I was thinking of getting a used head and getting it ported and polished and possibly a 3 angle-valve job. has anyone had any experience with this at all? im sure with the d17a i wont see a huge increase in HP gain but every little bit helps. thanks
i heard you get alot of power out of it.....think about it this way d17a2 have a higher comprossion ratio and more displacement and have the same hp as the d16a2....the d17a2 just doesn't breathe well....i've heard that with a catback, headers, intake, and port and polish the d17 puts out about 170
bluebullet - that's probably got some truth to it, but it's gonna take some waiting for a company more reputable than GUDE to come out with a head pkg or some major custom work.
170 HP no, but a considerable amount yes. the D17 sux at breathing. its very resticted. if you can open up the air flow better the engine will put out better amouts of HP. in that sense it does somewhat have potential. internals is what will make our car fast. the turbo is good but running it a low boost level kinda sux. the internals will help everything out. our D17's can be somehwhat quick with much money invested. and i'm really interested in seeing the results of the regrinded cam gear.
I have my whole motor almost complete. I am getting it done by brevard cylinder head here in merritt island florida.
HEAD:
Port and polish (exhaust port bored 1/2 inch then beveled & intake bored 1/8 inch then beveled)= $300
4 angle valve job = 200
light weight and 2 mm bigger valves = $350
Custom intake manifold = $350
Custom throttle body (70 mm) = $400
BOTTOM END:
Bore and sleeve the cylinder walls = $750
Stud the head instead of bolts = $300
JE lower compresion racing pistons = $550
Shot peened rods = $120
This makes our motor good for 30 pounds of boost. The turbo only puts out 22 psi. The only thing holding us up is rods. They don't make rods yet so we have to get them shot peened. Shot peened rods are only good for about 12 pounds of boost. After the SEMA show we might have custom rods made.

EDIT: Found out that rods will be here after SEMA show. So we can run about 20 pounds of boost.
Hey way to go man. I decided to go the other way around with going k20a, but for 8k, thats not bad. I hope you are running higher than 300hp to the wheels though with that setup. Good luck with everything!

I am currently starting another D17A2 if anyone is interested in buying a fully moded internaly and turbocharged motor. My next step after this motor is to start in on the k series.
