Default Del Sol Engines

Im looking for a del sol and i was just wondering how they changed from 93 to 97. What were the engine codes in the different models? Is there anything i should be aware of when looking for a del sol? Thanks for any input!

I believe the 94-95 DOHC Vtec Del Sol's were B16A3
and the 96-97 DOHC Vtec's were B16A2

94-95 DOHC Vtec's are easier to find then 96-97 DOHC Vtec's..
On the DOHC Vtec, Vtec kicks in at 5500 rpm's, and you will know and you will hear it, especially if you have in intake....
