d15b cam -> d16z6??
this thought popped into my head the other day and i was just curious about it. since the jdm d15b cam is a little more aggressive than the stock z6 cam, would it be worth it to put the d15 cam in a z6 turbo. it is a stock cam so the overlaps and whatnot should still be ok for turbo application, right? even if its not a crapload of hp(which it probably wont be) could it be a cheap alternative to getting a turbo cam???? just curious, what are other peoples thoughts...

read this post on cams for the d15b... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=692065
it will be damn hard to get your hands on a d15b cam... also, timing will be off approx. 9.8 degrees (1.6>1.5)... for your d16z6, just get a comp cam/zex 59300/59100
good luck

The D15b cam has advance duration and timing, and its vtec and exhaust
lobes are more aggressive by .10 mm in lift. The D15b has thicker lobes while the d16z6 has thinner lobes. Easy to tell, the cam gears are the same. In order to fix timing, you have to use jdm d15b vtec maps with upgraded ccs if you put in z6 or cam gear set to 1.5 degrees.
