i doubt it

 

Clean...... : )

 

Very nice move, from a domestic ****** to a pimp driving a clean sol! If you ever have questions, feel free to PM me, I am a honda tech and del sol enthusiast.
