My girl friend is about to purchase a 93' del sol. The guy selling it says that it isn't an Si and I thought no big deal. As I investigated more and more I noticed that the car had alloy 14'' wheels and the tach redlined at 7200 RPMs. The engine itself doesn't say VTEC but I think it is from looking at other 1993 Del sol Sis. They don't say Si or S on the back and I just needed to confirm what it is because if its an Si I'm definatly tellin her to go for it. It the green w/ black interior and the seats have a green stripe down the middle.

like delsolSir said, Delsol s, is a non VTEC engine, while the Delsol Si is the D16z6 which is a SOHC VTEC, and if it is an Si, it will say VTEC on the valve cover.

it's definitely an SI. just look for the engine code and it should read d16z6. also del sol Si and VTEC come with rear disc brakes.
