Need more topend
Recently I have done the mpfi swap on my 91 civic with the d15b2.
Also theres a 4-2-1 header, 3'' short ram intake, stock throttle body with the throttle plate screws smoothed down along with a good polishing on the inside of tb. The rest of the exhaust is 2 1/4''. Still have the stock cx 5 speed tranny with a short shifter. Did very mild cleaning up of the a6 intake manifold intake ports. I am running the pm6 ecu as well and the other weekend I put in the d16a6 camshaft.
I noticed a significant high rpm power increase and i have been able to get up to 200km/h now as well as beat a variety of cars such as mx-6 v6's and cobalt ss.
However when i raced forced induction cars and ones with special valve timing deals like......MIVEC from mitsubishi's...vtec from b16's....they start pulling away strong at 160km/h.
After all that jabber I just want to know a suitable replacement to the d16a6 cam but one with wayy stronger top end. I heard about the exospeed cams and the delta 272 regrinds and a few other ones. However im just worried about piston to valve clearance with those cams as I am using my 1.5. I honestly dont care about low end torque...im addicted now and ide rather have all top end. I know the 4-1 header would be better for that but i dont think replacing the headers gonna give me the advantage i need
Has anyone done clearance checks with plastigage or something on the 1.5l with any after market cams for the a6?

depending on how much you wanna put in your car a b16 has good top end and you will be able to go faster than 125mph... i havent been in a new eclipse but there 265hp its probaly gona take a b16+ some more bolt ons to run with a new eclipse
ya....i just wanted to get the most out of the current setup before i put the y8 head on the built a6. I might just try another cam and that will probably be it for this motors mods as changing pistons is a little out of reach for me on this car now as its my current all the time driver and all. But thanks again for the input and i will consider all that for another build.
this one seems like it wouldbe perfect
