This is my friends 1994 Del Sol VTEC. It has an LS bottom end with B16 head. The entire motor was built by DPR racing in California. It made 210 HP. I will post an exact parts list once I get it from him. Anyway, here are the pics:

lol, maybe it's just the angle that the pics were taken. The car has 205/50/15's on it. It used to have stock fat fives on it, but he bought these Kosei K1 racing wheels that were roughly a half an inch wider than the fat fives.
 
oohhh nice paint. love the whell/tire combo.
 
Clean ass car, love the 205's too. :thumbsup: for not going ultra-tite-JDM yo as well. Simple is good, simple is fast.
 
maybe its just me, or maybe its the wee.. err..uhhh weird angle.. yeah thats it.

They are 11.5:1 probe pistons, but the compression was calculated by measuring the cc of the combustion chamber filled with water (including the thickness of the head gasket) and the distance from the top of the piston to the top of the deck at tdc, as well as the total cc of the piston. The head was milled to the max witch was a mistake. But all said and done it came to 12:1. I want a thicker head gasket so I can make full use of the cams lift, or maybe even go with larger cams. When the motor was clayed up the valves scratched the piston reliefs, so they feathered them a little deeper.The motor is pretty tight.
 
you may want to consider editing out license plates when you post pics online.

nice car though.
