good luck.

 

thanks everyone. and yes you can put them on, the vtec activation won t happen obviously. don t call me a newb, ive been working on cars for a few years, but never had to do a cam.

 

Ok, so i have a good idea on how to do it, but as for "dialing in" and using the adjustable cam gear im kinda in the dark. oh, and for those who doubted the installation of a B16A6 cam in a D15B7, mista bone actually had it on paper what it can do for my engine. id show u but my image button fails to work right now, in short it in proved every aspect and it brought the hp to about 118 whp at 7 rpm, and other raises all over the power band. thats alot more for even the vtecs of the D series.

I think you mean D16A6 cam. Talk to mista bone if you get a chance, or do a search on here. He covered the whole procedure in detail at one point whether it was on here or another site.

 

advancing =better top end less torque
retarding=more torque less top end

 

ya, i did mean D16A6 cam. thanks, ill try to talk with him.

no, the lobes, and lifters dont match up mang, you gotta buy the whole vtec head

 

no, it fits, u don t need the vtec head, whats needed is a adjustable sprocket to compensate.

 

So, ummmm, i still have no idea how to dial up a cam... or adjust the A6 cam in a B7 for that matter... im glad i have u guys to talk to instead of tryin to do it myself and fudging everything!

EDIT: talked to a mechanic from honda, and he says they will work

 

they do work, ill show you a link to a dyno mista bone did with his B7 with A6 cam
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=721112 this was when i didn t have a good plan of attack on my engine.

 

can anyone explain how to "dial in" a cam and adjust with the adjusting gear?
