Hey everyone.
I have a '93 del Sol Si with a JDM GSR swap. I noticed a subtle smell of coolant in the cab when driving. When I looked under the hood I saw a tiny spray of coolant coming from pin-hole in the small hose that attaches from the thermostat housing to the passenger side of the...
Hey CAFROG. Thank you for the compliment. I wasn't sure what you thought you heard until I listened to the hot laps video. There is a stretch of video there were it does almost seem like the engine is bogging when I upshift and go WOT. Not sure why it sounded that way other than I must have been...
Thanks dilbeckskate. It's new content from a different day. It wouldn't make sense unless I created a thread that was open-ended about race videos. Thanks for the input regardless.
I'm glad that you find my content worthwhile and interesting! Tracking my car is by far my favourite hobby. I'm...
Hey everyone.
I took my '93 del Sol Si to the track for the second time this past weekend (May 21, 2018). I officially doubled the number of times I went last year!! Long story short.... I blew the motor the first day out last year.
You can see all the details of the modifications to the car...
Mosport (technically the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) has a few tracks. That one is the Driver Development Track (DDT). As you can see it's a more technical track which is great for smaller nimble cars like mine. You can actually get some use out of the gears unlike some of the powerful cars...
Thank you! I joined last year when I was in the process of getting the swap together! I got some excellent feedback from other members.
Thanks! It's taken quite a few years, a lot of research and quite a bit of trial and error to get the vehicle where it is now. That's why forums like this are...
Hey everyone.
I took my car out to the track for the first time yesterday (April 29th) with the new motor and transmission set up. My previous set up was a fully built NA d16z6 that made 158whp and 116wtrq with a custom ratio and Quaife LSD S40B000 5-speed. Unfortunately an exhaust valve broke...
Great! I'll look into those other options as well. At the moment, the steering is fine while the car is being driven but a little challenging when at a complete stop!
Hey everyone.
I recently completed an OBD1 JDM GSR swap into my '93 del Sol Si. I thought I had the correct power steering pump (actually had two of them) which I had purchased from the swap seller and a private seller but it turns out they are both incorrect. I have the proper mounting...
It's finally done!
Over the last 12 years of owning a Honda Civic of some form or another and building and tracking d-series motors, I've finally made the switch to a b-series. I had built an NA d16z6 that was making 158hp and 116trq to the wheels on a Mustang Dyno. I had built a custom 5-speed...
I did a little digging. When I bought the motor I had the supplier install a two-bolt post onto the motor to mount up with the two-bolt engine mounts I had. It turns out that the post may be from an older generation GSR. I got the correct part number and I've ordered the correct post. It should...
Hey everyone.
I'm having an issue with my swap. For reference, I'm getting an OBD1 JDM GSR b18c motor swapped into my '93 del Sol Si. It had a d16z6 and I was using Innovative Mounts engine mounts with 75A poly.
I contacted Innovative Mounts to confirm if their driver's side 2-bolt mount...
I'm not sure whether I have the '95-'97 ITR S80 or the '98-'01 ITR S80. I know there's a way to find out but I'm not keen on cracking open the case unless I have to.
Here's the stock d-series S40B000 gearing:
1. 3.250
2. 1.909
3. 1.250
4. 0.909
5. 0.702
FD. 4.25
Here's what mine is like right...
I've been a loyal d-series fan for 12 years. I set myself a goal and I achieved it. It just didn't last long... the motor was over-built and a fatal error (keeping OEM valves vs aftermarket) was the cause.
It's time for a change. Time for a new challenge. A few friends are glad to see me...
