who has installed camshafts into D16Y4???

[Frankie]

like to know who has installed them into there car and if it was worth it
also what brands were they??

[beeza]

As far as I know no one makes an aftermarket cam for the y4 so you will have to go with a custom job or a regrind but that expensive.
Your better off getting rid of that y4 and doing an engine swap.Don't spend money on that engine.I should know I've got the same engine.It's not even worth doing a mini me (i.e.putting a y8 head on the the y4 block-U get Vtec + the y8 head has good aftermarket support) because of the effort involved.Just save your penny's for an engine swap and do suspension and cosmetic mods.
I know an engine swap sounds hard but it's not and be done for a good price.The y4 is a slooooooow engine,don't spend any money on it.

okay fair enough
how much would a Y8 head cost me???? where can u get them from???

the only reason i have a d16y4 is becasue i needed a car quick if not would of had a b16

A few traders on here have them.Just put up a WTB thread.But like I said unless U know what your doing there's a fair bit of mucking around with the mini-me.Your best bet is to save for a b.
