Re: Detailed D17 NA Build Research- COMMENT HERE!!!!
Oh yeah sorry I have been busy with work and andyman helping him put his engine back inthe manifold is amazing!!!! I haven't had a chance to get the car back to the dyno yet. It beefed up the bottom end of the power band like crazy! I have low end torque from like 1000 rpm to 4000 like mad. the manifold helped out the entire power band though. at 65mph on the highway in 5 gear I step on the gas and it pulls not crazy hard but enough that there would be no reason tho downshift to 4th unless racing. it probably adds almost as much power as just sticking the stage 2 in. To me It's like the K-pro a bit pricey but worth every penny.
Gerry did an Amazing job on this mani it came out really well there are some small fitment and placement issues but nothing overly bad remember it's still a prototype. I haven't had a chance to talk to gerry about the mani since I got it and stuck it on. It took me a couple of days to get everything straightened out with the tensioner and change out a bad head gasket.
I'll try to post up some picks in the next couple of days of it on the car

the piping is a little bit bigger but not much you don't want to go crazy big with everything on an N/A mani or you will loose all of your velocity. the runners actually look a little bit bigger than they really are. Gerry told me that it has 25% more volume than the Y8 mani.

hmmm? I'm not sure whats next could be anything. I'm trying to stay away from head work right the moment because that is really expensive especially the guy I want to use. I think the exhaust is posing the biggest restriction right the moment I have the silencer in cause it's really!!!! LOUD!!! with out it. but I did pull it out a couple of weeks ago for a half hour and I instantly had more pick up in the car. I think a really nice header would help a lot something like a Hy-tech maybe.
As for dyno I just got offered a dyno run from the a local car club for tomorrow but I can't do it cause I have to coach a lacrosse game instead. So I have no clue when I will have a chance to do a pull but my guess would be about 155hp to the wheels possibly something over 175hp to the crank. but I'm not a dyno.lol
Re: Detailed D17 NA Build Research- COMMENT HERE!!!!
a hytech header would be very sexy as well. what exhaust you have on there now? header? i might have missed it somewhere. i got my tanabe hyper medallion and i love it. its nice and quiet.
you should pick up those 12.5 pistons that are in the for sale section that would be a big help on our low comp engines. a 3 : 1 increase in comp would definitely be noticeable with a increase in bore too would give a little more torque. im not sure if a pump gas tune would happen though but im not entirely sure how that works lol.
I would think a 11 : 1 would be awesome with all your other mods and a nice new hytech header. maybe a bisimoto header even? i think i read they were doing other D-series in april so ya. Im excited to see what you dyno at. even if its not as high as you want its still better than most lol hell it could be higher.
sorry if my typing is messed up i had knee surgery two days ago and pain killers make things difficult.

Re: Detailed D17 NA Build Research- COMMENT HERE!!!!
nope sorry no dyno yet i have been really busy and I got HIN with andys car this weekend along with georges bday and then first auto cross is next weekend and the way things are stacking up right the moment it could be almost a month maybe longer before I can actually get it on the dyno but it will run low 15's in the 1/4 mile I think it will hit 14.9 with a perfect run but that is hard to do.
