The Honda Del Sol is a Honda that is sometimes very overlooked as a platform, but also seen in a way as a front wheel drive Miata of sorts. Starting it's life as a single cam d series engine, this Honda Del Sol is equipped with a F20B Vtec power plant to a b series transmission! Also known as an F to B swap, it's extremely effective revving out to 8500 RPM with a check engine shift light!. The F20B is similar to the H22 and H23, and I will tell you why this car is a hoot to drive. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Del Sol's are underrated of all the Honda chassis. You share the same engine bay as an EG hatch and you get 2 seats. The interior has things that are still used in the S2k and started in the NSX. Plus you get a full removable targa top starting even from the base S model. In 1994 you got a B16a3! I mean what else do you want, in 97 you got the A2 same as the EM1. 2 seater that fun as hell.
Honda Vlogs : I figured I would find you over here. LOL I still would take an MR2 over a Del Sol.
Put a K in it and you're still in the fam Errol!
Honda Vlogs it is still a fwd tho.
Honda Vlogs : sounds good to me. But I was been a MR2 fan way before K series swap were popular. We're talkin about back in 2004. When I used to work for a car dealership
Lol That's a moot topic. There is B series all motor that broke 9.9 all motor. You can look at the FWD hondas on the Nurburgring that are doing just as good as their RWD counterparts. Between balance and driving, FWD and RWD can be argued forever. Although, i will agree that at the same time the Del Sol launched the MR2 was release and if Honda would of mid-engined the Del Sol in the 90's it would change a lot of things. So, there is the fact I wish the del sol was rwd sometimes.
If you make a light weight, great handling car with the ability to swap in other motors....it's a guys car.
Well said my dude.. totally agree.
I've got a pretty gnarly 97 Del Sol, with a Type R Acura motor. Once I was pulling out of a parking lot with the top down and two guys were walking by. One of these guys says, loud enough for me to hear, "Isn't that a girl car?"
As I'm leaving I see the guy climbing the ladder into his lifted truck. So I stopped and said, "Just for your information, this is a car for a guy whose dick is big enough. What's that truck of yours all about?"
“You drive a Del slow”
HUEHUEHUE
Kidding.
ThatDudeinBlue hey david can you review lowtek's 350z
check him on UA-cam lowtek z33
Yes I actually do drive a delsol in the UK to
DAVID PLZ.
ThatDudeinBlue 4:17 Love those camera POV
you make me proud
I have the 1995 edition, dark green, stock VTEC DOHC, header and Skunk2 pipe. 332,000 original miles, and still kicking ass. An incredible car.
I owned a single cam del sol. I miss that car. Lowering a Del Sol completely changes the look for me. I never gave them a second thought until I saw one lowered. This one looks like it was fun to drive. Crazy Clean for the mile too! Thanks for the video.
David getting more into Hondas now I see nice good shit my man. That sol is so damn clean omg.
David, you should keep that front facing camera that fits on the side window while you’re doing a face cam. It look awesome @ 4:10 because it gives us Your perspective view of the front too. Not just the passing 🌲
After being a previous del Sol owner I can say that it's a fun little car. I was lucky enough to own the DOHC VTEC model
I love these types of car reviews! Keep 'em up David!
I like all of the Honda content you’ve been doing lately! keep it coming. I live in Fredericksburg VA and I’ve been watching your videos since you were living in Richmond
Tyler Simms va gang 🤟🏾🤟🏾
I'm so stocked to see you David enjoying Honda life. As a mustang/240sx owner, I never ever tought that I would see you one day play with them Honda. Love it :)
F2b and h2b setups are bad ass man.. they put down power really well..then pairing that engine with that b series trans turns it to another beast! Dope
do you know what's involved for doing this setup in a del sol if i already have a b16? i would basically need motor mounts, an h to b kit right? what about axles would i use the b16 or f20b? is welding involved?
This rekindled my desire to buy a clean Del Sol.
love the del sol, such an underrated car. great video david
Yeeees i just bought a del sol 6 months ago so im very happy to see your thoughts
I have same year, same color, D16y8 still in it running strong- sneaking up on 200,000 now.
The chasis and rear suspension look literally untouched. I was surprised when I went to do the brakes. Otherwise I never took the rear wheels off before. lol
It seems like it will run forever. Just gotta adjust valve lash once in a while and change fluids. Replaced exhaust, axles and intake, otherwise all original parts. Plan on upgrading suspension this summer and maybe port if I have time. Original wheels are actually the lightest wheels I could find. No need to change.
Everyone tries to race me and most get beat up. They don't realize I deleted everything for HP and weight. heh
The Vtec surprises them. They probably think it's boosted. Probably only 120hp or so, but it's light and well-maintained. Every little thing counts. Even the driver. That's why I see WRXs and BMWs in my rear view all day. :)
Yeah no, these cars are great and all but you aren’t beating a wrx and BMWs. They didn’t know you were even racing 😂
I've owned my Del Sol for about half a week now and I already drove 500 kilometers in it and I absolutely love it, I fell in love with it when I saw it for the first time when looking at it and the previous owner opened up his garage and every morning I see it in my driveway it's butterflies all over again
OMG!!! lol I have the same car 1997 honda del sol cypress green! I have the si though so it has the d16 in it and I'm actually about to get a turbo kit for it. I just got finished with a bottom end budget rebuild H- Beam rods ycp vitara low compression pistons. I love the car so glad to see this video!
Freakin love the intro you made for this car. Great music and cinematography combination!
I'm so glad you finally did a Del Sol 😍😍
The statement of the 240sx about it being a women's car is true when the car was first released. Around 3/4 of the original 240 owners were well-educated women. Mine was owned by mulitple women iirc
I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS OMG
This car is pure Honda sound and I love it the del sol has always been my favorite and will always be.
That's nothing. We have an original 560k mile 1993 Accord sedan at my dealership. It's been serviced by our Honda every service of its life. We use it as an example of how well your car will last when you bring it to Honda master service mechanics
Huh. Must be nice having Honda service tech money. Took my buddies Fit to the dealer to pay him back and ended up paying a $68 oil change
@@jacobwebb8818 that’s cheap
@@jpc3874 I can do my own with quality oil and filter for $30 I don't see how it's cheap personally. I also posted that before this huge oil crisis thing going on
I own a 94 accord 5sp with 425k miles on all factory
Love the del sols so much I was with my friend and she bought one for herself it’s slammed and everything fun ass car to drive! Can’t wait to get me one someday ☺️
I've always loved the look of smaller cars. Lightweight for the most part so power isn't the worst of concerns.
Loving all the HONDA content!
I'm really not a Honda fan but I absolutely LOVE my Del Sol two seats targa top super fun to drive like he said
K23Turbo I know right
That’s a badass car and I really liked that view of the second camera at 4.20 please use that more🙏
I love all Hondas. A lot of these Del Sol’s got riced the hell out of though but are great cars. I think of it as a FWD MX5.
I have a 97 and its ALL ORIGINAL.....its a unicorn
I love the intros David, wouldn’t mind seeing a little more of it❤️
I had a 89' CRX-Si. Bought from new (yes I am old). It had approximately 310K miles on the original engine before I bought a 02' WRX and sold it. I love my WRX but I sure miss my CRX.
It sounds very nice, I like it, awesome review of course!
My dad has a 97 stock del sol with the stock b16 vtec
I miss my old b16 del sol. Such a fun car to drive.
Yay!!! Awesome video on a Del Sol!!!
I have a 97....took off the muffler put on a straight pipe...my neighbors love me!
I love it very good my boy keep up and love video 💯
Hoonigan's Climbkhana played as an advertisement. Longest ad i didn't skip
He has the best year delsol. The absence of the circle headlights just completes the car amazingly.
I just got one like a second ago I cant wait to drive it tomorrow!
Love a Del Sol, wouldn’t own one but I appreciate seeing one once in a while. Buddy in hs swapped a b18c into it. ITB’s, lopey cams. Thing was siick
Man it sounds amazing!!
I'm over here impressed that my 02 chevy 5.3 is going strong with 282k on the stock motor. That thing looks amazing for that many miles!!!
The dash cam view while you were on the throttle was a nice touch :)
Quinn Thompson ikr I was like, finallyy
Literally just met the owner of this green del sol last night awesome dude
You know what Ima buy a del solo rn. Brb
F20b is super underrated. Cheapest JDM twin cam.
Josh Crutchley heard they rev higher than the h22a and a little faster
Low_Funxtion they definitely rev higher safely. Also the one with the better setup will be faster. About the builder.
Stock h22a vs stock f20b what y'all think those are my 2 swaps I wanna do in my 94 civic
Sideways G oh shut up .2L isnt much lol
Low_Funxtion I’ve had a h22a civic with a fully built head and a F20b civic with cams. The h22 was fast but it was straight H vs my F20b was f2b. My f2b setup had a b16 trans running a 4.92 final drive from mfactory. Obviously the f2b was faster and actually torqier than the H.
Brings me back to when one of my buddies had a red del sol and made a spoiler for it using a snowboard. Let's just say that car was interesting
My friend was just talking about buying one of these...then this video pops up?? it was meant to be!!
Just bought a 1995 del sol, top leaks, idle surges, fixed exhaust and engine attention. not cheap by any means. I am in SOFLO so it will be fun with top off. Original stereo broke, parts are hard to find. I had a 1996 Accord died at 478,000 miles. This is more a toy vehicle. I am 75 and wonder why so many people recognize this vehicle. This is car heaven on luxury vehicles yet a new Bentley convertible driver talked to me about the del sol when he was in the most beautiful car in SOFLO. Never know down here. I am hoping to get better gas mileage after fixing idle problem, red lights kill ya down here. Decent on highway but not great. I am trying my best to get it fixed up. All in all its a project but Hondas last forever, 287,000 miles on this one. Top going in trunk 2moro with boom box in back seat and A1A drive after Mass! Enjoy nice video thx DC
I have the same swap in my integra. F2B with type R trans. Stage 3 with 6 puck clutch. Nice little swap.
Got a green 94 and 95 both manual and they are fun as hell! Plus 30+ mpg on the hwy
Happy to see this as a sol owner
My 2000 Accord coupe has over 400,000 on the original F23A1/5 speed.
MavDude Sold my 99 with 270k. I miss that car. Needed a new starter when I sold it but everything else was in really great shape!
I am so jealous of you David I love the Honda del Sol fun car to drive
My dad years ago used to have a modified bright orange Del Sol and I used to love it when he picked me in it in Pre-K, 😂 good times.
VTEC @ 3:27, 5:27, 6:27
Sam Jones thank you
All 27's
You forgot 2:35
Alright I now need to Hswap my 93 del sol now haha
In future videos I think you should have a camera setup on the gauges.. myself and a lot of other people would like to see that aspect. Just like you show a small little window of video from the dash on the road ahead. Do the same for the tac and speedo when you do pulls..
Hilly Bob thats illegal
And film himself speeding? Don’t you think there is a reason people don’t do that 🙄
i just bought a 95 del sol like 3 weeks ago i love it
Ayyee nice to watch this vid. My first car was a Honda del sol
Next week's video, "I bought another honda!" Then the week after that, "Baltic blue del sol!" Haha love you man.
Plz do a review of a Honda prelude I’ve been waiting for you to do one for so long
Sounds amazing!
It looks like a super fun car to drive around.
I had a D16 si for 28 years never had a problem sold it 3 years ago and miss it always 😢
A del sol! Thank you! Also I've been listening to that song recently lol
I love my delsol, need to post video here of it more 😢
Just baught me a stock 93 1.6l si del sol,can’t wait to mod it out
my auntie had one of those in like a candy blue sort of color back in the day and i thought it was the coolest thing ever lol
I have a B18C in my Del Sol. Aside from the common Problems with the old seals it´s a blast ;)
I got a 430,000 mile 99 Mustang that's mostly original. I'm so glad I'm not the only the keeps cars forever.
You should do an Turbo 1zz Mr2 spyder or a 2zz swap! Great video BTW!
I see a DDJ-SB in the background. Very nice!!!
I used to have one, great cars. The targa is much better than a convertible imo. Australian Del Sol's only came with the B16 engine too I believe!
Hey I love everything about it even that raspiness comes out the exhaust my car is loud AF it straight piped b16a2
This was such a fun video, i felt like i was in the passenger seat!
I have an 05 CTS-V that you can review. Wouldn't mind making the trip down from MA.
I have to go to work so I’ll watch later but THREE DAYS AGO I JUST BOUGHT AN F20B swap!!!!!
Hope he says it’s sick it’s about to be mine 😂
Awe yeah it was awesome. Love my del sol
I love my Del Sol and I’ll never get rid of it!!
Screech in every shift! Love sleepers.
You should review juniorn316/ sleepers turbo Regal GS. That would be so different and interesting. I feel you would have a lot of fun with it David.
I have the same set up in a 93... love it
I like all those Grip Royal plugs, my man wants that free steering wheel 😎
Good review. I want one.
I just got a del Sol for a set of ek hatch clear taillights that were worth 300 bucks .can't wait to rip it .
love the crx del sol, ive got a 1993 sir, b16a, it so much fun, baawwaaaaa
Makes me wanna speed up progress on my f22tob ek hatch
aye i got dem bronze konig heliums too its pretty sick quality for money. looks good i put on my green car too its nice look.
I honestly wanna own a Del Sol. Idk what I would do with it project wise but I want one
I LOVE THE DEL SOL AH!!

Soon this is going to be @CHRISFIX del sol on your channel 👍
Still gonna love my TT z32. Wish you could review it but I'm in Missouri
Mo is the happening place
It's very nice. I like!
The VTEC is strong with that Sol!
I owned an SI model and it was a great car.
4:44 Build to last. That is fact, they built it to last nearly forever. So good is the engineering that the only determining factor when to no longer own it is when the paint wears off as that is a major item that many feel they should not spend on a old car. However I truly believe it is worth it from the future savings it will provide having a car that no longer depreciates and known to be near indestructible.
4:48 Best advise. Not modifying your Honda is one you will not regret in the future as it keeps all the qualities you may not appreciate now but certainly will in the future when your friends cars are falling apart due to their mods and cannot find the same part anymore to fix it or cannot diagnose the problems etc.
Looks fun to drive
