I would have Crane cams grind u a custom one made for ur setup, If its made for your setup then you usually get the most out of it.good luck

Yes the zex camshaft is for a n/a car. so I dont think it would help with some boost, who knows zex might make a turbo cam. but i dont know

i asked specifically if it could be used w/ a turbo honda. and the zex representative said "yes". it would help a turbo car. It's even used w/ their 75 shot equiped hatch. It took .3 seconds off of the quarter mile. go to www.zex.com and see for yourself. the stock hatch runs 13.3 in the quarter.

I'm sorry sir, but since I am a highly trained and experienced mechanic, I will have to tell you the truth that this cam will probably only give you one horsepower and would be a waste of your money.

That's what those sales people should say!!

JG makes a good turbo cam. I had a friend that installed a JG turbo cam in his d16z6 and made like 25hp on his 12psi greddy turbo boosted engine. Thats pretty awesome gains from just a cam on a d-series motor.

He highly recommends it. The only downside is see with the cam is its a reground. Although i used a reground cam for 60k miles and when i pulled it out it looked pretty bad..but the cyl head was fine. Im not complaining...
