i got the VIN to my 97 del sol, JHMEH616XVS000778, i was hoping someone could tell me which class it is? s, or si? thanks guys

 

Looks like an Si based on the EH6. My 93 Si has the Eh6 as well.

 

Not sure what an EH6 has in it but, just look under the hood at the front of the motor and tell us what engine is in there and we can tell you the make of your del sol

*edit: If it has the D16Y7 its a Del Sol S, if it is a D16Y8 it's an SI, and a B16A2 is a Del Sol VTEC!

 

it will same the name of the engine on the front of the block?

 

What?

 

how do i tell the difference of a y7 and y8 just by looking at it?

 

Is your Air filter close to the firewall or up by the fender?

 

my brother has a 96, ex and it looks identical to it, so therefor it must be a si, correct? or is it difficult to see the difference between y7, and y8? im new to the tuner game so i cant tell. excuse me for my ignorance

 

Its more than likely the y8 if it looks identical and yes that means it's an Si

 

do u know ne1 way to figure for sure? i can go look if u explain to me what to look for under the hood?

 

Based on the Vehicle Identification Number, this 1997 Honda del Sol Si was number 778 to roll off the production line at Suzuka, Japan. It is a 2 Door Coupe (Manual), Passenger Car, with a 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine. a d16y8 i believe.

 

your fairly posative that information is correct? thank you

 

yeah that's if everything remained stock, i mean some on could have changed the engine or something. eh6=si, and 97 si's had a d16y8 just like the civic ex.

 

if eh6=si then what ='s the s model?
