Del Sol TURBO (Work in progress)!!!
Here is a pic of a Honda Del Sol that we will be turbocharging using our LHT400 Kit. These two, show the engine bay before any work by us has been done. We will update it as we go.
This has a stock JDM Type R engine swap, the compression is 11-1 from the factory so the plan is around 270whp ( 7-8 psi).
We will also be building and installing one of our 3" Stainless exhausts.
This will be on Display at the LHT Open house , See it in person. Dec 17th
Updates 12/6/2006
The exhaust manifold had been removed for test fitting the Turbo and manifold.It also give us chance to clean up the engine bay . Note the thottle cable has ben replaced with new the right size.
The intercooler is mounted keeping the bumper support, It is a Precision AS1025 ( 600HP) which has been our favorite , We have used this intercooler over 600whp and it's performed fanatstic.

Manifold and turbo are installed with the oil feed and drain. The manifold if a shorty tubular ( on the LHT Type R) which allows for a true 3" downpipe. This is AC compatble , it has ample room for the factory AC fan so everything functions.The manifold is Thermal coated black , This helps with under hood temps.
The downpipe has the Waste gate routed back into the exhaust .This is not only sounds better but makes it easier to hear other things that might go on under the hood. Some say this is restrictive, We have used this method on 600 + HP cars.

Next we build in the intercooler piping, It is 2.5" Aluminum . Aluminum is not only very light but helps disapate heat lke a radiator. We bead roll the ends and use 4 ply silicone connectors to prevent pipes blowing off.
The customer wanted the pipes polished and a greddy BOV which you will see later.

Could you please explain why you didn't use the typical hole on the outer side of the frame rail for the IC piping? Piping & DP look great!
