Introduction: I got the Sol in May 2008, and swapped all my goodies on the Civic to the del Sol, converted the Civic to stock, and sold it. Since then i've been working on the car pretty much nonstop. I wish I could find some pics of the car when I got it, but I forgot to take any. The car was pretty dirty (mostly interior) when I bought it, besides a relatively new, albeit crappy, paint job. The car was 100% stock besides some aftermarket wheels that I put on my old Civic. I don't know why two of the pics have del Sol fat fives on them, I guess the previous owner traded them out for something else... doesn't matter to me.
Here's what it looked like when I bought it (click image to view full size):
So today I finally bought the rest of the parts I need to replace before I can start my turbo project.
Bought timing belt, timing belt tensioner, front brake pads, and a new lower left motor mount. The mount will be here tomorrow, it's on order at advance auto parts. Also, as soon as my check clears the bank i'm ordering some VHT taillight tint spray and the crank pulley removal tool.
Oh and I also bought some fuses because I had the wrong fuses in a couple places, and I just got around finally to fixing that.
you are changing the water pump with the timiing belt correct? Its stupid not to IMO especially when doin a boost project.
oh crap i knew i was forgetting something
how much do those cost, hopefully i'll have enough to pick one up tomorrow
i'm not doing the install until i get the tool though
EDIT: just checked and advance has remanufactured ones for like $32, do you think those are fine?

What numbers do hope to put down after the operation?
And what's your setup going to be?
Around 200whp
I'm considering this GReddy kit that comes with mostly everything, minus turbo timer, intercooler, bov, and gauges, and then buying the stuff it lacks separately. Then i'll sell the e-manage that comes with it, because i'm gonna get a basemap from Phearable and get it tuned.
What i'll probably end up doing is finding/buying a used kit that i can find on craigslist. I see good listings all the time in my area... like there's this complete GReddy kit (with BOV, intercooler, turbo timer) for sale about 15 miles from here for like $800.
if youre going for boost....dont skimp out on a water pump. I believe theyre 60-70 new from honda depending on where you live. If you need a listing of stuff you might want and prices..pm me
