No one seems to sell cams for the 1.5L D15. Anyone know where to look? I found Gude but I am hearig some bad things about them and I don't want a regrind. Any ideas, and yes I did a search

I am pretty sure Zex's has a cam for that motor,also i think compcams does too.

eg6ajk

sohc non-vtec if so, then use 90-1 CRX si, due to block height difference, you will require a cam gear otherwise it will retard the timing by about 5deg., but this will give you a killer top end.

for JDM D15B SOHC VTEC VTi motor, use a ZEX 59300 cam or Crower or new Skunk2

For FI I say stock for NA I would check out zex/jg/crower.

I have cams for the D15. They are regrinds but are parkerized for proper break-in. My cams will give you 10.4mm lift (GSR High lobe has 10.4mm lift)

Good stuff. Honda heads like and flow well with higher lift.

If you want new I can track down some new blanks and have them ground for you.

Drop me a line if you want to see a pic of the cam.

I can also locate some dual springs and retainers for you if you like.

Hopes this helps you out.

Hey man, I am very interested, these are non-vtec cams right, hit me up.

jharris@innet.com

why not get a 88-91 si head and get a cam for that or even do a mini me swap the 1.5 d15b at least is the same as a d16a6 head so u can use the 88-91 cam in a 88-91 1.5 head im running a y7 head on my d15 rioght now non vtec about to geta deltacam cam they arent expensive either

lonefuzzy79

yes an email address would be good, also can you put a D16 VTEC head on the D15 block? Is there a reliable place to get a CRX Si head? this is for a 95 CX BTW

Well see my motor is kinda weird, its a contmplation(sp?) of parts, so here is the show down...

89 d15b6 block
99 da6y7 Head little head work done.
99 y8 gasket.
95 SI trans.
DX ecu
one wire o2

Best run so far is 16.1 with a fucked up ecu, since i only have a one wire o2, car is running in limp mode, fuel cut off is at 6800 instead of 7400, hope to have that fixed soon.

Any how I would like to get a nice high lift cam for the car.

There are many choices. I personally like 1.5 as they seem to run harder than 1.6's.

I also have a D-series vtec head and they are good too.

D-series SI cams are not aggressive enough. The proper cam will take your engines performance to the next level and make all your I/H/E bolt-ons worthwile.

IMO, you don't need Vtec to run hard it just allows for manageable idle. If you have close ratios gears and high compression you won't sacrifice much.

Rocket

The non-vtec SI heads and CX heads are the same the last time I checked. These are the high efficiency heads with the spark plug holes on the intake side of the valve covers.

Rocket

You can put a Vtec head on the non-vtec blocks. You just have to make sure you check the timing belt clearance with the driver side engine mount, and other things like that.

Cx heads are 8 valve, I am running a 16 valve head.

Rocket

Thanks for the correction. Then non-vtec 16 valve heads are the same.

I have custom cams for the D16a6 which you can also use on the D15 that you have.
I sold one recently to a guy up in the bay area. And with header, intake. Exhaust. The cam, cam gear, and some tuning, he told me they were able to get 114hp to the wheels with just that setup.. That’s a big difference compared to the stock 1.5L motor.(keep in mind that its Wheel HP)
email me if you want to ask him some questions.

not to bad thats basically my setup right now but i have a 88 4dr tranny same gearing basically
im running a 15.5 at 86mph in my 88 hatch
ill be changing it a lil bit to a si tranny shorter gears and a z6 intake mani and LS TB and a stage 2 clucth

SOHCwarrior

how much?
and what is up with the dual valvesprings can you get good deals?

Rocket

10.4mm Lift (GSR Hi lobe is 10.4mm), 108 Lobe Center, Greylite Parkerized, Aggressive Profile.

Rocket

Price $150 plus core. Money-back guarantee on all cams. LS cams also available.

monsta

Rocket can you post some more info on the cams, like what gains are expected, what motor they are Ideal for.

Also, do you have a little bigger lift cam, I dont care about idle, just want alot more top end.

Jesse

Rocket

I haven't got a chance to take the test car to the dyno yet but the mid-range and upper rpm is much improved.

I can put more lift on the cam but there's only so much that can be grounded before you run out of threads on the tappet screws. I am looking into some new blanks at the moment.

10.4mm lift should be plenty for the 29mm intake valves.

monsta

Rocket, I would prefer mine made out of blanks, I am just not to trustworthy of regrinds, any how, if you can get your hands on blanks let me know, I can get base base numbers on a dyno, and then numbers with the cam, maybe we can work out some kinda deal.

Jesse

Rocket

That's great. I am a big fan of racers who want to be part of the development process. Send me an e-mail at Rocket@HondaSaver.com so that you can be in my address book.

Regrinds are fine for a certain amount of lift/duration. But the more radical profiles work best on new blanks. As far as durability, proper break-in makes them lasts with no problem. The cam actually gets work hardened by the rockers.

CRX/Civic 88-91 Si cam does wonders.

D15 with 135 CRANK hp with simple I/H/E.
