is it possible?

 

yes top fuel has a b18c5 turbocharged motor with 550hp in their delsol, or maybe its topsecret and not top fuel, either way its in japan, i'm sure someone in the states has b18c5 delsol

 

id like to sell my car and do the b18c5 in a del sol i bet it would haul

 

I know of 2 del sols that have B18C5's in the NW. One is in Seattle and the other is in Portland. I'm sure that there are others though.

For times, I think most people figured it to be about the same as the B18C5 Civics at high 13's.

uh....why...

 

it is possible and its the same as swapping into a 92-95 hatch or coupe or 4 door, only difference is that you hafta get the shift linkage from a VTEC del sol

Yes, but why waist the money on that, Get a h22 in the del sol and you can spank C5's all day long.

 

that thing would be a tire burning demon.....

Something I may be doing to my Sol. Civic and del Sol swaps are the same.

Civic hatches w/swaps will eat you up, sol's are hella heavy

 

sols are only like 300 pounds heavier than civs, pretty sure they're lighter than tegs.....

ONLY 300lbs? That's like hauling a fat chick in your Civic everywhere you go... nothing to be proud of.

According to edmunds.com:

Si HB: 2390#
EX 2 dr: 2443#
EX 4 dr: 2522#
del Sol Si: 2414#

Very comparable in my mind.

 

Maybe a Del Sol VTEC is 300lbs heavier than a hatch, but it already has a b-series, etc. In my opinion, swap into what ever car you want...I would never let 200lbs keep me from getting the car i wanted, theres always ways around it...

True, comparable to heavy *** Si hatches (like mine), but CX/VX and even DX hatches have a pretty big advantage in the weight dept

Only when you compare the VTEC model del Sols, which already have the B series engine.......look at a Civic DX hatch compared to a del Sol S......OR weigh a Civic hatch with swap to a del Sol VTEC.....

In the end, there's a slight (&lt;100lb ?) difference, a lot of which can be attributed to removable items, like power steering, etc, etc. But I'll take the weight penalty for the style of the del Sol, which I prefer. If I wanted a track only EG/EH, I'd take a Civic CX hatch any day, but that's not why I bought the car.

I guess it's just personal opinion. If I started over again, and was going to be competitive, I'd start with the lightest chasis, to make the most of my mods. 100 lbs is quite a bit in my opinion

I agree with you if thats what you intend to do with the car, Competitive racing...but for an everyday driven street car, i don't think you should let 100lbs sway you from getting the car you like best

Good point Mpir3 That's why I have a pig of an Si with sunroof 4 wheel disk, etc

 

SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My del sol v-tec weighs slightly under 2400lbs with abs, ps, and a/c. People always talk about how heavy del sol's are but I really don't think there is a very big weight difference, especially when you consider it already has a b16.

Try 2600lbs. for a stock 00-01 Type R, not 2800lbs.

Are we really getting into this bullshit again?

 

For reference the stock weight of a 1992-193 CX/VX is only 2094lbs.

As far as the original topic goes, you know the one where the guy already has a Del Sol and is asking about a swap, the swap will go just like it would into any 1992-1995 Civic hatch, coupe, or 4-door except for the shift linkage as someone already stated.

What year is this Del Sol? It might make a small difference in wiring if it is a 1996-1997 Del Sol.
