Default How many Del Sol VTEC's....

I was wondering.. The Del Sol VTEC's are sort-of hard to find... So I was wondering does anyone have any idea how many were made?

-Thanks.

1994 - 21,075
1995 - 14,021
1996 - 8,489

well exclude 1993 because there wasn't a VTEC model made that.
start from 94-97. supposing they made equal amounts of all models, divide it by three.

94 - 7,025
95 - 4,673
96 - 2,829
97 - 1,867

just a guestimate until somebody knows the real answer.

Eh, I don't think they made equal amounts so it could be less than 10000..

Well, thanks for your help I got the answer I was lookin' for!

That's not a lot of del Sol's compared to let's say Civic's... that amount is really low actually. Crazy.

When you say VTEC'S, you are referring to the DOHC model n not the Si, right ? I saw on one of your posts that you believed that the same year Civic Si had the same motor as the Del Sol VTEC, they do not. The DOHC model is the rarest Del Sol model.

Yes they do, in 96-97 Del Sol VTEC they came with a B16A2 which is the same as the 99-00 SI.

50% sold had the d16
41% had the non vtec
only 9% had the b16

So yea there harder to find, but you can easily swap one into your car, the proplem tho is you have to get the shift linkage from a vtec sol unless you want to cut and weld one from a civic to work There shaped differently and shorter then the civics. Theres a pic of all the different ones on here somewhere.

I have a d16z6 in my sol, and sols are hard to find in my area so i picked her up when i found her. A 95 with 80k good shape, few specs of rust (Wisconsin winters suck ***!).

You are correct sir but only in the 94-95 then in 96-97 they did come with a B16A2

I've heard this figure before, and I think it's accurate. They are indeed a rare bird, like it or not.

Cool cars

Where did you find these numbers? Dealer told me it was closer to 1% of all Del Sol's.
