I was reading around about chassis codes, and some dude was all "EM2's are the most unmoddable performance wise" then later on saying throw a k in there (im well aware of k swaps) or a boost and they are fun. What did he mean by that? I reeeeally hope he didnt mean Nos. cheeeesey...

Turbo? When using turbo's people can tune then by upping or lowering the psi. PS i know nothing about turbo's so you'll have to wait for someone else to chime in

Boost is basically turbo or any other type of forced induction. The dude has no idea what he's talking about. There was a member on here that was able to get over 400 hp on the D17 A1 engine. Not even the v-tec-e A2 head was swapped on from what I understand. You just need to be willing to spend lots of money on it.

wow 400 horse... wild..

well thats legit. I have just a stock D17A1, is it even safe to throw a Turbo on it? Would it blow up lol. Engine work is not my Forte.. I know little to nothing..

Mine neither, but if you take all the appropriate preemptive measures then yes you can. Read up on the turbo faq sticky under the "forced inductions & swaps" sub thread if you're really interested.

Nah, he had an a2 head. If you're talking about Andy, that is. An he was rockin 489 whp if I remember correctly. He needed the a2 head to run the crowed stage 3 camshaft

Hmm, I don't know his name because I wasn't on here during his time. His name was supermex. According to the thread i think his real name was hector? I was doing random research on the forum and came across it yesterday yesterday, His dyno sheet says 438. It's the thread i posted above.

ah, different guy then. Andyman had a d17a1 with an a2 head, rockin 489whp and 360ft-lbs of torque. That's the most I've seen from a d17

Makes me want to go turbo in a couple years instead of k swapping

Must be crazy torque steer on a fwd car with that much power, holy

300 to 350 is around the max to go without compromising controllability of the car in the street in a FWD

Boost is that thing that small children use to buckle in properly, slang for booster seat. Throw in a whiny kid and you drive faster, therefore a boost or also known as booster seat.

HAHA well thanks for the explanations guys. I really had no idea a D17 could push so hard. that would be unreal. and take a lot of cash I am guessing..

boost is a a chocolatey nutritional beverage.

As simple as extra pushing power to your engine... You can watch it being used in Fast and Furious 1 movie...
