1) what header or manifold I am suppose to use? - hasport/dc/DTR $$

2) what shifter box and cables to use? - Karcepts shifter kit! + 02-04 shifter and cables

3) throttle cable? - 02-04 EP3 $15 from hondapartssource.com

4) axles are k inners and shaft with B outers I believe could that be confirmed?? - yes im using them

5) wiring? what do I do - pay $350 if your not confident with wiring, or make it yourself, i can show you how but i cant hold your hand.

6) fuel delivery this motor as no return??? regulator is in tank on the EP3 ... what do I do exactly? - like everyone else, custom -6AN lines with an aftermarket fuel rail and -6AN return line to an aftermarket regulator and then more -AN line to your return hard line.

7) clutch line? - about 3.5 feet of -4AN hard line with (2) AN to 1/8th pipe thread adapters and (2) -4AN 90deg hose fittings.

8) radiator? use the stock del sol radiator located on the driver side with a slim fan on the inside

btw you will need a EP3 idler pulley as well. just read up on the forums, there are lots of info to gather. which is out in the open.

your welcome.

Thanks for the plug Chameleon, but the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit has not been proven to work in a Del Sol yet. The tunnel shape is different on the Del Sol compared to EG's,EK's, and DC's. It would probably fit, but you might have to do some extra hacking and you might not have a very nice sealed enclosure underneath of the car. Plus, the tunnel is high on the Del Sol and would probably place the shifter pretty high as well. If attempting this, you could possibly space the Shifter Mounting Kit lower to get things at proper height. Karcepts, Inc. will probably not offer anything for this application due to the small demand for Del Sol K-swaps. Sorry... :eek: If you purchase the kit for this swap, you will be performing the install at your own risk.

So you just grabbed the swap and started slappin it in? Never thought to look into anything, just away you went? Seems like you just dove in with your eyes closed here. Better start reading bro.

the dc header doesn't fit
If you would have read befor you started you would have known that...

You need a TSX header or an aftermarket K swap header...
