D17 sohc vetc performace uprgrades??

[h3ctor91]

What can i do to this lil engine to get more hp. Besides intake,headers, and exhaust.. I would like to do sum head work. Wt do u guys recommend and i dnt want a turbo i prefer all motor.. Help pliz and sum prices on how much i would spend.

[Starrfire]

Just do intake header exhaust. The d17 is a waste of money for all motor applications. Nitrous is the only thing I'd do past that and that is pushing it. K20 is about your only upgrade worth doing and staying all motor.

I normally agree with this man but this post is Ive seen k swaps get beat by b series and h, unless hes talking serious competition which the k would be your best option but not impossible with a b or h.

off topic, but most K-Swaps around town all all bullchit. nearly every kswap ive seen (minus a palm full) are ghetto rigged, untuned, getto built setups that dont even have the good K engine to begin with.

you would not believe how many people out there think that every K is the same, and that no matter what K you get you will be fast. tsk tsk

Not worth it man, but if you must insist you got to do the intake, header and exhaust or you wont have that open performance inhale and exhale if you cant breath you cant performe

[Relentless]

im doing a k swap into a 01 civic at the moment, cause the d17 didnt work out too well...not really much you can do

[h3ctor91]

Aite thanx guys..sooo who wana buy my d17?.. So i can buy a k20 n a typeS tranny

[Starrfire]

buy the swap and EVERYTHING you need to put it in before you go selling what makes your car run because the funds from a d17 ain't gonna get you very far.

^^^You do understand he has an 01 up civic. There is no B/H swap for those. K swap is basically it for him.

[Relentless]

[Starrfire]

yeah most k's have the gay style of ivtec not the more performance aimed one like civic si's and the rsx type s

[Relentless]

[h3ctor91]

So wt are the bad k20's? Cuz im lookin into a k20Z4 or a k24a2 And goin all motor.

[Starrfire]

k20a3 is the gay balls

[Relentless]

^^^yeah thats out of the ep3...the k20a2 & k20z1 are the good ones i know of that runs hard

[RBS]

the k24a2 is also a good motor, very nice torque numbers stock

[Relentless]

^^x2

[xero_xero]

ther are a few civics running around that have the H or b swap that is MEAN. they are flat custom and mega money.

hasport make mounts for the K swap into the 01-05 civic with the D series. if you have a manual, everything is under the hood then. os for the K24, it is screaming for a turbo application.

i would like to see the f20c/f22c or a j32a2 swapped into one of these.

[Scotsman]

i'll buy your d17
