Brian Crower Stage 2 NA Drop In Camshafts Civic SOHC VTEC D16Y8 D16Y6 Cams

This drop-in cam requires minimal tuning and offers double digit horsepower gains without serious modifications. This would be the perfect next mod for an all motor D16Y8 with bolt ons like intake and exhaust.


We recommend also purchasing an AEM Adjustable Cam Gear to allow you to degree this cam after install, making sure you get the absolute most potential power out of the cam install. You can add one to your cart below.

Brian Crower is known for making high quality camshafts that make power without breaking the bank. There is no other cam manufacturer on the market that gives you more value for your dollar, and the parts just work. We use them in our own cars and we encourage our customers to use them as well.
