Most FPR's are the same. It really depends on the name brand. And as for cam gears as long as it is d series to d series they will fit. (excluding the d16a1)

fuel pressure reg you can use either. but if you have a y8 you may need to get the specific one because the fuel return line needs to curve 90 degrees to get past the throttle rotor...i had this problem on mine when i swapped a y8 IM on my y7

cam gear...its engine specific...but goes in year ranges

aem cam gear
Honda Civic 1996-00 D16 SOHC 23-604
Honda Civic 1988-95 D15/D16 SOHC 23-600

aem fuel pressure reg
Honda Civic 96-00 Civic EX 25-304
Honda Civic 1995 All 25-300

the model numbers are different so there must be something alittle different between the two

Another thing the think about is that the stock cam gear has a tooth on it that fits into a groove on the camshaft. Most aftermarket cam gears do not have this tooth. You have to by the "key" from Honda. All the B series motors use them so they are not hard to find.

If you search you can probably even find the part number.

Also, a cam gear on an SOHC motor isn't giong to do much of anything unless paired with a cam.

well. it is mostly just to give me extra timing room when i tune my hatch on the afc hack. i hope i dont need it. but my dizzy is 80% of the way advanced and the timing is set at like -1*.

when messing with the timing when tunning the hack. they remove timing (retard) when tunning dont they? in this case. i wont need the gear. but im thinking the PFR might come in handy helping get the idle smooth and all.

I looked at every local store within 30 minutes of my house and none of them had one that was the right size. Jacksonville sucks...

I guess if I had a bench grinder I could have made one fit...

In that case then yeah I guess the gear could give your tuner some wiggle room when tuning.

Can't really hurt anything...
