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!

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?"
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.
“You drive a Del slow”
HUEHUEHUE
Kidding.
ThatDudeinBlue hey david can you review lowtek's 350z
check him on TH-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.
David getting more into Hondas now I see nice good shit my man. That sol is so damn clean omg.
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.
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 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 😂
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.
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
Loving all the HONDA content!
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 🌲
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 🤟🏾🤟🏾
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
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
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!
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'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
I've always loved the look of smaller cars. Lightweight for the most part so power isn't the worst of concerns.
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
No wonder they’re all beat to shit
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.
love the del sol, such an underrated car. great video david
I have a 97....took off the muffler put on a straight pipe...my neighbors love me!
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 :)
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.
VTEC @ 3:27, 5:27, 6:27
Sam Jones thank you
All 27's
You forgot 2:35
I miss my old b16 del sol. Such a fun car to drive.
Freakin love the intro you made for this car. Great music and cinematography combination!
Hoonigan's Climbkhana played as an advertisement. Longest ad i didn't skip
Yeeees i just bought a del sol 6 months ago so im very happy to see your thoughts
My dad has a 97 stock del sol with the stock b16 vtec
I love these types of car reviews! Keep 'em up David!
He has the best year delsol. The absence of the circle headlights just completes the car amazingly.
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 ☺️
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'm so glad you finally did a Del Sol 😍😍
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'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS OMG
That’s a badass car and I really liked that view of the second camera at 4.20 please use that more🙏
"...but if you have a D-series,i guess you're ok..." bruh,c'mon 😒 D16 Motor,Suzuki Vitara Pistons with eagle rods,ebay turbo@15lbs,Stock Head,Stock Cam,255LHP pump of your choice,h23 injectors or aftermarket (up to you) ,OEM LSD equipped 5 speed manual(the old SOHC SI model had it),whatever engine management you want (i ran a chipped p13 . Got it for 100 bucks. I was 16 and its all there was and all i could afford. Only pulled on boost and with the MIL on the whole time 🤕)and just choosing to not follow trends and you'll end up with a 300+Hp Sleeper. Those D series aren't bad at all.//SOHC no VTEC all day. Really wish i still had that thing.
I love the intros David, wouldn’t mind seeing a little more of it❤️
Literally just met the owner of this green del sol last night awesome dude
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.
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!!!
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 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.
This is awesome, my b20v setup makes 190hp 170tq , b16 trans ...rev limit is 9000rpms 🙏
Young Coffey more like 150 ft of torque max.
Your brave for revving a b20 that high at the point your out of the power band
I'm sorry but I'm having trouble here, either you have the worlds biggest cam and port and polish job or your full of it. It is retarded hard to get a b20 to breath efficient at 9k and the piston speeds are getting pretty risky
I had a D16 si for 28 years never had a problem sold it 3 years ago and miss it always 😢
You know what Ima buy a del solo rn. Brb
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
Alright I now need to Hswap my 93 del sol now haha
Hondas run forever!
The J Media they can but I’ve seen a lot blow up lol
The dash cam view while you were on the throttle was a nice touch :)
Quinn Thompson ikr I was like, finallyy
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.
I love my delsol, need to post video here of it more 😢
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!
damm i wanted to be the first del sol you review!! 😢😢😢
Chxng21 me too LOL
damn a talking car.
I wonder who Doug Demuro will have for his first del sol. Hopefully me
I really appreciate that you give Honda it's due respect. So many people think Honda's are a joke now because of the poser ricer scene. F*** that though, Hondas are legitimately good cars, incredibly reliable, affordable, fun to drive, and basically begging you to make them go faster. It has been a staple in tuner culture for a long time for good reason. It's also cool to see one of it's more under-appreciated cars getting some love.
It sounds very nice, I like it, awesome review of course!
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 have the same swap in my integra. F2B with type R trans. Stage 3 with 6 puck clutch. Nice little swap.
My friend was just talking about buying one of these...then this video pops up?? it was meant to be!!
Plz do a review of a Honda prelude I’ve been waiting for you to do one for so long
I just got one like a second ago I cant wait to drive it tomorrow!
I was BIG BIG BIG Honda guy from when I bought my first CRX as a sophomore until I was almost 30. I bought a Camry, and now I can't imagine wanting to daily a CRX or a Del Sol. So tiny, and not nearly enough power. Even if you do those crazy rare "high" horsepower engine swaps, let's be honest. They're just not fast. Not unless you get into turbocharging and high dollar engine building.Maybe one day I can find a decent cooler old civic, and have a little weekend car. See how I like it.
Looks like Power is very important to you. Power is addictive and subjective and for most the taste of power leads to wanting more. At the end for many no amount of power will ever be enough.
Hondas arent for high power. They are for fun driving experience that preform good enough so that you can go fast when youd like and still have a nice reliable car. 😐
Happy to see this as a sol owner
You should do an Turbo 1zz Mr2 spyder or a 2zz swap! Great video BTW!
Screech in every shift! Love sleepers.
Got a green 94 and 95 both manual and they are fun as hell! Plus 30+ mpg on the hwy
I have an 05 CTS-V that you can review. Wouldn't mind making the trip down from MA.
Man it sounds amazing!!
I have a B18C in my Del Sol. Aside from the common Problems with the old seals it´s a blast ;)
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
Every time I see a DelSol I see the mini NSX that it should have been I mean, it’s design just screams Mid Engine RWD car not FWD. Still a cool car with its own following within the Honda community. that mileage on the chassis doesn’t surprise me either.
Hey I love everything about it even that raspiness comes out the exhaust my car is loud AF it straight piped b16a2
i just bought a 95 del sol like 3 weeks ago i love it
Soon this is going to be @CHRISFIX del sol on your channel 👍
I love it very good my boy keep up and love video 💯
i bought de sol 15 years ago from a freind when my DaD saw it brougth it home for cleaning it says son that is a nice car to get ..in a week it was mine..doch vtec 1.6 a cool toy with no proplems .. paint it trought the years 3 times ...red... dark red.... and the ferrari red and yep i still have it..my Dad droves it..
Just baught me a stock 93 1.6l si del sol,can’t wait to mod it out
I love these. Sucks you barely see these cars much.
I've been seeing a bunch of these lately.
Dan// Lucky you, I have not
Dan// you could be in a area with a lot.
I see these here and there in California
City By The Bay yeah that much I know but I’m the east cost you see them but they are hidden.
I LOVE Honda’s and (Toyota’s). They are very dependable as long as you take care of them. I had a 1986 Toyota Celica GTS. I LOVED it. Dude hit me head on. So it had to go to car heaven. 😢. Then a 1987 Honda Accord. Loved it. Then a 1996 Honda Passport 5 speed. loved it. Then a 1997 Toyota 4 Runner. Loved it. Now I have an 08 Honda Pilot. LOVE IT. Don’t plan on getting rid of her. Until she absolutely falls apart. My husband had a 1987 Toyota pickup. When he sold it, it had over 300,000 miles on it. And nothing had been replaced in the engine. Then he got a 02 Tacoma brand new and is still driving it. My daughter had an 2010 Toyota Camry. Wrecked it. Then we found her a 2014 Camry SE. that thing is sharp and is her baby.
Yay!!! Awesome video on a Del Sol!!!
I see a DDJ-SB in the background. Very nice!!!
I considered buying a Del Sol but I think I still want my Honda hatch 🐣
I like all those Grip Royal plugs, my man wants that free steering wheel 😎
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.
Targa are amazing it’s about the “feeling”... you wanna drive a 700 Lambo ? It feels like your driving in an elevator in a coupe. Driving in a targa or a roadster you then feel like your driving a 700 hp roller coaster. You hear the engine the exhaust the wind and it feels more dangerous but it’s awesome. Coupes look better parked and to other people admiring your car, drop tops are more of an experience to pilot. Just my $0.02...
I love my Del Sol and I’ll never get rid of it!!
This car I believe is coming back.....you might wanna buy & hold one. Mines just reached 200k. Chris fix just bought one
I LOVE THE DEL SOL AH!!
lol David gives an award to every swapped honda he drives
Next week's video, "I bought another honda!" Then the week after that, "Baltic blue del sol!" Haha love you man.
Dang. I have one with 445,000 miles I e almost offered a few times. Didn't think you'd want one that old! lol mine is all original though
My 95 ej2 has 294k miles on its original d15. Still daily drive it and put 100 miles on it daily
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
I owned a del sol😂😂 Such a fun little car to drive around
JakestrCars no...
Gotta be a shitstain owner
