    Best upgrades for the B16A

    D'oh, bought a SHORT ram intake just before I read this, b/c I don't want water in my engine... Maybe I'll rebuild it to a long ram with some silicone tubes and piping, and put some heat shielding tape 'round it to keep the air cool on its way into the intake... Edit: It's starting to get...

    What parts from the 92-95 Civic Vtecs will fit the Del Sols?

    Yes, another nagger from me... :) I need a bunch of parts (mainly brakes and exhaust, but also a new air filter +++), what parts will fit my Del Sol if I get them with Civic-specs? Or if it's a lot, what will NOT fit? :D Del Sols were never sold new in Norway, so it'll be a lot easier to...

    Best upgrades for the B16A

    ECU-"tweaking"? If chip tuning without turbo will do any good? I don't really know... It's fairly cheap, and you actually get very cheap pre-tuned chipped ECU's for the B16A (N/A) from Skunk2 (to name one). This one supposedly increases torque and hp overall, and moves the VTEC-point. I've...

    Best upgrades for the B16A

    I wanted to make a post where we can establish the best ways to tune the B16A, with respect to the following: 1. The government's traffic test station shouldn't see (visually) that it's suped up (this excludes turboing, supercharging) 2. Somewhat reasonable HP for the $$$. 3. Same durability...

    Questions about the B18C

    Ok, so it's not worth the trouble and cash, then? :/ Got to think of something else. :)

    Questions about the B18C

    I have a '93 Del Sol Vtec (160bhp). I was thinking of putting a turbo on my B16A for more power, but some research of my insane Government's Tax rules for increased HP have made me choose not to do this... :-( When I have to pay like $2500 for the complete install, and then $8000 to the...

    Need ECU help w/ Supercharger project on B16A

    Well, I went there, but didn't find much. I'm a little blind, maybe... But anyway, I'll nag a little more! :) What kind of ECU do I have, exactly? I found somewhere on the net which had an overview of the different ones, but now I've lost it... Sorry for me posting in two threads, I'm a...

    Supercharging the B16A in a '93 Del Sol?

    Ok, so now I got a tip that I should use a basemap. What the heck is a basemap? :P Anyway, I understand that getting a chipped ECU is the best way of handling, but what do I do when this becomes close to impossible because there's nobody to tune it to my car where I live? I am tempted to...

    Need ECU help w/ Supercharger project on B16A

    This sound promising. Where do I find these basemaps? Can someone here make them for me if I specify the injectors and fuel pump? Hmmm. If so, I'm almost in goal, aren't I? :) I plan on using a wideband O2 and just measure the output (eg. if it's around 2,5V I'm happy), but I must read more...

    Supercharging the B16A in a '93 Del Sol?

    approx. 235cfm if i remember correctly. At max. :) Edit: Stock, that is, as mine. :) again.

    Need ECU help w/ Supercharger project on B16A

    Hi! I need aid on a supercharger project - mainly the ECU issues I have. Is it possible to burn a chip which is "universal" or "as universal as possible" for boosting the B16A, if I use a spesific injector/fuel pump setup? Referring to my thread in the "Forced Induction"-section for...

    Supercharging the B16A in a '93 Del Sol?

    Hi! I want to supercharge my 1993 Del Sol w/ B16A. The thing is, I want to supercharge it with an electrical supercharger partially developed by a friend who is an aerodynamics engineer, still in education phase of his career, though :) It's a bit different from conventional superchargers...
