I heard if you put a d16y8 camshaft into a d16z6 you will gain 2 hp is this true ??? LOL 2 hp

 

why would it matter....what do you want 2hp for. just throw boost....then you can choose how much hp you gain....till your motor blows from too much psi

 

yea... prob. not worth it...

 

i wanna is this possible, i didnt ask about boost, 2 hp woop dee but its still 2 hp

 

I was wondering if i could put a jdm d15b camshaft into my y8 head on my mini-me
with port polish head would it gain any? from what i hear the d15b vtec cam is better then z6 and y8

 

i forgot about this but i still havent gotten a definite answer

 

Are z6, y8, and d15b camshafts interchangable?

 

i don't know thats why i'm askin but no luck so far

 

should be. aren't all deseries parts interchangable?

 

92-00 i believe they are.

 

you can put it in there but it will suck ***. i had a mini me with a z6 head and a cam gesar and had it all adjusted properly. i heard the same thing that a y8 cam gear is a good cam swap for the z6 head. well to start the y8 cam has was ground on what appears to a 1.5 index. so after i installed and adjusted all the valves i had to correct the cam timing again and then reset the ignition timing. got everything going like it should be and took it for a ride around around the block. the cra made no power under vtec and evem when vtec cam on it stilll sucked ***. i turned right back around and went back to the shop and pulled it out. i fuigured it was a problem something like this....... the y8 has a btter lift and duration cam on paper. but the y8 head is a different height, the rocker arms have a different ratio etc. so the cam lobes must really affect when the valves open. so i guess that it was opening them out of time even though the cam gear and igntion timing was all set properly.


all in all it's a huge waste of your time, don't do it.

THANK YOU MAYN !!!!!! BOUT TIME I GOT A REAL ANSWER

 

I read somewhere that you can (search it's there I know for sure), but you need to skip one tooth, don't know which way though.

 

timing on y8 = more adanved then z6. (5 degrees). you might gain some high end, lose some at low end.
