del sol motors

I just bought a del sol a few months ago and it has a d15b7 in it. The motor is about to die on me and I was wondering what b-series motor would be easiest to swap into it. Also what all i would need to do the swap?

Re: del sol motors

This should answer all your questions. The sol chassis is the same as the 92-95 civics for motor swapping.

Oh, and no big about the double post. If you do that, just contact any moderator to have them delete it. Thanks.

Re: del sol motors

Did you read that writeup? The B16 isn't a hard swap at all, so long as you have all the right parts. Only thing you'll have to do is run 2 wires for VTEC since your chassis isn't wired for it.
