Oops! Forgot. I looked at the pics and it also appears it has an aftermarket exaust tip that's like 3 inches wide. plus it looks like a little body work too. like extra plastics in some places.

Best thing to know is almost any car that doesnt have a turbo can be turboed, just not all cars have a complete kit for your certain engine but the b20 definaltely does, Turbo-Kits.com 93 - 97 Honda Del Sol S, SI, VTEC Turbo Kit and as for the deal, i just bought a 97 si and i love it! its all about looking at the major tuneups and where the swap was done because if u get stuck with a crappy backyard swap, someone might be needing a new engine

Guess this is the right place to ask this.. I have a 1993 del sol SI, with a d16z6 engine. Im starting to save up for my engine swap in the future, and im wondering if i should go h22a from a prelude, or b16a engine from a Sir. I know the h22 has about 40 more HP. But would it be that hard to swap? i know its not made for my car, and i would probly need a new tranny, externals and a bunch of other fun stuff to replace. So would it be a lot easyer to just go with a b16a and put forged internals with a supercharger?

h22 would be too tall, the oil pan would have to be shaved so your best bet would be the supercharged b16 because in the end u would have saved yourself a head ache and u would also have more horsepower over the h22 stock

The front bumper on my 95 del sol has taken some significant damage over the years and I plan to replace in it the next couple of months. The thing is, I'm not fond of the fog lights. I never use them and I think the 96/97 has a cleaner look to the front end without them. Does anyone know if a bumper from a 96 or 97 will fit on a 95? I'm mostly concerned about the fog lights interfering with the bumper, and that the bolt holes line up. If removing the fog lights allows the bumper to fit, that's fine by me.
