A GSR in a del sol is quite a bit of engine and power for a light car. It should move good once he gets that dropped in.

I don't know if it is easy as putting a GSR in a vic but I heard that delsol and crx are harder...
Can't wait to see the video of a 7th gen and this delsol GSR [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

GSR in a Del Sol is simple--same engine mounts as a B16a, and we all know that the Del Sol VTEC has a B16a, so it's an easy swap.

Yeah, the engine mounts are very similar, if not the same. the only thing I can think of are clearance issues with the radiator and exhaust manifold or perhaps the intake manifold being awfully close to the firewall, but that can be easily cured. The Del Sol Si came factory with a B16A motor, and was an excellent little car, I've driven a few and loved the seats, handling, and of course... the targa top! One problem, I HAD to have the targa top off to drive it... i'm 6'6" tall. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

By the way, if anyone ever runs across a Del Sol Si with the factory Grasshopper Green paint, please shoot me a PM.

The us SI only has SOHC Vtec engine (basically an ex).

yeah, but the del sol VTEC that came in fairly small numbers does pack the b16a and was sold here in the states. i'd love to get my hands on one of those as a toy car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

dont use a gsr motor. use a b20 bottom end (out of a crv) with either a type r head or a gsr head.. that is the ultimate combo.. the b20 bottom ends are very strong and will take very well to boost. and if your running a turbodont use a vtec head. vtec and turbos do not go togethere very well. ues a nonturbo head. but for sure use that bottom end.

would you say the b20 bottom end is best for any applicaton, even you don't replace the internals? i hear a lot about b20 hybrid motors going out within 50k miles because they weren't designed to handle high compression.

that "stock" del sol with the b18.. lol, it must be fun ripping people a new one with 14" hubbies and peashooter exhaust. i can imagine the look on people's faces [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

if u want to do a b20vtec then do a b20 block wif a typeR head or a civic si head... its better than a gsr head...and the reason why u hear bout that shiet bout it goin out is because to have to make the oil hole on the block bigger and if you dont know how to do it then u can mess the block up and u will only think its a little oil but its a lot.
