dual exhaust is too heavy. what model was your project del sol before you swapped the b18?

94SolGrl · 09-18-2005, 11:01 PM

My duals weighed less than my stock cat/piping/muffler. It was straight piped off the header, though, which you can't get away with anywhere that has any kind of emissions. Luckily, I don't. And it was a 93 Si model.

+1 for DOHC swap.
I just have a skunk 2 catback, neuspeed headers on the way hopefully. I havent had the car very long.

skunk2 is an awesome exhaust, but not for what I'm eventually doing.. hopefully this time next year the car will be running at about 12-15psi of boost, and turbos hate mufflers and all that.. they don't like backpressure.

yea. you must not have stock internals. I'm planning on running about 7 psi by next august. the 2.5" piping and very low restriction muffler shouldn't be too bad at that low level of FI.

B16A3 actually and they weren't made in '93. this isn't a del Sol VTEC, it's a del Sol Si.

and a B16A1 doesn't exist.

JustaSol shut up until you know what you're talking about... b16a1 is legit. OBD0 in 88-91 crx si's I believe...

Yes b16a3 is the dohc engine in sol vtec but b16a1 is the old cable tranny version of the b16,I think it was only available in the JDM cars, it was an obd 0 like solgirl said. but like the original thread says it's for an SI sol with the d16z6 since it's a 93

Um Emily we never got those state side and JDM motors drop the last digit.
it was just b16a for those old birds.

blah blah blah blah

I stand corrected. Regardless, they're st00pid.

the b16a is often reffered to as the b16a1, so i guess you could say no one is completely correct, but technically it is the b16a. btw- i believe that the b16a2 was also offered in the del sol VTEC (96 and 97- I have one), not just the b16a3.

94SolGrl · 10-12-2005, 11:36 PM

it was... they did a weird numbering on it.. the older (94/95) DOHC VTEC models are b16a3, and the newer ones (96/97) are b16a2. Never understood that, but whateva.

vtecsol · 10-14-2005, 12:09 AM

I think it was just because they switched from obd1 to obd2- i get the shaft
