What do you think about putting an acura LS motor in my 97 del sol?

 

Should be easy. Just curious why are you going with the LS?

 

the LS will give me about another 35-40 horsepower and more tourque. My first choice was a GSR but an LS is easier to get and much cheaper. It will have basically the same effect. [IMG][/IMG]

no.. not really.

But it's ok.

yah definetely.

Do you know the most obvious differences between an LS motor and a a GSR motor?

 

what

 

Most of the swaps I've done and or seen take out the A/C and power steering but if you still want it, it can be done. And an LS is not that similar to a GSR.

 

horsepower? vtec? Are you serious? I think an LS motor in any civic is a good thing though, don't get me wrong.

 

You can keep your AC if you use the AC mount from a DOHC vtec delsol. Then just bolt your stock civic AC compressor to that.
You can keep your powersteering also, but I've never had to do it, so Im not sure exactly how its done.

 

i hope your gunna boost the LS...
