ok i baught this car to rebuild and "sup" up but i need to know wut type of engine this is. i was told single cam v tec but i really dont agree. can anybody help me please?

 

I think it's a D16Y8. Which is a VTEC motor.

What does it say on the engine block?? Its stamped on the little sqare part to the left of the exhaust mani.

Is that a civic EX?

 

oh thnks. i dont have the car with me but ill check back on that. and its a 93 del sol.
hte first time i saw it, it didnt seem to me like a v tec.

 

Oh crap!!

It's a del sol Si. with a SOHC D16Z6. It is in fact a VTEC motor. GREAT AND FUN CAR!! I have one

 

I'm not 100% but since it is in a sol I would say it a d15 Non Vtec unless the person who u baught it from did a y8 swap because from 92-95 the vauvle covers said VTEC

 

yea i dont know about the space inside because im pretty tall and stuff but im in the process of buying it and redoing everything. their pretty kool little cars. cant wait to start on it. it needs a new camshaft and thats bout it.

He has an SI. He has cruise control which was only on the Si in 93 Which tells me he has a D16Z6. I bet you have rear disk brakes too huh? I know my del sols man. I'm a member of team sol. Case closed.

 

yea ill find out when i look at the block but it seems more like a d16 but it doesnt have the vtec cover so thats why i questioned it

 

Do you see a vtec solenoid? I don't...

 

Bejita is right. i does have cruise contrlo. good call man

 

sorry

Dude...You can barely see it under the blue valve cover tube. I know my del sols'. He has a D16Z6.

 

BTW....Where is your oil dipstick?? It's not in the pic.

 

Alright you convinced me. Lol. If its under the blue breather I think I see it very slightly

maybe you right but the intakemanifold dosenot look like a z6 at all

 

thats why I think it is a y8 if it is vtec

 

Thats what made me think Y8 too at first but someone might have replaced the intake......hmmmmmmm

Let us know what the block says.

ya, let us know when u see the car next

 

i think its a Y8 because my ex 97 looks exactly like that and you really wouldnt be able to see the solenoid from the picture..........yep its a single cam Vtec.....

 

Either way...Great motor. One of the previous owners may have done a swap. But it is an Si.

yep great motor!

 

It can be either or, d16z6 with a y8 intake, or a complete y8 swap with an older style valve cover. Those are the only two sohc motors that have the spark plugs facing forwards, other then the d16y7 which is the 96-98 sohc non vtec motor but the intake on those is different and I really doubt anyone did a y7 swap and also swapped the intake and exhaust manifolds into a delsol.

 

That's a y8 for sure. Someone else noticed...

"wheres the dip stick?"

y series motors have them by the timing cover.The intake manifold is from a y8 but thats a 92-95 valve cover and they can be swapped.

The valve cover is off a 96-00 because the 92-95 non vtec valve cover spark plugs are facing to the back of the motor.

the 92-95 d16z6 valve covers didn't say vtec on them and they are vtec.
