OBX is generally regarded as the laughing stock of the aftermarket parts industry. I remember there being some issues a few years ago where the cams were made of too hard a metal and it wore out the rocker assemblies in only a few hundred miles. I think their LSD's had issues as well, but I didn't do a lot of reading into the subject. I'm interested in seeing how their recent Toda ITB ripoffs hold up.

The D15B has a relatively aggressive cam in it from the get go.

a friend of mine had some obx stage 3 cams in his b18a..
he had them for like 10000 miles then heard everyone talking about the rocker assemblies getting eaten up.. so he replaced them with the stock ones and gave them to me.. ive got them sitting in a walmart bag with some oil on em.. heh
he had no wear what so ever on his rockers tho.. looked as good as they were when he got the head back from the machine shop. so i dunno.. im still not using them tho

u mean crower? crower is a great brand. a lot of people use them with their b18a/b builds.
i, myself do not the if the d15b head is the same as a z6/y8 head so please research it or wait for someone with more knowledge to chime in, but here is a link to s2's site.

check out these...

bisimoto.com

exospeed.com

Exospeed site is down right now but they have great stuff. I have a stage 2 exospeed cam in my d16a6 powered crx and its decently quick for a $220 regrind. But I am looking to upgrade to a bisi nitrous cam for my new build.

Also the z6 cam and d15b cam are interchangable so if you are looking and it says z6 it will work in your motor as well.

I wouldn't bother with a cam in a D series motor. Seriously.

You're [freak]ing kidding right?

A cam in a d15??

what would you run in a quarter mile? like a 19.1 with a 5 second 60 foot as opposed to a 19.2 with a 5 and a half second 60 foot?
