del Sol VTEC motors are stamped "B16A3"
99-00 Civic Si are stamped "B16A2"
all JDM imports are stamped "B16A"
as for how many there are....not many...

ok so a B16a3 motor is a USDM motor.... hhuumm b/c the car was 100% stock but came w/ a jdm valve cover.... so how much power does the b16a3 motor come stock w/? and also i was under the impression that the true B16 del sols are rare and they only make like 1,000 of them. But that was just word of mouth!

a real del sol vtec with original engine is pretty rare. If there were many of them it would be easy to find one at a salvage yard....
helll total production on ALL Del Sols was less than 75,000 as well. I would be willing to bet around 10-15 percent of those cars are DOHC VTEC cars, meaning 7500-10000 of them in total production at best.

Incorrect. They made Del Sol VTECs every year except 93
I've seen a decent amount in my area as well

Yes.
The base Del Sol had a D15B8
The Si Del Sol had a D16z6
and the "Del Sol VTEC" came with a B16A3, B16A2 depending on whether it was OBD1 or 2

Re: (SkoundrelUSA)
they're decently hard to find, a quick search of the classifieds proves that, they're not collector item rare though. The number I've always heard was 1 out of every 100 sol produced was a VTEC, you see a lot more SI's and S's.

Re: (jdmjeff)
as you guys know, i just have to chime in for this one...
93-97 Del Sol's:
<u>93-95 Del Sol's</u>:
Del Sol S - D15B7 SOHC non-VTEC 102hp 98lbs/ft tq
Del Sol Si - D16Z6 SOHC VTEC 125hp 106lbs/ft tq
94-95 Del Sol VTEC - B16A3 DOHC VTEC 160hp 111lbs/ft tq
<u>96-97 Del Sol's</u>:
Del Sol S - D16Y7 SOHC non-VTEC 106hp 103lbs/ft tq
Del Sol Si - D16Y8 SOHC VTEC 127hp 107lbs/ft tq
Del Sol VTEC - B16A2 DOHC VTEC 160hp 111lbs/ft tq
Yes, the B16A2 was equipped in the 99-00 Civic Si, but it was also equipped in the 96-97 Del Sol VTEC. the difference between the two is OBD2<FONT COLOR="red">a</FONT>/<FONT COLOR="blue">b</FONT>. you guys should know which one is OBD2a and OBD2b (common sense).
only the 94-95 Del Sol VTEC's were equipped with the B16A3.
difference between the A3 and A2, the B16A3 is OBD1.
as for how many were made when they were in production, i don't know the numbers, but there weren't many. there should be plenty of threads that you should've searched that had the answer to that question.
93-97 Del Sol's:
<u>93-95 Del Sol's</u>:
