Default d15b sohc vtec cam vrs d16z6

Hi there, Im new at this forum and I need your help.

I have a d15b swap on mi civic EX coupe. A friend of mine is selling me a skunk2 stage 1 cam he has on his d16z6.
I have read the stock cam on my d15b is more agressive that the one in the d16z6, and that the head is the same (is that true? I dont really know).


The question is:
Would it fit my motor? Or do I need to get a cam that's specifically for my d15b?

Thanks for the help!!!

the jdm D15B head is the same, the cam will fit.
there has been discussions backa dn forth on the cam being more agressive but no proof as been shown.

D15b cam is not the same, I will create an article and take some pictures to compare my old d15b vtec against d16z6 from ex. The D15b cam has advance duration and timing, and its vtec and exhaust lobes are more aggressive by .10 mm in lift. The D15b has thicker lobes while the d16z6 has thinner lobes. Easy to tell, the cam gears are the same.
