I know most of you have dohc motor swaps and stuff. Im going to do a b16 swap in a couple of months but for now, i just want my single cam to run somewhat hard. Does anyone know who makes a good street cam for a d16y8?

Just save every penny you can. Take it from me, a guy who's ran two SOHC motors into the ground. There is only so much you can do and it really sucks ***** unless you turbo it, and even then it still is not great. Just save every penny so you can mod your swap or get a better swap.

Define "great"? Please don't tell me it has anything to do with a swap because honestly.. I got tired of ***-pounding B16/18/LSV's in my fat-*** SOHC coupe. So unless your setting the LS1 as the benchmark of "great", end now..

I've heard a lot of people have had good luck with ZEX's SOHC cam. My friend ran a Webb cam and it pulled pretty good in his EF.

cough cough bullshit..where is wil 13.6 all motor stock block...where is mista bone stock z6 with bolts/zex kit 13.0???? what about all the countless SCCA ITA CRX race cars that must retain the d16a6...if u can get your car is the 2000lb range..and possess the know how of a sohc..u can run pretty hard

The key comes down to price, driver, and goal.

I currently own an ITR and do a lot of track schools with it. Even when I was making over 190whp, there were guys in 125 whp SOHC cars that could drive circles around me. If your goal is straight line speed, they you're already at a disadvantage with a Honda. I currently have a hatch that I'm prepping into a full track car. I sold the B-series swap because I could build 2-3 SOHC motors for the same price. A fully prepped SOHC wil put down close to what an OE ITR motor will (160whp/117 tq). If done right, it will be just as reliable too. In a lighter chassis you've got a killer combo.

Zex makes a pretty good street/strip cam from what I have heard. Skunk 2 does as well.

It's really all about the power-to-weight ratio (something my heavy-*** EJ8 knows little about!).

Why are you going to replace your 1.6L engine with a 1.6L engine?

Edit: that weights 75lbs mroe?

Because it's a DOHC VTEC yO!!!

I swear, sometimes I truly wonder about the next generation of "enthusiasts" (I use the term loosley)

Think of it like this, get the zex cam drive it, It will give you more power. Then when you run into some money and get the swap , sell me your cam. I love my sohc and until I run into my GSR or my Type R swap I will keep it. DOHC bla,
All I got to say is bringit!

I had a d16z6 with a JG cam and the usual bolt ons in my del sol and it was just as quick as all these damn eg's with B-whatever swaps. I didn't have the torque to keep up them on the freeway but when we got to the canyons they couldn't see me. It's all about power to weight.
