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!

 

del sol s SOHC non vtec 1.6 106hp
del sol si SOHC VTEC 127 HP D15yz, changed to D16y8 in 1996 and 1997
del sol VTEC made in 1994-1997 B16A2 160hp

 

check to see if the sunroof seal kit was ever done, early del's 93-95 had a problem with leaky roof's. the update kit is like $400

 

Is a del sol vtec with the b16 in it a hard car to find, and how do i tell when the vtec engages. Thanks

 

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....

 

actually the older del sol si's have the d16z6 sohc vtec, same as 92-95 ex/si civics

 

the 93-95 S. have 96 HP, sohc non vtec

 

Wrongo, 93 -95 S have the D15B7 1.5L 102 hp motor, same as the Civic DX.
