Hi guys I have a 99 jdm d15b 3 stage vtec engine in a 2000 ex manual and I was trying to find a camshaft and valves and also I need to know what kind of spark plugs it takes thanks

You can't upgrade the cam on that motor. People don't make performance parts for it. It's an econobox.

Even if you could, it would be a waste of money if the car isn't tuned for it.

Thanx for the input guys I guess I get rid of the junker motor or put it on boost till it blows

And HOW is that motor a junker?
Do you INTEND for it to blow if you boost it? I don't/didn't on mine. I never understand when people say that.

Some people just want an excuse to buy things they don't need.

OP, there's nothing "wrong" with your motor. It can still make good power for a street car/DD. It can also make good power while getting stupid gas mileage. Don't discount it - just don't expect to be able to cam it out, tune it, and turn it into a track monster.

If you want to make more power, you should start looking into how people sorted out their AFRs before OBD1 tuning became popular. A proper 3 stage ECU can't be tuned through normal means, but that doesn't stop you from running some kind of hack to tune. Just do a lot of research and learn what you're doing before you go fiddling with it.

Here's how 3-stage VTEC turbo is done.

K thanx and what I meant by junker was that the kid I bought the car from said that it needed a valve job but I got it for cheap so I thought I could of fixed it or atleast make it better but thanx guys

"A valve job" doesn't generally mean replacing the valves, it just means adjusting them.
