I have a 93 del Sol and the engine had been replaced before i got it. I don't know for sure what engine it is but the guy said it's just a normal 1.5 liter non-vtec. but, whenever i accelerate quickly i notice that there seems to be some kinda of a small boost at certain times. i read that vtecs have a boost at around 4000 rpms. i tested my car and no matter what gear i'm in, every single time i hit 4000 rpms (right on the line), it does the boost. it's not real powerful or anything and if it is a vtec, it's probably the lowest one there is. is my engine a vtec? oh, and there is no vtec symbol on the valve cover. and it is an sohc.

 

you have d16z6

 

No, your car doesn't have vtec. The boost your feeling is your butt dyno, don't listen to it.

 

hey thanks. so that's what, the SI engine then? hmm...then could my del sol possibly be the SI model? how can i tell?

is anybody even looking at this thread anymore? can anybody please tell me what engine this is?:

 

Well its deff not a d16z6 motor....

Im willing to bet that its a d15 motor. The guy who sold you the car is telling you the truth. But to be exactly sure, look at the front of the block. To the left of the exhaust header, there will be an ingraving on the block. That will tell you what motor it is.

HERE:

 

thanks so much for your help.

 

no problem.. im bored and dont feel like being a dick

but since you're new, before asking a question, do a search. It will help you out alot trust me

 

d15b7

it says right on the block what kind of engine it is, just go look at it

 

and him^

I think you mean 3...the hood is orange lol.

 

d15 spark plugs are on the back.

on a d16 spark plugs are on the front.

mine does that too, its because all your power...what little bit there is...is in the top end 4k rpms and up.

 

I bet that car has a ginormous body kit on it.
