Hi all,

Been a while since i sold my boosted em1. I have a project del sol that i'm working on with a z6 engine and I just picked up a Greddy turbo kit for it.

I have a couple of questions for supporting mods since it's been a few years since I've done this.

Feed Line: Do i run a -3an feed for the TD04 turbo? Does it need a restrictor? Would using an oil filter sandwhich plate suffice to get this feed line?

Injectors: What injectors should I run? Ideally I am not looking for anymore than 200hp. Can I use an oem k-series injector?

Fuel pump: Walbro 255 used to be the standard but there are new options on the market today. What should I go with ? Deatschwerks?

Gauge pod: Does anyone make a gauge pod for the del sol chassis that is not an a-pillar style?

Wideband: Is AEM still the most affordable wideband out?

Boost/Oil gauges: I used ProSport gauges in my EM1 , any other recommendation in the same price range?

Thanks all. I'm sure i'll have more questions as I start to tackle the install and such

 

how old is that Greddy kit? I had a Greddy kit back in the 90’s on my EG and don’t remember it having a oil restrictor unless it was built into the fitting on the turbo ( could have been). I would advice calling Greddy to make sure.

Innovative and AEM both have decent wideband kits at a respectable price

I’ve always only used Autometer gauges ...... I’m not much help past that

‘I’m in love with my DW in tank pump. But my 250 Walbro lasted from 96 until 2019 and was still working when I took it out

i used a set or 450 injectors on my old setup

you will need some form of engine management such as Hondata or Neptune

 

Most GReddy kits that used a Mitsu turbocharger used a banjo fitting as part of the oil feed kit. they use a different thread pitch than your Garrett or equivalent turbocharger.

I'll check my mitsu files for the TD04 CHRA.

 

For gauge pod
you can look into The gauge pod that goes where stock radio is

cost 20 bucks shipped
3 gauge pod I got mines wideband. Boost. Oil pressure
it says 96-00 civic but it goes where stereo goes so I’m pretty positive this will work on a delsol too https://3dprinted.bigcartel.com/product/96-99-honda-civic-ek-all-radio-gauge-pod-plate

 

 

Feed line -- the fitting at the CHRA is different so you may need to source the correct one. -3AN is the ideal size feed line

Injectors -- 550cc should do the trick. There are plenty of new injectors to choose from

Fuel pump -- AEM 340lph is what I use. It's E85 compatible too

Gauge pod -- Shift glow makes one. You can mount the gauge inside the instrument cluster (where the clock is). A 2 1/16" gauge fits perfectly in there. Boost gauge is mounted there while the wideband gauge is in the driver's dash vent in my Del Sol.

Wideband -- AEM UEGO is the better choice for this gauge. Innovative seems to have issues from what I've read

Boost/oil gauges -- I've always had good experience with AutoMeter. As for ProSport…..NO.


I wouldn't even bother mounting it there. It's way too low to look at while driving.

 

Welcome back to the boosted world. Id get an aem digital wideband. Maybe the glow shift guage pod. If your gona use a sandwich plate, run only the golden eagle one. Those are filtered, and they dont leak like alot of the other ones.

 

A buddy of mine made a batch of these probably 10 years ago, I think I have one laying around if you're interested.

 

Hey guys, sorry for the late response, just getting back from vacation.

I'm very confused on injectors. There are ebay/amazon no name brands that are $80 for a set of four 550cc and RC 550s are almost $375.

Has anyone used Bosch? The below seems decently priced (about $200 for 4)

Where does this go? Looks like center ac vents?

I just got ac working again in the delsol and never letting it go hahaha

 

I have some RC 550s that I would sell you cheap, like $60 shipped. Let me know. I bought them from a member on here for $100 but never used them, buying new 1000cc now..

 

The 92-95 Greddy SOHC kits used the TD04H-15G which was set up as a banjo style feed originally. When replacing it can be converted to -3AN w/ a new CHRA fitting.

 

ill take em, pm me your paypal. Do they need to be cleaned?

 

I am almost 99% sure there is an AN fitting on it. Ill take some pics when i get home

 

Agreed. I had several of those on both B-series and D-aeries back in early 2000s. They used a banjo style feed fitting like many factory turbo cars. the trick is to know the size and pitch of that inlet fitting. I no longer have a GReddy (Mitsubishi/Garrett hybrid) unit around me, but I'm sure the info is still there. I think it's still the same thread as the Evo 3 Mitsu 16G. That's the place to start

 

Sorry been busy with work, I never ran them, you could get them cleaned I guess? I just bought them and they sat in a box for 5yrs lol. I'll message you tonight or this weekend. Thanks

 

Cool just lmk or send an invoice to samkharisman@gmail.com

 

Some pics of the manifold, turbo and dp elbow

So there is a banjo to an fitting, not sure what size

Also can be seen the bored and v-banded dp elbow

I was thinking of getting the manifold and dp elbow coated with jethot, anyone have any experience?

 

Have a powder coater ceramic coat it with the 2000 degree coating

 

Correct. JetHot is just one company. When the materials are prepared properly, It can do a great job of not only protecting the metal from oxidation, but helps with heat dissipation in the engine bay and leaving the turbo looking great.

As for the fittings, you'll need to measure the thread and pitch. It's not an uncommon one, but you need to check using some measurement gauges. I'm sure it'll be in metric. Something tells me it's going to be an M12 or M14 x1.5 to a -4AN.

 

The first thing you'll want to do is get a new elbow made. They make donut mandrel bends for a really tight radius down pipe without a ton of pie cuts.

 

Ill check with my powdercoat guy if they have anything that high temp

As far as the feed line is concerned, where would the restrictor go here?

 

Absolutely not lmao

I wanted the greddy kit because of the fitment and ease of install. Ive done the whole fabricate a turbo setup from scratch deal and im not interested in doing that this time around, at all

 

It should be 7/16- 24 to xx AN (whichever size plan on running). I still have some of those.

That's an extremely involved piece to make if this car still has a/c. Making that bend and forming it to fit that T2 outlet is a real PITA. Those elbows have a lot of material in them that can be ported out to allow the turbo to flow better. It looks like that may have already been done on one end at least as that elbow from Greddy only had a 2.25" outlet and now looks like it's been opened w/ that vband added.

 

how much are those feed line? I'll take one

and yes , just reinstalled ac in the del sol and i will never ever ever let it go hahaha
