I always wanted to build a decently fast Honda. I always fooled around with stock motors and really never had anything that pleased me yet this far. So once I got a couple dollars in front of me and a few people backing me this is what I came up with:

The motor: JDM B18C (GSR)
The car: '95 Honda Del Sol
The parts:

• Eagle Rods
• JE 81.5mm Pistons
• ACL Bearings (Standard mains/Race rods)
• Endyn Block Posts
• Endyn Catch Can
• Cosmetic 81.5mm Head Gasket
• NR1 Crank Pulley
• ARP Head Studs
• Skunk2 Pro Series Intake Manifold
• Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
• Honda Prelude Intake Manifold Studs
• Precision 1200cc Injectors
• Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
• Blox Fuel Pressure Regulator
• B&M Fuel Pressure Gauge
• 12inch "Slimline" Radiator Fan
• Godspeed Dual Core Radiator
• Skunk2 Short Throw Shifter
• Skunk2 Shift ****
• Password JDM Shifter Bushings
• Skunk2 Pro-S Coilovers
• Blox Camber Kits Front and Rear
• Blox Rear Lower Control Arms (Brand new)
• Sunpro Gauges (Boost, Vacuum, Oil Pressure, volts)
• LC1 Wide Band With DB Gauge
• Electronical Boost Solenoid
• Nitrous Express Kit (for spraying the intercooler)
• Blox Oil Filter Adaptor
• Blox Vacuum Manifold
• Moroso Baffled Oil Pan
• Moroso Breather (for catch can)
• Skunk2 Cam Seal
• Type-R Throttle Cable
• Type-R Throttle Bracket
• 3inch Exhaust (straight pipe)
• ACT Xtreme Clutch Kit (AI4-XTG6)
• Fidanza Flywheel
• Skunk2 Titanium Retainers
• Skunk2 Dual Valve Springs (Tuner series)

The Turbo Set-up:

o AFI ram Horn turbo manifold

o Garrett GT35R turbocharger

o Tial mv-r wastegate (44mm)

o PeakBoost(Garrett core)24x6x3.5 Intercooler (2.5" inlet and outlet)(Bead rolled)

o Tial 50mm blow off valve

o (Aluminum)MANDREL BENT MIRROR POLISHED complete 3 piece 2.5" charge piping with bead rolled ends to prevent piping blow offs

o 3inch Stainless downpipe with stainless flex section

o Wastegate dumptube

o Stainless oil feed (-3) and oil drain (-10) lines

o Weldless 100% leak free oil drain line

o Strong T-Bolt hose clamps

On this set-up the car made 470whp and 315tq. I maxed out the air flow of the inner cooler and the intake manifold with this set-up. I do plan on more power to come as soon as I can come up with the money to do so....




The Car Was TUNED BY Innovative Motor Works & J-K Tuning Out Of Carlisle,Pa

 

Pictures of the build to follow soon........

 

yes, pics please!

 

how much cash did you have to drop into that GSR? def. need some good pics

 

I will be posting a few of the pictures from my build here in a couple of hours.

 

Not 100% sure on the exact dollar amount, but im sure with everything all said and done to the car including some jdm parts that I have not listed its over $15,000.

 

Here are a few pictures of the car with the bone stock gsr in it for now.

 

thats dope, its a total sleeper. needs some rims though, maybe a set of GSR blades to match the motor??

 

so Im guessing you have not bought any of the parts listed yet.

 

Iv thought about getting a set of blades for it but im starting to like the cheap shitty looking ****. lol

 

No the parts are bought and I drive the car daily. Thats why I posted the dyno sheet. Im doing this post just a little backwards from the way everyone is use to seeing a build thread done.....

 

Picture Time!!!!!!!



we will make this short and sweet to get right to the better pictures sooner:









More to come later.....

 

Cheap *** gasket, lose it, will leak on you sooner or later.

 

I havent had a problem with it yet and have been using it for about 7 months or so. I am getting ready to do some other work to the car and I might just put a new one on.

 

Some random motor tare down picture:

 

Get rid of that gasket it's commonly those cheap ones you find included on ebay chinese sellers headers.

There is always someone who somehow never happens to have a problem....

Middle is Honda header gasket save yourself the headache never use one of those again.

 

While waiting on the motor to get back from the machine shop I mounted up my inner cooler. I will start posting up the rest of the pictures from my build tomorrow. Please let me know what you think this far.

 

What Exhaust gasket do you recommend then?

 

I also use various company that make copper gaskets they conform to surfaces verywell, important when you're turbocharging since more heat is generated.

SCE makes a good one it's embossed with a lip around the port, lasted 3 years cleaned it off bolted it back up.
