The Clubcivic specs of the d17a2 are wrong btw.If the D17 makes the most power out of D series motors stock, then how come both the a2 and the y8 make 127hp and 107tq? Id rather have a D16 than a D17, due to aftermarket support.
how are u against k swaps, like a k24/20a2 frank?i say just turbo it like snake_shit said...my d17 is turboed and ive beat b-series swapped hatches and turbo d16's all day and im only at 6psi! i acctually bought my manifold and downpipe from him...
Hey hey hey... I happen to have a D17a1 and I can beat ym brother's 1997 ex coupe and We haven't modded our engines that much ( only air filters and intakes...) though I do not think that 01' Lx's have Vtec?d17a2 is lame
the d17a1 is pretty worthless
as far as performance goes.
Dude thats why i would turbo for those last 2 reasons. It'd be worth it fo sho. And i dont know if you guys are aware of how hard it is to build a D17, its really not worth your money. Hopefully a couple guys will back me up on this, but im really surprised at how many people think that they can build a strong D17. Very few have been done.......Im slowly buying parts for a turbo kit for my LX. I'm not looking to get like an insane amount of power or anything. Hell, I still won't even be able to keep up with my buddies who have a WRX, a GTI, an AWD Talon TSI, and my other buddy who has a WS6, I just want the little extra oomph that comes with the extra power. Plus I love hearing the sound of a turbo spooling and then hearing a nice BOV.

for show? lolDude thats why i would turbo for those last 2 reasons. It'd be worth it fo sho. And i dont know if you guys are aware of how hard it is to build a D17, its really not worth your money.

exactly.... for that other 2Kfor show? lol
snake_shit has dynod at 240 hp on a STOCK d17.
240 hp d17 > 200hp k20
i think it would be a close race tho because of the k series trannys. the gears are really close
i have no idea how much his build was but im going to assume around 3g's. A full k swap runs around 5K. he still has another 2k to build. what makes building a D so hard?
not built all motor, snake turbo wouldn't spool in timefor show? lol

for laughs huh......yea... ill be laughing at your ass while im going bythe only reason youd wanna boost the d17 is for laffs and saying you did it. also the vtec head swap on that engine isnt worth it at all.
