Alright is there anyway you can tell if a 96 Honda DEL SOL is a Vtec or non V-tec, just by looking at the body or outside of the car?

spell vtec right and you might get an answer

 

you have a phone company in your car ? vtech or vtec ?

 

open the hood and look at the valve cover. i know most del sol s comes with hub cap and and si comes with alloy.

if i put a vtec valve cover on a d16y7 will it have vtec ? NO you have to look at the top right corner of the valve cover and look for a selenoid sticking out of there

 

are u asking if its the vtec model or just a model with vtec?

If it is a del sol with vtec but not necessarily the "vtec" model

will have rear disk brakes, power mirrors, rear sway bar.

 

checking the solenoid like the above member said and for future reference it's

VTEC

not

V-Tec
Vtech

.

I feel bad when this happens.

Ehh.... Thats your top LEFT corner, bro.

 

LEARN HOW TO SPELL VTEC!!! ITS NOT VTECH

 

first off u cant put a sohc vtec valve cover on a non-vtec motor because of the holes for the spark plugs are not the same and the si and vtec models both came with alloys, 4wheel disk brakes and rear sway bar. and eg2 is just a body code for its a del sol

 

or you could just look at which side of the valve cover has the spark plugs.

spark plugs in front by exhaust manifold=vtec
spark plugs in back by intake manifold=non vtec
and if theyre in the middle= its a b16a3 and yes thats vtec too

and if you want to get technical... the del sol s came with the non-vtec single cams, the del sol si's had single cam vtec's in them (the z6 and i believe there was another, perhaps the 8?), and the actual del sol VTEC came with the b16a3 dohc vtec

 

^that is not true
d16y7 in the 96-97 del sol S has plugs in the front, just like the y8.

 

All del sols with the Vtec have a tach that goes up to 9???

not the del sol si (which has vtec...but isnt a "del sol vtec" (vtec is the model)

eg2 = Del Sol VTEC (DOHC VTEC b16a3)

eh6 = Del Sol SI (SOHC VTEC d16z6 93-95, SOHC VTEC d16y8 96-97)

from the outside the easiest way to tell is to see if it has 4 wheel disc brakes, the Del Sol S has rear drums. (unless modified by the owner) i believe this is true for all years but i may be wrong.

 

just look at the tach....the VTEC model has it at 8200 RPM, will have disk brakes and much more easily notice will have a rear anti-roll bar (13mm)

It will also have a VTEC DOHC sticker on the upper right corner of the trunk lid.

true but how can u tell dif btween eg2 and eh6?
btw to add eg1= Del Sol S (SOHC nonVTEC)

 

....you look at the windshield, driver's side corner and read the vin.

exactly.

 

the DOHC VTEC model will either rev to 8200 (94-95) or to 8000 (96-97)

 

This *****' so confusing, the Del Sol Vtec has the Vtec right? BUt the Del Sol Si doesn't?
