best time so far with new tune is 11.8 @ 118.5

Nice set up

 

Any more pics of the exhaust mani, almost looks like if was a rear mount turbo set up, but i see the hot side coming up where the power steering used to be, looks good tho!!!

 

if you hid the intercooler a little it would be sleeper than hell

 

sleeper untill they see the front of the car, nice build and good luck.

 

givesme insiration

yea, so one thinks del sols are faster than 15 second cars cuz theys SO heavy

 

yea show us some pics of that manifold

 

they have to catch up to robbie to see the FMIC

 

Thats a nice setup. Hopefully when I'm through with my project I'll be in the 11's. Good work.

 

Did you modify a normal set of headers to accept a turbo???? Never thought of that before. Nice car

 

Also curious to see turbo location and header design. I'm curious to see if the turbo is way down there... and it if is, how the oil drain is functioning.

 

yes the turbo is mounted too low. about 2" too low. the oil return is SHITTY. thus the reason why the turbo is blown.

and no it's not a modified header, it was made from scratch by a friend. he can modify so that the turbo would return the oil efficiently, but i cannot go without my car for the 3-4days it would take to do so.

 

cool pic of downpipe being made

 

very nice del sol fixing to turbo mine want be as fast as yours nice setup

 

nice del sol!

 

 

sik!!!!!!!

 

u can def get those 60's down, good luck!

 

it's nice to see a car you've worked so hard on getting solid results. Nice work man!

 

there's that freak of a motor that I know .....oh and I'm ready for another try at you. how's a 60 roll?

 

nice car, but then im biased because i also drive a black '94 del sol VTEC

 

nice sol....reminds me of mine

 

hey awesome car, got any shots of that manifold?
