Default Curious about the 59300 zex cam

If i was to put this into a d16z6...would it pull as hard as a b16? Or even close to it?

Is this cam good for turbo?

This is not a good cam for turbo.

As for pulling like a B16, it depends on your other mods.

Yeah, depends on what other mods are done to the motor as well as how well you get the setup tuned. Just the cam with no tuning won't yield great gains, but headwork and lots of tuning will help a lot. If anything else, your D-series will sound nice after VTEC x-over.

Cam gear, wideband O2 bung, dyno, wideband O2, good tuner, and something to change the fuel. In your case, you could probably get away with a VAFC. That's what I used when I used the Skunk2 Stage 1. Also used a Skunk2 cam gear and my tuner's wideband O2.

Then good luck on finding horsepower from your setup. Assuming everything's brand new (VERY rough pricing)----

A'PEXi VAFC: $300
Skunk2 cam gear: $100
wideband O2 bung: $50
dyno tuning w/ a wideband O2 sensor: $100 x Hours (figure maybe 1.5-2 hours, sometimes less if the tuner is familiar with a setup similar to yours)

You can obviously buy some of this **** used to save money. Dyno tuning prices vary a lot. My shop charges around $100/hour, but some charge almost $150+/hour. Depends on the shop. Good luck.
