as someone who has owned and restored over 10 Del Sol's nothing saddens me more than a true vtec Del Sol being used for a swap like this.. nice swap and all, but to everyone watching use an si or s Del Sol for this kind of swap, because the true vtec sols are super rare and command a high premium..
I've recently acquired a 94 del sol vtec b16a3, but I have a built b16a and it hurts my heart that the a3 isn't built. I already had the b16a built before I acquired the del sol. I'm going turbo and it sucks that I'm not gonna have the original a3 in it :(
My buddy had a Del Sol that had an LS in it and it felt shockingly fast do to how light the Del Sol’s are. I could imagine how nice a K20 has to be in one. His is Super clean 👍
Honda Vlogs yes it's true to that.Seen your super car l had this crazy idea;how about doing a rear engine set up in a Honda del Sol like the Toyota MR-2 ???? just a crazy thought but unique.Keep me posted of your super car.
Christian Perez I did check it out.. I'm afraid to sub because the guy in the delsol looks like he is ready for soft porn. and we all know straight porn doesn't pay well, and the nsx is not cheap.
Yeah you can use that... but it still requires a lot of rotation from the steering wheel to make a turn. the best rack to get is a Powered rack from a DC2, or del sol VTEC. I think quife makes a quick turn gear you can buy... but either way.. i still miss power steering a lot. T_T
SleeperHonda hey man sweet build I love what you did with your del sol. I wanted to ask you what tire size you’re running on those 15x8’s? 195 or 205? What wheel/tire setup would you recommend for the same car for daily/street improved handling? My del sol is on stock suspension and I was thinking of going with a 15x7 on 205 50 15? What are your thoughts on that and do you have any other recommendations?
so far my favorite swap in one my Ek hatchback was a H22A4 with stock H trans is so perfect was built Lil bit went 12:90 in quarter mile before tuned after tune I sold it but my 2001 S2000 was bye far my favorite Honda ever there the funniest cars ever I've had del sol and civic coupe eg and Ek and hatchback eg and Ek as well so far tho s2k is the favorite of all
I have fillers and the rear fog haha. I choose to do that since it was an option for the Del Sol. it came with it so use it. looks clean without it as well tho
Christian Perez Ya I'd love to know the exact number made as well as the MI del sol that was specific to one dealer in Germany which also had a MI CRX and others I believe. If you don't know about what versions of these cars I'm talking about you should defiantly look them up in some of your free time. There are some odd Hondas out there but you just kinda have to love them even the mopeds and odd collectables. However with these being my personal favourite for a FWD platform I have done 100's of hours or research to try and find out everything I possibly can about the del sol for my current build.
great vid. guys. but can u tell me if the del sol with the b16 from the em1 is available in europe? im in the same oppinion with the owner from the del sol... about the weight engine... i love the em1 one but i think this del sol is way more fun to drive!!! stay tuned guys u doin great stuff!
Christian Perez Ah ok. You mean the stock del sol vti (eg2) has the same engine like the em1? Cause the em1 is impossible to get here in the europe but da del sol vti is no problem.... is that really the same engine?
You should register it in a CA County that doesn't do bi-annual SMOG tests. Thats what a lot of track racers in CA do. Just register the car in another county using an address from the UPS store/ Mailbox etc. (not a PO box) and have it forwarded to your full time residence. Problem solved.
+Tyler Olsen sols stock 97 vtec. I think at rhd time he had a type r lip color matched and the oem wing. Stock side skirts. It's a 97 so they didn't come with aux lights l.
+Tyler Olsen my sol is a 94 vtec watch my b20 runs video. It should look like mine, if someone removed the stock stuff just find them. Both our Sols are oem panel. Although the k20a does have jdm license plate fillers in the rear
Christian Perez thanks man. i have xtd stage 3 but its bad.. in 1 gear it shakes and you cant drive normal, grabs hard but its not for street every day. now i buy exedy om for k20a2.. i hope it will be fine and soft hehe :)
Christian Perez i have light flywheel.. i have same problem on my ex eg b16a2 model. i buy exedy stage 1 clutch and same problem.. tha i buy normal clutch and change pedal cluth and master cylinder on gearbox and it was perfect..
Yeah I would be down for an EM1 lip. I have a feeling it wont fit on the 97 bumper well. This bumper has pretty limited oem lip options. Either way... i would have to agree with you. I might end up getting a spoon lip or something this summer.
love this video you ricers see this with your slammed out non-sense this is a tuner car a real car take notes people. and for the haters that say oh it's a girl's car I bet they don't even have one.
Very nice Del Sol. However, this thing will probably understeer like a pig on track. The front camber isn't right and the k20 is very far ahead of the front axles. Beautiful car regardless.
And a lot lighter I was like heeey. Delsol97vtec 2522lbs civicsi1999 2612lbs that’s only 90lbs very oz counts but is not a lot lighter they are almost the same

super humble guy, now that's a build that I have respect for.
We need more people like this in the Honda game. Humble, knows all his facts. Car is proper, the cleanest del sol i ever seen
2nd this whole statement 🤝
"Interior is all stock except for everything is JDM." lol
Nice
as someone who has owned and restored over 10 Del Sol's nothing saddens me more than a true vtec Del Sol being used for a swap like this.. nice swap and all, but to everyone watching use an si or s Del Sol for this kind of swap, because the true vtec sols are super rare and command a high premium..
Richard Garza true, I am planning on doing this to my vtec sol, but keeping the oem b16 and slowly rebuilt it.
I've recently acquired a 94 del sol vtec b16a3, but I have a built b16a and it hurts my heart that the a3 isn't built. I already had the b16a built before I acquired the del sol. I'm going turbo and it sucks that I'm not gonna have the original a3 in it :(
Awesome review man! Owner is definitely a true Honda enthusiast!
I believe owner meant the throttle body is cable driven and not drive by wire lol
Amazing work. Super clean, super sick. I love how the K20 just tucks in there, looks so natural.
Thanks man! it totally looks natural, theres more of this car on my channel and more to come this year.
My buddy had a Del Sol that had an LS in it and it felt shockingly fast do to how light the Del Sol’s are. I could imagine how nice a K20 has to be in one. His is Super clean 👍
I just bought a 97 del sol vtec with 84k miles off cl for $ 2k. I love it!
Good deal man. Just got a 95 si fir 2800. 106000mi. Old people owned it. Unreal
A very nice Sol indeed. I love how he's had 3, I'm currently on my 2nd Del Sol hahaha
Love the build,just got me a 93 1.6l si del sol the other day full stock can’t wait to mod mine
I left my tail lights along too. I have a 93 mostly original parts. I have 3 tops, one made of plexiglass , painted black, and one original.
Nice job on the build. I had a '94 DOHC VTEC. Loved that car.
To be honest I like our model more than the '97. I prefer to have the fog lights. I think it makes the car look that much better.
Super clean del Sol,has a fresh JDM look.
respect to the dude with some real honda knowledge
I love it. clean whip, humble owner.
Christian Perez no problem, you deserve it brother. I'm not into Hondas too much but yours is tastefully done👌
wow that's a clean motor display , give this man a trophy for awesome
I got a 96 del sol and I love it. One day it will have a K swap.
PERFECTION.
gorgeous del sol love it! i wish my del sol was this nice holy!
i have one also ... 75k miles.... but your paint and exterior is so perfect! and i miss the k20a ;*< but maybe a supercharger someday
omg, that car is hella sick, just like the way the owner sounds. ;)
Very, very, clean mon!!😄👍🤝
you two need to COLAB more. i follow both of you and you both work well together.
awesome build
Super clean and pretty.
everyone be rockin that aeromotive fpr
Did I see this car at Stockton blvd yesterday
i get what your saying about pick a country but those rear fog looks so sick
that's a beautiful solie. can't wait until I can make mine like that.
amazing super car Honda del Sol.Very amazing car.
It's literally really good, what else can you want. Engine bay that is basically an EG and you get 2 seats and top that comes off.
Honda Vlogs yes it's true to that.Seen your super car l had this crazy idea;how about doing a rear engine set up in a Honda del Sol like the Toyota MR-2 ???? just a crazy thought but unique.Keep me posted of your super car.
Look uo rwd_sol on Instagram your dream exists
Dope Del Sol, and stoked your into A&B legit...samezees lol
cool choice of chassis/motor. well done.
Christian Perez I did check it out.. I'm afraid to sub because the guy in the delsol looks like he is ready for soft porn. and we all know straight porn doesn't pay well, and the nsx is not cheap.
Hope to have my del sol like this some day I made a video of mines on my channel tranformation when I got it out of the junkyard to now with a turbo
Awesome video, awesome car, awesome owner.
Christian Perez subbed!!
That dude & I could have conversation all day long
For sure
couldnt you fabricate an exhaust heat shield as well as wrap the headers so you can add the PS back?
What mount did u use to not cut the hood
thats a nice ass car! nice setup man! are you going forced induction or all motor?
This came out pretty good considering I was super sick! Pulled it off though ;)
you can't just use the manual rack and pinion from like 92-95 civic cx and put it on? those non power rack isn't bad compared to power with no power.
Yeah you can use that... but it still requires a lot of rotation from the steering wheel to make a turn. the best rack to get is a Powered rack from a DC2, or del sol VTEC. I think quife makes a quick turn gear you can buy... but either way.. i still miss power steering a lot. T_T

I was waiting for this del Sol. He mentioned it on Ig
what a beauty
Best looking del sol by far
3:08 JDM EVERYTHING - Even Fukushima radiation? XD
Lmk if you want to review another k sol in the bay
so far my favorite swap in one my Ek hatchback was a H22A4 with stock H trans is so perfect was built Lil bit went 12:90 in quarter mile before tuned after tune I sold it but my 2001 S2000 was bye far my favorite Honda ever there the funniest cars ever I've had del sol and civic coupe eg and Ek and hatchback eg and Ek as well so far tho s2k is the favorite of all
Like to see it run
Wanted to see video of this thing running! lol
LEET SOL!!
I have fillers and the rear fog haha. I choose to do that since it was an option for the Del Sol. it came with it so use it. looks clean without it as well tho
They also made them in 1998 as a special order in the uk
Christian Perez Ya I'd love to know the exact number made as well as the MI del sol that was specific to one dealer in Germany which also had a MI CRX and others I believe.

Mr2 electronic power steering pump. I'm using a karcepts mount for it.
Still have it bro?
Great job. Give me a K20A powered Del Sol over a Honda S2000 any day.
hahaha they're so goooddd! I miss my S2k but man this car rippsss
Could you let me know what exhaust you used.
great vid. guys. but can u tell me if the del sol with the b16 from the em1 is available in europe? im in the same oppinion with the owner from the del sol... about the weight engine... i love the em1 one but i think this del sol is way more fun to drive!!! stay tuned guys u doin great stuff!

lookin tight
That’s fucking Beautiful and clean
car is bad ass
You should register it in a CA County that doesn't do bi-annual SMOG tests. Thats what a lot of track racers in CA do. Just register the car in another county using an address from the UPS store/ Mailbox etc. (not a PO box) and have it forwarded to your full time residence. Problem solved.
Are you still selling this?
Someone help!!!!! What body kit does this have I love the simple lips nothing to crazy. Where do i find this trim?
+Tyler Olsen sols stock 97 vtec. I think at rhd time he had a type r lip color matched and the oem wing. Stock side skirts. It's a 97 so they didn't come with aux lights l.
Honda Vlogs i have a 94 vtec sol and it has no trim at all. Idk if it was removed or if that year didn't have it
+Tyler Olsen my sol is a 94 vtec watch my b20 runs video. It should look like mine, if someone removed the stock stuff just find them. Both our Sols are oem panel. Although the k20a does have jdm license plate fillers in the rear
Honda Vlogs so I do have the side skirts they are just painted. Need to source some mud flaps. Where do you buy the bar that is by the back window?
+Tyler Olsen custom made, a long time ago our friend on the forum made a few sets. We've had them for a long ass time ago.
Bad ass, I've always wanted one of these they are getting harder to find or they are rust bombs
Christian Perez this guy should keep this del sol its getting rare not to mention how clean this build is
hahahahaha i got fillers and a rear fog. i love both 🤣
I've always wanted a😍 Delsol I don't know if I can get rid of my dc5 🤔
This car is perfect. He has my respect on the build. The only thing its missing in my opinion is a supercharger !!!! :)
*looking at $6k+ engine swap.
you: "Don't worry, those Hasport mounts are real"
me: "No shit."
Anybody know the situation for Abs and PAS for a kSwap sol?
Abs delete and electric power steering
But does it leak?
i just bought a 97 del sol i am swapping the same engine into. Any tips?
Get hasport mounts the rest is great, possiblity you might not be able to to have PS so manual steering rack will be good
Honda Vlogs lmao I've never had PS so that's cool. Thanks!
Does the owner want to sell his del sol?
i always like the looks of the del sol. its just the interior design is a bit crap. but i always wanted one. i got a s2k but still want a del sol.
Hmmm. The interiors are kind of the same though..
Honda Vlogs not really. not talking about the materials. but the functionality and looks
+BlueRice ahh, well baby steps to perfection haha. It is a bit clunky
please, what clutch you use?
Christian Perez thanks man. i have xtd stage 3 but its bad.. in 1 gear it shakes and you cant drive normal, grabs hard but its not for street every day. now i buy exedy om for k20a2.. i hope it will be fine and soft hehe :)
Christian Perez i have light flywheel.. i have same problem on my ex eg b16a2 model. i buy exedy stage 1 clutch and same problem.. tha i buy normal clutch and change pedal cluth and master cylinder on gearbox and it was perfect..
Yea, but allways on hard way :) change all and you are peacfull, deep pocket. Hehe.. thanks man, you too. Cheers!!
I miss my delsol!
what front end is that
+j j stock front, 97 del sol bumper had no Aux light holes
Honda Vlogs damn. It looks great without those fog lights haha
+j j yeah man, different style for sure. They gave it that last facelift in 97 last year of the sol'ish. This ones a 97 vtec
Honda Vlogs it's beautiful
lot lighter?
What wing does he have i have a 94’ vtec trim
Stock wing, maybe it's 97 only? I have a 94 vtec too no wing though
Honda Vlogs Iike it sets the car off because mine has no wing as well
Im a fan of no wing lol, i been giving him shit for years
Honda Vlogs hey man can you ask how hard that swap was to do to his car and what all he needed
Nice car. Shame there's no footage of it running.....
nice, would change the lip to an oem em1 lip. but very clean.
Yeah I would be down for an EM1 lip. I have a feeling it wont fit on the 97 bumper well. This bumper has pretty limited oem lip options. Either way... i would have to agree with you. I might end up getting a spoon lip or something this summer.
yea i know the older del sol bumper people put on the 92-95 ex/si lip. but the car is still clean. im just being a part snob. lol
haha. its all good, that's why this game is fun.
car is nice the newer cars don't cut it
man, i wish i had the money to get a del sol and make it like this
Keep on wishing bitch
@@Anonmesye Whats your problem?
Just relax, it's a joke
45 series tires for me. No smaller
Thank you, To much Camera shaking and bad focus. And can you add engine start ups next time, would like to hear it rev.
Anyone else notice the PCV hose on the valve cover is...absent?
Theres a lot absent, only the things necessary to smash are installed.
I own those headlights now...
You're cars super clean man 👊
love this video you ricers see this with your slammed out non-sense this is a tuner car a real car take notes people. and for the haters that say oh it's a girl's car I bet they don't even have one.
I bet those who said it was a girl's car now owns a del sol 😆
Could of took a ride man damn..🤔
Honda Hell Hole.
Triple H
Man, I really wanna k swap my 96....
Cody wilbur?
+Brandon Keil willbuurrr. I know the man, the legend but what you mean?
Honda Vlogs I know him too I met him through team del sol as well met a lot of cool guys especially at vegas invasion a few years back!
I take it you're here in Nor*Cal?what part? ?
Brandon Keil I been on tsc for a long time. Haven't logged in for a while. Yeah I've been to VI like hmm 3 times. I'm in the east bay,
Honda Vlogs where at I'm in antioch
Very nice Del Sol. However, this thing will probably understeer like a pig on track. The front camber isn't right and the k20 is very far ahead of the front axles. Beautiful car regardless.
I dont like hondas buts thats sweet
didn't know the sol weighed less than an EM1.
Not a huge difference but the em1 weigh exactly 2600 which is alot heavier than people expect. The del sol is closer to 2500 i believe
And a lot lighter I was like heeey. Delsol97vtec 2522lbs civicsi1999 2612lbs that’s only 90lbs very oz counts but is not a lot lighter they are almost the same
I own a 93 del sol si
Dmv says the del sol is a convertible..
should be able to pass smog with a cat
interested in selling???
.
Hell hole.
the b16 are not the same
