Which non vtec sohc cam
 
I have a d15b7 head and i want to replace the cam with a better performing stock one

a d16a6 one?
are they the same?

jdm sohc zc is slightly larger not by much. Bang for the buck cant go wrong w/ an si cam usually can get them for 20 bucks+ shipping. Dont forget the cam sproket. Cheap regrinds go with delta cams

Why are you doing this? turbo or NA? Not really worth it IMO

cuz i have a d15b vtec head with shitty valve seals
and i wanted to see what i can put in my d15b7 head that doesnt cost much but gives me something more

its all for boost

if its for boost, dont waste your time man. The cam deal is most effective for naturally aspired motors and sometimes decreases performance on turbo cars if the lift is to much.

It's really not needed ona budget set up. If you are tryin to make 250+ then ya cam design will come into play but for the cost it may not be worth it but the si cam is a nice upgrade in a d15 motor and is very cheap. Pretty much a 100 dollar deal with new vc gasket,cam,and gear

100 dollars???? how??

anyhow since no one has mentioned it i will, the a6 cam sits in the d15b7 off 1/2 tooth or about 4degs retarded, you can either a.) get an adjustable cam gear to compensate if you dont already have one or b.) if your cheap like me you can find a y7/y8 stock cam gear which will get it closer to "TDC" in that head, NOTE: if you want to get an adjustable cam gear and not have to do math make sure to get a 96-00 cam gear to accomidate the difference

I don't think that will make a damn bit of difference since all SOHC adjustable cam gears have the same part number. :P

not suprising, most aftermarket companys could give 2 shits about a D

you have to get a valve cover gasket kit if you remove your valve cover, and buy the cam and cam gear, it's not worth the money for like 1hp maybe. you would be better off spending the money replacing the valve seals in the d15b head.

Re:Which non vtec sohc cam
 
i spent 40 bucks total doing mine, i was happy with the gains only wish i had a higher rev limiter to accomidate, if you check out the specs the a6 cam is similar to most companys "stage 1" spec'd aftermarket cams for the 92-95 dx, so i think it is a worth while mod

but i must agree with what the guy above said, i would probably just replace the valve stem seals in the d15b head if that was the only problem, dont bother wasting your time if you have a good head already

Mista Bone put down 120whp with a si cam, gear, intake, header, and exhaust, on his stock D15. Then ran 15.0.

back on topic though the delta 272 is pretty agressive and its 85 + sending in your core but is more of a N/A cam
