Hi everyone I am new to the site but not new to the game of performance. I am a dsm (Eclipse Guy) who also love honda, crazy right lol. A little background I started out honda and stayed with honda but chose to get insane with a dsm. I just recently came across a 1997 honda del-sol vtec and I purchased it. I am very excited to building up this honda plateform. The build will be nothing crazy but will represent honda and hold its own as a daily driver. My goal 300 to 400 whp which is modest but respectable. I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to getting this car on the scene. I have been reading on the site for several days and I must say the guys here knows what they are talking about. here is a couple videos if my eclipse in action and I look forward to doing the same with the del sol

Lower boost than I normally run around 44psi This was my first run and needed to see if I could stop at the end of the track lol. The car is capble of 180mph but ga half mile seems pretty scary for me to run at full boost. The next video show what the car is capable of.

still not 44 psi only about 39 psi which is not a lot for a dsm.

This video is my beating up a couple hell cats at the track. My gst is geared for top end speed that is why the traps is high and time a little low I was running only 36psi on these runs without a roll cage didn't want to get kick out of the track for safety reasons.


Here is the eclipse engine after completion with the cyclone intake manifold I did all the work myself and I must say I am proud of the power out put. I plan on doing the same for the b16.


Here is a nice video of my 728whp build it was simple and modest and more than that I am pleased with it to say the least.


I am well respected on dsmtuners.com and I know a lot about dsm. I didn't come here to honda tech to school or to make it seems I know everything I came here to be schooled and to build a honda that gets respect. I bought this car to fix and sell but after driving it I just fell in love with it. I want it to be like the eclipse which i still have and has converted it to awd. I look forward to all of your advice and suggestions Thanks guys for a wonderful site!! Here is my first seeking of advice, what to you guys want to see me do build the car all motor or boost it? the reason I asked is whatever you suggest I am going to go pretty hard for a street car to see what I can get out of it. Thanks. I have not started the build yet but I have already acquired the ecu and everything to tune with hondata so that is out of the way. Glad to be here!!

 

Oh by the way I will be using bc cams and retainers.
