gsxr07

HAHAHAHA

the only less shocking area this would be from is Middletown

most of my ideas are coming from this forum that i've been steadily reading. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2930462

stock weight is 2300lbs, the engine making 200 horsepower STOCK, lets just assume 100hp only from boost, exhaust, intercooler, etc, 300 horsepower. 2300/300 im not a math wizard but its not bad for a car i still only have $2500 in......

would love to put thousands up against.... do you even own a motorcycle yet? i just remeber you and your B/F ringo going at it about which night is date night or whatev..... lets keep it friendly

i predict 14.0 at 90mph

planning on 50 trim garret ball bearing, intercooler, water/methanol inject, other odds and ends, its going to be alot of test and tuning before we break 12's im sure in the 1/4 mile.... but i've seen K20Z1's in del sols with a nice tune running 11.80's all STOCK

nice, going turbo route I am assuming if you are going for 10 sec lap times?

What size turbo and motor work are you planning?

UPDATE: Ok going BIG TIME. Just picked up a K20-Z1 thats a TYPE-S engine, came with 6 speed short throw shifter and everything to do the DEL-SOL swap.

Zamano racing helping build a 10 second car..... more to come!

UPDATE: I have a B18 Integra Type R engine and a built GSR 5 speed trans going in the car this weekend, also picked up a T3/T4 turbo, hoping to crack 12 second 1/4 mile.

Oh and as promised... asian in the 2nd pic with the wheels!!

Doing body work before I touch anything on the engine considering its in excellent condition. Actually the guy who sold me the wheels rebuilds honda engines and was telling me that a non VTEC is better for a turbo build which would be my general direction.... unless anyone knows about a chevy 350 swap..... LOL

Enkei wheels. $125 + $30 for lug nuts = $155

Total build cost so far: $1255

(not counting fuel +$45)

Lookin GRRREAT!!

OOooOo an old fashion jackup job!!! LOL my back!!! ouch

absolutely my friend if you pefer the rest of the cash or detail the choice is yours!

Sounds like a good deal both ways man. Once the weather breaks I'll be hitting you up for the truck detail we worked into the agreed upon price. I usually get an interior and exterior done in under 3 hours, so shouldn't be too bad. Not to mention I detail it 4 times a year, so guess next year I'll only have to do 3!

Enjoy!

Hey gang,

Excited to have my new 93' Honda Del Sol i purchased from OR member

madcat6183 (A+ seller!)

For fun and everything I just wanted to post some mods and things that im doing to the car and hope to get some friendly pointers and learn a few things from more experienced board members, if im lucky make a few new friends!!

Well on the first day I picked up a SWEET deal on a set of 16" enkei wheels for $125, that are a bolt pattern for the del sol. Hope to have some pictures of them mounted in the morning. Lots of plans for the car, i'll keep updates!

Enkei Wheels

oh BTW: AMAZING SELLER!!!!! above and beyond! the extra mile!

I'm open to suggestions.... I'm by no means a pro. I've never cut metal or welded anything. So if the spot to cut and block off is as easy as they say..... i'd say your best guess is as good as mine. Thank you very much sir for your offer, i can compensate.

Post #13.

I can weld it.

I want you to mark it and cut it or mark it. You can get a cheap metal saw, unless you need it notched.

Only reason I am reluctant to cutting is because im not sure how you plan on building the exhaust.

Hey bump for an absolutely AWESOME ohio rider member! The car is everything I wanted... I cant begin to say how nice and helpful, informative... JUST GREAT! Love the car so much!! STAND UP GUY A++++++

can independent motorsports cut and weld pipes?

I plan on buying an adapter to make it fit and yes I've read and sorta seen where the blockage should go. HOWEVER... i'm still searching for a welder/cutter/shop, anybody wanna make some extra funds???

BTW thanks for the input i really really apperciate it!

Hope this helps a little.

The SV has a flange between the pipe and can. If the GSXR is a slip on, you need to have a flange welded on to the can. (you can buy adapters but that's $).

Another option is to cut the flange off and sleeve the connection.

Once you take the pipes off the bike, you can readily see where cutting and welding a "block-off plate" to the left side makes sense. I'm sure any decent welder can handle doing that. BTW, the sharp backwards curve in the pipe from the rear cylinder doesn't look pretty but I would leave that part intact. (you'll see what I mean once you remove the exhaust.)

Keep an eye open for an SV650 passenger peg to clean up the look after that left side pipe is gone.

IMO, you might actually be better off selling the GSXR can, and getting one with a flange ready to go. D&D makes them for the SV also.

For reference, I believe M4 makes a 2-1 exhaust (3/4 system since you reuse the front head pipe) IIRC, Yoshimura no longer does.

OK, enough rambling...Good luck, can't wait to see it.

This is greg. Cash in hand. Calling 1st

Will def add more asian pics . Can someone hook me up with a connect on a person who is able to cut and weld. Have cash and beer!

Subscribed...as long as your Asian friend is included in all pics

Theres a Youtube video where the same guy compares three different pipes on the SV1K (searched, but couldn't find it again). If you're at this stage, I'm guessing that you've seen it. Of the three, the one that sounded the best to me was the 2-1 style. For some reason, it seems to have a deeper tone. I would think it would be just the opposite as its pushing more volume through a single outlet.

Keep us posted. I love the rumble of my SV1K. Yosh RS3 carbon slip-ons that I picked up on ebay for a song. They had been rashed on the outer edges, so I took off the end caps, turned them 180 degrees, and mounted the flipped cans on the other side of the bike (right on left, left on right). Works for me.

I did about 2 weeks worth of reading before actually pulling the trigger on the D&D. I'm all for the 2 to 1. Weight reduction, it looks better, since V-TWIN fires offset it shouldent be a problem for a single exhaust. I plan on keeping everyone posted with PICS all the way to the DYNO!

lol haha thanks I wanted her to hold the pipe so I could get a good angle with the camera..... "thats what she said". But yes I was hoping to hear about some people/shops that might be able to help me come up with a finished product. I'd really like to keep the money within OR.
