I currently have a JDM D15B in my EG with a cracked block and I want a cheap alternative to a B series for 2006. I have read up a bit on using a SOHC ZC block with a Y8 head and I am very anxious to give it a try. 12.6:1 compression sounds like fun considering my D15B made 125whp/98tq. I am wondering if there would be ANY benefit to using my D15B head instead of a Y8 head. Or using the D15B cam in the Y8 head. I was planning to do the valvetrain on whichever head I do use, is there some sort of RACE cam out there that would work very nice with this high compression combo. The car is going to be strictly a roadrace car, so streetability or legality is not an issue. So I guess the real question is; With OEM parts, which Block, Head, Cam combo is going to make the most power.
I have been told that using D16a1 pistons nets over 13:1 compression, but I don't want to spend the money on that right now. I have TYPE-R aspirations for the 2007 season.

 

Bump?!?!

Is the GUDE cam the way to go?!?!
