i think both have the same cam, the cam you would want if your staying non vtec is a d16a6 cam from a 88-91 civic/crx si or a non-vtec zc cam...
not too sure on this too but people have been telling me the cams are the same, but my eg with a jdm d15b nonvtec seems to pull harder than just the regular dx eg hatch's...
Ok so get a 16a6 cam, and a d16y7 or d16y8 cam (just re-establishing). What gains can I expect w/what I have already? Can I at least climb that damn hill to get to my house without getting everyone out to push hahaha!? And dude, "myhonda1"... love your car. Love it.

no one really knows how much you'll gain, every car is different, but my guess, peak power will go up only about 2-3 hp, but you'll gain about 5-6 through out the powerband...
so i have the same question about the jdm d15b nonvtec cam, is it the same as the a6 cam, or is it the same as a b7 cam....thats what i'd like to know...if its the same as the a6, i dont want to waste my time swaping a a6 one in...can someone clarify??
ok i just pulled the cam out of my d15b and compared it to the a6 one i have and the d15b2 one i have, the jdm d15b non-vtec is bigger than the b2, but slightly smaller than the a6....all in all, after driving it, the car still seems the same as when i had the d15b cam in it...so to answer the op's question, unless the d15b7 cam is bigger than the d15b2's, they are pretty close to the same size....
maybe it will make a difference on the dyno but cant really feel it...
ok i found out the timing was wrong when i did it, corrected it and yea, the a6 cam really helped alot from like 4500 till 7000, where with the stock cam, it kinda died off after 6500, it pulls strongly up to 7000...
