I have a set of Web camshafts(Grind 148E) that I had in my previous 88 Integra. The cams worked very decent and the Idle was like stock. Since then I replaced my engine with a suppose factory replacement japanese engine(87 Brown Top). The reason I say" suppose" is because I can't find the freaking stamp on the block yet, but I will have time this saturday thanks to the help and info from other group members. Anyhow I was told that these Web cams may not work properly on my current engine if indeed my engine is a JDM-ZC beacuse the intake cam needs a slighty more aggressive grind. I checked the Web Cam web site and they do list 86-00 Integra cams as well as 86-89 Integra ZC cams.
Has anyone with 86-89 Integra ever installed performance cams for a D16A1 engine in to an 86-89 ZC-JDM motor? and did it work properly?
On a side note, Does anyone know the duration on the intake & exhuast stock D16A1(USDM) cams as well as the ZC-JDM(86-87 Integra) cams?
I will try to cut & paste the cam spec info from the webcam web-site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. These set of web cams have been sitting under my bed boxed away for almost 4 years and I want to have them install once again.

Thanks, Ed.

It's good to hear that the 148e grind worked well in your 88 Teg. The Web Cams site shows only cams for the 86-89 ZC, therefore I assume they should work in your engine if indeed it is a ZC.

If you check the site below you will see three sections for Acura and please notice that the first two DO NOT show any cams for a D series engine. The third/last section shows the grind you state for ZC,s only.

Here is another site that will give you comparisons on the grinds:
