Cam For Civic

[big tone]

hey all i have a D16Y4 99 civic hatch and have been searching every where
for cams
does anyone know of a place that HAS done a regrind or a billet or does any other cams fit the D16Y4

only want a mild cam E.G street strip
ALL help will be appreciated

[shurman]

i know crower sell at a D16Y8 cam's. but im not sure if this would fit ur d16y4 or not?
search the crower web site

[big tone]

nah they havent done anything for it yet. ive tried tiegh, crow, comp and a few others. i was hoping that someone has allready done and can help out

there is only 1 off the shelf/regrind i know of and thats a JG cam. but i think it might be discontinued. it will need to be custom..

in the end though, a good upgrade is a mini-me conversion and it come cost ui much more

[big tone]

nah no conversions, someone has to of done something

[Surrufus]

ill have a talk to a tuning house over here and see what they say

[big tone]

thanks, that would be great

bump. anyone know of any cams out there

a mini-me conversion is not an engine conversion. It's keep your engine and just putting on a SOHC Vtec head. Probably your best option in getting something out of your current engine.

OK then so how much $$$ would i be looking at to do a mini-me conversion? and exactly what will be reqiered

[barefootbonzai]

a sohc vtec head, vtec ecu, new headgasket and some wiring. You could probably get it all done for under $1G

and what are the pro's and cons as i'm thinking about it very hard
and the second is it easy to convert

[NeRV]

its easy aslong as you or your mech knows what they are doing...

visit www.d-series.org its an american site, but its got heaps of info on Mini me conversions.

I would say the pro's to doing this is, that you gain a pretty good amount of power, so its basically bang for your bucks.

I cant really think of any con's on slapping a vtec head onto a non vtec engine.

hope that helps

doing a mini me also bumps up the conpression abit... meaning more power!!! i've gone through the pain of finding an aftermarket cam for the y4... and sadly all you can do is get a place to regrind the stock cam... and then you have to get the head put together anyway!! if your gonna have it apart, may aswell do it right the first time while its off!!

if you do the mini me... crower make cams for the d16y8 head... so while its off... do it right and get a very mild port and polish (mainly the exhaust port on d-series), shaved head, cam and you'll have a nice little motor there!!

sounds like a lot of stuffing around... but it will beat getting the stock d16y4 cam worked on!!

hope this helps!!
