1995 vtec del sol - what engine do I have?
Im 17 and I just purchased a 1995 honda del sol but i dont know much about it or cars in general for that matter. I was hoping somebody could tell me how i can find out if my engine is the JDM model or whether it's a b16a1 etc...
anything you have to say about the honda del sol that can give me a little knowledge or a tad bit more capability would be appreciated beyond belief. Thanks alot.

In 1995 the del sol vtec came with a b16a3, del sol si came with a d16z6 and the del sol s came with a d15b7.
The b16a3 with say "DOHC VTEC" on the valve cover, the other two are single cam engines.

I'm almost positive you have an SI model.
Open the hood, look to the left of the exhaust manifold. It has a stamping of the engine....for example D16Z6 or B16A3

gold: thank you so much for the help. What does that mean in terms of respect\power\quality? because from my research i see that most people adore the JDM models.

Re: 1995 vtec del sol - what engine do I have?
there is a lot of misleading terms when it comes to the del sol. as mentioned above there are three trim levels: s, si, vtec. THe confusion is that the si does have a vtec engine but its the sohc vtec.
OP, sounds like you have a 95 del sol si (not vtec trim). with the d16z6 sohc vtec engine. good info from power ranger

Re: 1995 vtec del sol - what engine do I have?
It's got 145k miles on it, should that deter me from putting a turbo on it? im young and in need of more power!!! it's slow and unsatisfying right now. Suggestions anybody?

I love this car but i dont think i have the money for an engine swap. I cant put a turbo on my current engine though so it would come out to like 3500$ to turbo it because i'd need a new engine. TIme to look at new cars maybe :/
