D15y4 Civic Cam swap

Hey,
I’m currently running a D15y4 1.5L ex VTec-e, and am looking at doing a cam swap. I’ve read a lot on the Crower Stage 1 cam, although I’m not sure if it will fit/what modifications will need to be done.

Any info on this subject would be much appreciated!

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

Hmm, yeah it looks that way. Is a regrind the only decent solution then?

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

yes, but you will need to send your cam.
not sure if they have the profile in NZ.

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

A Google search says they use the same head and cam but I'm not sure.

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

Yeah, theyre virtually the same head. I read that the cams are the same for the D17 &D15. If I were to get a regrind, would these be the correct specs? 🧐

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

yep
since you seem to have read the sticky thread, be aware they might not be able to get full specs

Re: D15y4 Civic Cam swap

The guy said he didn’t know anything about my engine and said it would be more trouble than what it’s worth.. he suggested just do a d16 swap 😂
