Trustdestruction's Civic Del Sol Si Project

[trustdestruction]

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 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): Turbo Project List LIST UPDATE (02/01/2010): Red=Purchased Blue=Purchased & Installed Turbo Parts $82.40 - Edelbrock T25 Cast Iron Manifold $45.00 - T25/T28 to DSM T25/TD05 Adapter Plate $100.00 - DSM T25 Turbo $150.00 - Downpipe $100.00 - 2" Charge Piping with GReddy Blow-off Valve Flange $59.95 - T-bolt Clamps $40.00 - 27"x5.5"x2.5" with 2" inlets/outlets FMIC $70.00 - Vortech Blow-off Valve $50.00 - Stealthmode Performance Oil Line Kit $25.00 - Tapped Oil Pan $29.99 - Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter $40.00 - Fast-Turbo Vacuum Manifold with Brass Fittings $35.00 - Turbonetics Manual Boost Controller $125.00 - Hondata 4 Bar Map Sensor $159.00 - DynoTune Digital Boost Pressure Gauge $78.00 - Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump $150.00 - RC 440cc Fuel Injectors $130.00 - HKS Type 1 35th Anniversary Edition Turbo Timer $31.00 - GReddy/Blitz/HKS/Apex-i Plug N Play Turbo Timer Harness $268.00 - AEM UEGO Wideband O2 sensor and AFR Gauge Fluids/Gaskets/Other Random Things Needed for Turbo Install $33.45 - Mobil 1 10W-30 Synthetic Oil Gallon $12.99 - Mobil 1 Oil Filter $19.39 - OEM Honda Oil Pan Gasket $11.00 - NGK BKR7E Spark Plugs (1 Step Colder) $1.05 - Anti-Seize Compound $35.00 - A/C 10" Slim Fan $0.00 - O2 Sensor Bung $8.80 - Vacuum Tubing $2.32 - Turbo Coolant Line Plugs $7.83 - -3 AN to 1/8" NPT Adapter $9.87 - Adapter Plate Bolts $? - 1/8" NPT Plugs $5.60 - Downpipe Bolts $27.96 - 2.25" coupler and 2.25"-to-2" reducer coupler (black) Transmission/Axles $60.41 - Perfection Flywheel $292.50 - Competition Clutch Stage 2 Clutch Kit $30.00 - Braided Steel Clutch Line $18.58 - Input Shaft Bearing (Part #91002-PS0-003) $5.15 - Input Shaft Bearing Seal (Part #91216-PL3-005) $120.00 - Auto Zone Duralast Axles $15.00 - OEM Honda MTF $15.23 - Output Shaft Seals (Part #91205-PL3-A01 & 91206-PL3-A01) $49.98 - ARP Flywheel Bolts $6.49 - Liquid Gasket Maker $12.16 - Rear Main Seal (Part #91214-PH3-751) Head Swap Parts $125.00 - JDM D15B Complete Head $0.00 - OEM Honda Head Gasket $77.50 - ARP Head studs $55.62 - Intake/Exhaust Manifold Studs and Nuts $17.00 - Exhaust Manifold Gasket $35.98 - Intake Manifold Gasket (Golden Eagle) $10.00 - Prestone 50/50 Pre-mixed Anti-freeze $9.63 - D16Y8 Cam Gear Tuning $30.00 - Phearable Custom Basemap (Hopefully will cause the car to run good enough to allow me to drive 45 minutes to get a tune... i'll monitor it closely with my wideband) $? - TUNE Grand Total: $3096.08 Left to Go: $56.99

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.

I know that the hood's not a different color, but in the post with only 2 car pics the hood looks like a different shade of black.

What numbers do hope to put down after the operation?
And what's your setup going to be?

you are changing the water pump with the timiing belt correct? Its stupid not to IMO especially when doin a boost project.

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
