I lost my timing belt on my b16 crx reving at 8200, I pulled the head and not one bent valve. This was 15 years ago, and I was dead broke, I couldn't even afford a new head gasket. Amazing luck.
Even if they bend, they tend to bend back hitting the valveseats. If youre on a bidget just adjust the valves (free) and run-er.
@Nobody Noone I didn't even adjust the valves, new headgasket, and off I went. Now, today, I have no idea where that motor ended up, but I wish I still had it.
hell yeah bro, i wanna see a build with it!! Thanks for saving it, didnt wanna put any work into it.
Thanks for selling to me I will be sure to do something cool with it!
@@HunterTuned this was the first honda I seen built back in high-school I was in 9th grade and it was built by a senior wat a beautiful chick not to mention the car nitrous powered b16 wish I had that car that car was wat got me into Hondas
you should do a channel for basic maintenance on your mr2
Man, I've never owned a Del Sol, but I've seen some nice high horsepower units. I have only ever driven one, and it was a B16 Si 5 speed that was REALLY surprising. I was only about 16 at the time, so I didn't know what it was or how rare it was, but it was easy to break the front tires loose in first and second. Edit: You know that I am almost 40 now, so when I was a teenager the B series was the end all be all. The K series didn't come out until I was in my late 20s and they were easily $10k for a stock K20 or K24 until ten years later.
Was it a factory B series? If it’s a B16 that’s a VTEC trim which is superrrrr rare
@@williamgoestenkors6846 Mine is the 1.6 liter, 125 hp, single overhead cam VTEC. It was the more powerful engine that year. I believe it has the D16Z6 factory designation.
@@paco728 92-95 came with the D16Z6, 96-97 has the D16y8. The VTEC trim has the B16A.
@@williamgoestenkors6846proud to own an origanal b16 vtec 94 they are super rare I'm surprised I found one 😆 luck was on my side
@@williamgoestenkors6846 the b16 vtec trim was not rare. lmao. this is the claim because in 1993 there was only an S and SI model, d16y8 and d16z6 respectively. I had a 93 Si which had d16z6. after 93 aka 94-98 the vtec trim was added which had the b16 motor. so more del sols were sold with vtec trim than without. its factually wrong that the b16 version is rare. in truth, most of us back when were broke, and it was cheaper to buy s or si model instead of vtec model.
The way it fired up first crank 😂 This is better condition than my Del Sol (minus the rust). I have p2p0 rods, vitara pistons, king bearings, stock head with arp studs. It’s on a base map, with stock fuel system. I’ll be ordering 1000cc injectors soon! I can’t wait to properly tune mine. Stoked for this build!
These videos are the ones I ABSOLUTELY Love. I've done this same thing . Buying cheap someone else's headache and fixing it quick and cheap for myself. Usually been the best cars/purchases. Anyhow Hunter, it would be really cool if you kept the Sol and turboed it on E-85.
I picked up a 93 Del Sol 1.5l non vtec off my neighbor for $1000 and it has 126K miles on it honestly couldn’t be happier with the thing, runs like a dream
no matter how slow this car, its an
absolute blast to drive. i had a del sol, and im 6'6ft lol
I have one. I purchased it new exactly 30 years ago in December of 92. It's a 93 Black Del Sol Si manual transmission , rear spoiler, 81,000 miles, all original and near perfect rust free condition. Just replaced the timing belt for the first time this past spring based on some advice from another you tuber. My only modification came a few years ago when I put in a new head unit and sub woofer. Fleetwood Mac has never sounded better. Love, love, love the car! Keeping it forever. Have fun with yours, Hunter Tuned.
For $500 not a bad deal!
Del sol is a badass unit.
I’ve owned only one and it was head on’d and totaled by some female. 🤦♂️
Take care of it man! Huge potential with these!
I’m getting my 3rd one in a few days, my wife totaled my 1st one lol so I feel your pain.
Heel yee! I have a Sol too! 93' Samba green 💚 z6 also.. definitely boost it! Especially z6
Be neat to see a budget build on a Honda like this. Single turbo 🙌🏼
95' Si d16z6 here 🔥🔥💯🤙🏻
94' VTEC b16a3 here 😁
95 si d16z6 & a 97 s d16z6 here
“Sounds like it has an exhaust leak, means we gotta fix it with a turbo kit” man had me dead 🤣
I'd like to see this car get boosted as high as you think it can go and still be reliable. Comp Cams makes camshafts for these for like $300-ish bucks. Stage 2 cam needs springs so I think you could do a cool video showing how to install the cam and valve springs via pressurizing air into the spark plug hole. Then no need to pull the cylinder head. Maybe do a fender exit 3" pipe too. Or maybe full 3" back. And fuck yea ice racing! Sounds good.
I have a piece of wire in the top drawer of my toolbox with a hook on the end for timing tension lol
**********DRAIN TUBE ISSUE********** I've own over 20 sols and i'm pretty sure the confined rust holes is because the rear window drain tubes (one each side) are plugged....from years of sediment, dirt, leaves, etc. getting in. This seems obvious because there is no rust anywhere else on the rear wheel wells. I had the same problem with one of my sols. Fortunately, there is a detailed youtube video showing how to easily unplug the tubes - from underneath (plastic rocker panels come off) - so you don't have to laborously remove the rear compartment from the inside. I would try that underneath approach first. Also, I don't suggest repairing the infected rust holes until the water leak issue is fixed.
Huntertuned you are the man for saving the sol. I own one and the cars are a blast. Definitely one of Hondas most underrated. #Savethesol
See we need more people like hunter 😅 Sol life is better than people think. Hurts to see people crush sols with same problems
Im with you 100% on bringing old Hondas back to life that people have already given up on. That's how I got my EM!. Sat in a yard for 2 years with no windshield. Perfectly good b16a3 with an s80. Traded a 00 Sedan for it.
Rust gets there because the top leaks and it drips down behind the seats and gets down to the skirts.
I say make that desol special! It would be a good video series! Can't be the price especially with such an easy fix! I have run a single cam with the balance shafts 180 degree out hell of a noise when u shut it off but ran fine. I fixed when I had a day off. Killer thumbnail!!! Keep pushing
I really hope you had another door in your garage open while that car was running, my coworkers love to start cars with the door closed and it hurts to see
Del sol was my first car. Thanks for saving this classic. My favorite car to see on the road!
The Bosch 2200cc injectors on your website. Do I need to buy the tophats to put them onto one of your fuel rails for a b series.
Yes Tophats are required for b series
@@HunterTunedThank you man, gonna buy a fuel rail, tophats, pins, and injectors:)
The rear window has drain plugs on each side that get plugged. Water collects and causes that rust behind the doors. Dropping denture cleaner tablets on each side through the window slit will eat out the gunk plugging the drains and open them again preventing that problem.
Thanks for saving this car, i paid 1100.00 for mine and was sitting for years after a ricer rode it to to ground. Spent most of the time de ricing it, until i realised at one time the suspension, engine and headers were rebuilt. Was gonna rot if it wasnt bought. Still my car after 6 years.
Bought my 93 del Sol for $500 runs and drives just a few cosmetics and control arms later and all set, planning on putting a turbo in it this summer once my work picks up
This is Classic HUNTERTUNED style.
You might as well shove a little Turbo and do another Home Build.
true, I miss the banter with the Bois
Nice score!
I'd adjust those valves tho.
Gotta love a Z6. I've had 4 Del Sols, the daily took me 303k miles. Body rust and after being hit 7 times, I pulled the drivetrain and put it in an automatic Del shell. My neighbor is still driving it, so I don't know how many miles are on it now. I even had the timing belt break after 20k miles. Put a new timing kit in, and put another 30k miles on it. New Sub.
Hunter, PLEASE put an eBay turbo kit on this Z6. I bought my 1997 EJ8 Civic coupe, but it was freshly rebuilt and ran like crap. It was supposed to be a freshly rebuilt D16Y8, but it had a JDM D15B 3 stage VTEC with a D16Y7 head (because the original owner of the D15B swapped the head onto a non-VTEC block and sold it to this 19 year old kid as a legit VTEC engine). I swapped a Z6 head onto it and I bought an eBay turbo kit, and fabricated everything else for it.
That started wayyy to fast lol.
What an absolute unit
Didn’t think these type of deals still existed post Covid. This a score.
I just fired up my 83 Toyota today in -16 Celsius, which it warm compared to the average minus 30 we’ve been getting. Slapped a new battery in and Jesus she’s knocking like a jehovas witness, drove it out of a foot of snow ice cold hahaha
i bought mine for $150, the guy thought the engine was dead but it was just a broken belt, apart from a few scratches and dents on the body the car is in mint condition, even the ac works lol
Awesome find! I had 5 speed '93 Honda Prelude ten years ago. I miss it 😭 Honda made some solid quality stuff back in those days
They rust out in that spot because they have clogged up or busted water channels that keep the water in the body.so water just collects and rust forms.
I love Del Sols, they are such unique little cars. Thanks for saving this one.
Honestly pretty clean interior for a del sol. Plus about 200 for those seats another 200 off 😅. I wish Florida had one for 500 🤣 all our part out del sols run around 1k. Love the video tho brother
Great job hunter. I would love to see a rescue and drive home video like VGG... but on old Hondas. Keep up the great work!!!
Nice pick up dude can't wait to see more on del sol
Turbo ice car! You are in a unique place to make cool winter lake car videos. Not many others on YT have s big frozen lake to rip.
Dam reminds me how i crashed my 95 b16a swapped del sol
Eagle Vitara build with a hx35 turbo or something like that Budget turbo builds always get them excited 😊
I bought a broke down EF sedan off some lady years ago I changed the fuel filter put gas changed the igniter & drove it home I gave her $100 dollar bill and asked for $10 for gas lol and she gave me a 10 😂 I it drove almost 50 miles home with zero issues
Also are you going to sort the rust out? I like the idea of a Vitara turbo build... old school cool!
Best thumbnail yet!
keep the single cam content coming guy let's goo 💪💪
Share some more indept tuning tutorial when your doing e85 on it
Heck yea. I would pull those side moldings off cut out the rust and put in some new sheet metal. As nice as the rest of the car is an the underneath is that's a fixer. Maybe pull the tail light and see if you can pop that dent out do a little bit of clear coat or paint touch up and it'd be a nice car.
Either have a nice little beater car or do a budget turbo setup and drive or sell.
that ground is useless anyway..should be mounted to ps pump bracket which is obv gone..doesnt make a good ground thru the rubber gasket and grommets on valve cover...just saying...sweet buy tho
i love those single slammers
I'd say get rod bearings and valve adjustment it is possible the car can be running somewhat okay even after timing belt has come off on a interface engine a valve can be slightly bent on the valve guides are not aligned, funny because this happen to me in a 500 98 civic sedan aha and I did the same thing although the head on mind I know has a bad Valve I've been driving like that for over a year
Man I love del sols! Especially when you get a great deal! I bought a samba del sol for 300 bucks and it had a d16z6 also and I fixed it sold the engine and bought ls block and gsr head and everything was going great until the oil pump I bought for it was defective and it starved the oil in it and blew a rod right through the block. Ever since the. It’s been hard to get a good la block and I ended up buying an h23a motor and that’s my next project so hopefully a del sol with an h23 vtec will be fun
Oh my god, it has a clock in the gauge cluster! I don't understand why Honda had only a clock in the radios on the EK's-and those sucked.
This happened to me on my em2 and I had to remake the threads with a Heli coil for the autozone specials tensioner was horrible when i pulled the pin it didn't make tension and I had to redo the whole thing lol
Hell yeah dude fired right up!! Don't forget to fix that hanging exhaust flange gasket by the muffler too. That thing is rad!
i say def turbo it..id watch it and sure the whole d series community would love it
This was exciting as hell to watch!
366k miles is super cool
My first Honda was a 95 delsol si man I miss that car
This was an era when Honda used to make quality cars.
Encountered this randomly and subscribed.
I’ve always wanted a mugen white del sol. You got lucky man.
You gotta build it! Turbo Time…Stu Stu stuuuu!
corner light breaking free is super common. mine did that back in the day and i just hot glued it back on lmao. quarter panel rust is common too. super common. lmao. my top leaked as well but i never fixed it. i wanted to buy new rubber but before i had a chance the engine blew and i ended up just junking the car for 500 and bought a s2000.... those taillights are ugly as shit. please go oem or oem adjacent. please! lmao. those del sol phat 5's are legit. I would get them resurfaced with some quality michelin all season tires and enjoy the fuck out of them. no need for aftermarket those things are light weight as is.... the quarter panel rust, comes from trunk leaking. and pools up at the bottom thus rust at the bottom quarter panel.... again super common.
Damn bro, 5 bills and fixed. Such a win. Congratulations brother!
would've been better with a test drive. I wanted tp see you have fun with it!
My buddy has a 500+ hp del sol. That thing is scary fast. I say build it! Then grab an s2k
500 not bad at all I will buy it all day long it's good bro I believe they sale does quater panel on website I have to buy one for my DA and its cheap now back in the days was more expensive then now at least on that 😅
If you want to sell those center caps for the wheels lmk, my brothers needs them. Loved the video!
Woooo!!! Awesome, I had a hunch it would be a timing issue, glad to see the car up and running man. 🤙
Get a can of spray foam and fill up those holes then just use an exacto knife and trim the excess to match the body of the car. Then if you want to get real ambitious get some thin metal from Home Depot use tin snips to cut a couple pieces to cover over the foam rivet them on and a couple coats of black spray paint.
That will just trap moisture and make it rot faster. Please don't do this. Same goes for aluminum rivets.
I think a video of you pushing that stock Z6 to 300hp will do pretty well, the Honda world will loose there shit lol D series community as well.
I'll have to drag my D16Z6 Del Sol from MN there some day. Has 275K on her
freakin love these start to finish videos like this man. old school huntertuned videos :)
AAAA So nice! Mine was around 750 USD exchanged runing and driving, how to say nicely, mine was a bit unsafe, but runing and driving. :). :)
It’s cool saving old Honda’s. Thanks for the video
Lucky... I'm Jelly. lol
My Del Sol Needs engine and transmission transmit & other stuff But I Have a Complete Rolling Shell.
My Del Sol is Here on UA-cam. Honda delSol on 20's
it's the Green ish One with a silver Honda emblem in the middle of the windshield
nice winter hat...
Juiced for another ice lake del sol racer for the season
How they rust = Wisconsin
Where they risk = Also Wisconsin
Lol.
21:09 odd, mine idles the same, but if i did that rev, It'll shoot to 3-4k rpms? Odd.
cambelt main relay or capasitors on ecu or dry joints
Brooo i bought one for 500 last month with 123000 miles. Just needed some lights and hood...
Why can’t I find these deals cheapest one to me is a clapped multi colored on with a y8 in it for 1800 🤦🏽♂️
I had a '92 accord that had the belt break at 210,000 miles. While driving down the road
I wonder if he left the crank pulley washer off that holds the belt on.
Oh no the stripped timming belt bolt!
Yessir get it bud! Time for a single cam turbski flipperooni aye? Lol good shit you saved it man. These cars are depleting so quick cause of lack of knowledge or even people not caring to look further into something like you just did.
I have one and I get so many offers to buy it from me more than what I payed for it.
Great find! What a pleasant feeling getting the car running again. BTW great content. Subbed!
I just subscribed to this video so I can watch you build this.
One of my dream cars
😆😆 “I don’t kno what this witch craft is!”
Nice score. I just got myself a turbo b series 93 Del Sol. 🤘🏼
Sol life. Great platform if you like body flex lol. I can say that bc i have one and i love it
Save the Hondas! Awesome find! Guess I have another channel to watch now 😂
the quarter panel, not rear fender...
and most likiely a flood salvage....
If you keep it you should civic front swap it
Video on converting a stock d series to e85 would definitely have my interest
Has anyone ever built an awd Delsol?
I haven’t seen one
we are here
Hi Hunter! (My uncle)Its me McKenna! Mom told me about your channel I like your video! I'm gonna subscribe because I 💓 u I hope I can see you again! Sincerely McKenna
See you tomorrow 😊
