Hey wanted to introduce myself to the build threads...My name is Dan and I live out here in VA. Been in the honda game for awile, and got out for a bit and finally wanted to get back in and go all out. What better way then to go for a k swap . Here are some of my old rides...
00 Civic EX with JDM B16A Swap
My 800 dollar 1990 Nissan 240SX
92 Civic HB VX, Turbo GSR 314whp 216 Trq
94 Teggy with JDM Front, Volks, Champ White Paint and B20
I wanted to make a build thread just for the simple fact I want to track and see my progress on my car and give ideas and inspiration to fellow k20a.org members. Here we go:
Last october I bought a 93 Del Sol Si for 2k with the plans of going k20 and building it up from the ground up.
After months of waiting I picked up this jewel for 2300. 02 RSX TypeS with 76k
Now I dont have any pictures of the stock form of the del sol but you can imagine what a stock del sol looks like.
Here is my setup
Engine:
-02 K20A2 with 76k on the ticker
-Hybrid Racing Mount Kit annodized black
-Sparkks Racing conversion harness
-K-tuned Fuel Rail
-K-tuned Fuel Pressure Regulator
-K-tuned Fuel Filter
-6AN Fuel Lines
-K-tuned clutch line
-K-tuned cold air intake w/velocity coupler
-Replica hytech header
-K20Tuned Swap ECU
-Custom 3" exhaust with vibrant muffler
Transmission:
-6spd RSX Type S Transmission
-Competition Clutch Stage 4 Ironman Clutch
-Competition 8lb Flywheel
-Base RSX Axles (Inners Swapped)
-Hybrid Racing Bolt In Shifter
Suspension:
-KYB AGX Struts
-Tein Lowering Springs
-Energy Suspension Master Bushing Kit
Exterior:
-Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood
-16" Drag wheels with Yokohama Tires
ON WITH THE BUILD!!!!!
Z6 GONE!
The carnage
At this point I had been collecting parts...seeing which route I was gonna go and what parts to get, etc, etc.
After doing some side jobs and long hours at work , I finally got going with the project with the dead line to make it to east coast honda meet. I started with the grinding wheel and started shaving down the firewall and smoothing out the frame rail.
I found this website www.automotivetouchup.com and ordered some base coat and clear in spray cans and painted the bay...it actually came out really good. (this is just temp until the car gets repainted)
Then some parts I collected along the way
Then this HUGE fan i bought at lowes, great for those hot days in the garage
Hybrid Racing shifter installed
Brake tuck in progress...
I wish I took more pictures but I was in such a hurry to get everything done the right way and it was time consuming so the last thing on my mind was to document it. but this picture is when the brake tuck and wire tuck was finished and the dash back in the car with the hybrid racing shifter
Bay mocked up and ready for the motor drop in
K20A2 FTW!!!!
Towed the car to my buddies exhaust shop and had the exhaust made....
Finshed product (swapped wheels with my DD)
Had the car dynoed at Adrenaline Auto after the honda meet and this is what it made
I was pretty stoked!!!
My Future plans are to strip the whole car back down and have it either resprayed the stock captiva blue or go with another blue and go with a high quality set of wheels and suspension
Thanks for looking!!! :dance::dance::driving:
