I seriously dont think that you will find one for that engine, you may want to swap to another motor like the JDM D15B or D16Z6.....but you may want to try zex or crower cams

no beacuse the D16Z6 has an extra lobe on the cam, if you were to do a swap you could.

VTECH IS JUST ONE MORE THING TO GET IN YOUR WAY WHEN IT COMES TO TUNING PLUS WITHOUT VTECH YOU GET MORE LOW END POWER BECAUSE WHEN YOUR RUNNING ON 8 VELVES I HAVE 16 GOIN

http://www.exospeed.com would be your best bet. Possibly crower also, the market for B7 cams isn't that large. A good substitute would be the A6 cam from the 88-91 CRX Si.

Bullshit.

Wrong.

First off, its VTEC. And second of all it makes tuning the motor easier because you can tune for low-end torque in the lower revs and upper-rpm power. Besides, I bet you couldn't tune a radio much less a motor.

That's VTEC-E you dumbshit. With regular VTEC, you are running on a smaller cam profile for better low-end power in the low revs, and when you get up into the upper revs a larger cam profile takes over and allows more air into the engine for better top-end power. Not to mention, the D16's have more displacement which = more power.

A D16A6 cam is as cheap as it gets. There are a lot of aftermarket cams available for the older SOHC non-VTEC head as well. Try Exospeed for some pre-manufactured cams, or Delta if you have custom specs in mind.

thanks for the refferals guys. We can do B7 cams, we have specs avail for it that are similar to the A6 cams we do. all you have to do is send in your can and we can do the grind for you.

could you use an aftermarket a6 cam since you can swap in the stock a6 cam?

just get a d16a6 cam, depending on what year cam you get you may need a cam gear. i believe mine is a '89-90 and i needed a cam gear because it was off a couple teeth

do you honestly think i give a expletive what you say. i never said i was tuning the motor. all i said was i am building the motor, oh which by the way have you ever built a motor? ne ways i don't give a expletive if you have or not. and trust me you ask anybody that knows nething about real performance in a four cylinder they will tell you the same ******* thing i did. VTEC sucks ***. It is a waste of time and money to expletive with. yeah it might be better for a motor that you are only boltin **** on to the outside of the motor like all other ******* ricers i know, but for a real performance motor you get better results from a non-vtec. Learn what your talkin bout before you say **** you stupid mother ******.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Tsk tsk, I don't even know where to being with this one.
