Hey all. I'm interested in picking up a project car. I've been looking at a '93 Del Sol S in my area, and I wanted some thoughts from some seasoned Honda vets.
My power goal is 300 at the wheels, hopefully for $4-6k.
The Del Sol has a D15b7 with a stock manual trans
1) I'm going to have to pull the motor to hit my power goal- I'm thinking B-series NA would be reasonable.
What motor should I go with? Will I have to pull the transmission, and rebuild it/swap it, or will the stock transmission handle 300whp?
2) The car is OBD1, with a P06 ecu- chip it, swap it, or go aftermarket? What if I swap in a OBD2 engine?
All in all, before I move in on this car I want to make sure that my goal is actually achievable, and that I won't be getting ahead of my wallet. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
