hmm...well, its the shitty d17. but as any motor it can be modded for higher power. so i really don't know. i don't hate my car. its my project and no one elses, and i hate to see all these people be blind to how some d16s have been boosted to 400hp and up.
k-swap has been beaten to death IMO. and im not doubting the potency or not giving credit. cause they ARE the shit. but i don't feel like spending 8k to swap a k motor into my car. i could spend 3-4 and build a spare block and build my own turbo kit. i just wish people would respect other peoples decisions on what path they take to modding. my 2 cents.
