would i b able to put and properly run a D16a6 cam in my b2?? would i need anyothet mods is it even worth doing?? kus ma friend is running a a6 cm in his d15b7 so just wanted to know if i could do the same!??

 

IIRC that's the only difference between the b2 and a6 should work fine brahhh

 

any gain in hp?? n so just slap in the a6 n thats it

 

Google a6 cam in b2 like I said I'm not 100 % sure but I know its been done

 

i tell you know, you wont feel much, if any, difference.

 

yea did the research timming will b off by a half a tooth there for i can use a y7 y8 cam gear or get an ajustable one might do it not shure was just thinking bout it

 

not worth it IMO Go MPFI(Multi point fuel injection)
instead,will be more beneficial in the long run.

 

the a6 cam is literally the exact same lift and duration as a b2 cam. the only difference is the cam gear offset. you will gain nothing from this. the oem manual has all of that info.

 

You've never seen them side by side then or measured them for yourself. You will definitely feel an increase mainly in the upper RPM range if you swap this in and get it timed a specific way (mechanical and ignition) but just throwing it in with all else stock you'll barely notice any difference (confirming what "ef yu" stated). Having said that, you will NOT have a fast car with this alone. Combined with the MPFI conversion you will have essentially an Si with slightly less torque. So if having an Si with slightly less torque sounds good to you, go for it.

 

As a matter a fact i have seen them side by side, I have seen the 88-91 d-series cam specs side by side straight out of Honda material. And i have physically used calipers and measured them. Check your facts again.

 

I'll post up pics later from my camshaft that I swapped vs my original but for now I'll dig around, see if I can find the pics online from someone else. I know I've seen them before or I wouldn't have done the swap because like you, I saw the specs in the FSM and saw that they were the same but the pics online showed otherwise as did my own experience. Give me a while...

read it for yourself.

 

I actually found my mistake before reading that, my DX camshaft is out of the newer 92-95 Civic. Carry on...

EDIT: I'm still finding conflicting info, might be worth a trip to the junkyard to get one for myself and measure lobe heights, base circles, lift, and duration.

 

like i said i have measured them both one after the other. They are exactly the same with the exception of the d15b2 auto as mentioned in the link i previously posted.

 

That link doesn't verify duration which is where I'm finding conflicting info. Don't worry about it though.

 

i wont... but if you take some measurements post up your result if you find something different.

 

I did this in my 93 4 door runabout. It works and will add a little throttle response but that about it

 

where do you find the a6 cam because i have an 89 crx with the d15b2 and its a little sluggish even with the mpfi swap and pm6 ecu and i read that the a6 cam with y8 cam gear should make this engine a little more fun and idk if this would have anything to do with it bit ots the mpfi from the hf but could anyone link where I can find and buy the a6 camshaft

 

what state?
I have the head taking up space

 

texas and how would i buy it

 

I’ll take it out of the head and take it to the post office with your address

do you really want it?
