Where did you hear there is only one set in the country....? I'm not too sure how accurate this statement really is. I'm sure I could find a few sets, at least.

From a contact of mine he got onto the honda parts database that told him that there was a set of 4 rods in detroit and it said there was only one set. which honestly I would not be surprised honda does not keep to many parts that are not in demand in stock I manged to get the last 4 honda fit diff bolts in the country and I had to wait for them to make the other 6 that I needed I still haven't gotten them yet and I ordered them in july. also the top cone ring that I needed for one of my transmissions no one had it was back ordered throughout the entire country and I was put 21st on the waiting list it took them two months to get that part made and sent to me. I now keep a couple spares from some destroyed transmissions I had.

Reason: specified the bolt
Well shoot. I'll see if I cant get a set, and if not, I'll see what companies will be willing to make some lightweight rods for me. How many people can say they have custom rods in their motor and have it actually be true. We'll have to see what time constraints I get on.
Man, this thread is getting better and better. I hope I go NA with my D17 one day

Not as good as I wanted let me first say the exhaust breathes great and so does the intake mani there is no restriction there what so ever but before I went I knew that there was a wall in there some where and I found it.
120hp and 118tq
The cam is too big for it. there is not enough static compression to make use of the cam. Essentially it need more pressure in the cylinder ie. boost or high comp pistons. the torque band is kinda nice though, it starts at 90 at 2000 rpm is up to 115 @ 2300 rpm and then fluctuates between 100 and 118 all the way to 6500 rpm. And it is soooo smooth the car feels like it came that way from the factory.
I have the stage 2 downstairs in the box so that might go back in last time I had that in I got 144 with the most messed up map ever shitty exhaust and stock intake mani so I should still be able to break 150 easy. But jeff is not going to be scheduling anybody for a tune till mid jan early feb.
I will post my graph up once I get it scanned in so probly tomorrow night.
wasn't a total loss I finally got reliable dyno charts that tell me pretty much everything I need to know about the motor to get the most power out of it in the future. and the car really does run butter smooth it amazing how smooth it is.
was this on a dynojet or dynapack?

it shouldn't be too hard to get a set of gx rods but if some one grabs them before you, you will just have to wait till they make another set probably 2-5 months at most

Are we sure that gx rods and pistons will work... aka, no valve tapping or bending..? It does have a pretty massive dome on it.

When are you going to put high compression pistons in?

they should, the head and the cam shaft are the same as the d17A1 non-VTEC
the only real difference is the fuel delivery system and intake mani cause it is running on natural gas

when I get some money
I have a block on the stand waiting for them to go in i just need new bearings and the pistons. But I am about to quit work to go back to school full time. And with as much chaos and destruction as I have caused to engines and transmissions this year I am a little strapped for cash plus I have a trans that is on the fritz and gets worse every day (it does not like to let go of first gear, i think it suffers from separation anxiety lol) And I have another project for the civic that is going to take alot of time and possibly some more money. did some one say RHD?
well the D17A2 VTec is really close already if you look close at the pistons they have small valve reliefs cut into them just for the stock cam shaft and as we have seen the stage 2 and 3 don't hit them as long as you check that you have not made your valve lash to tight. So I can't see the gx pistons really running into the the valves even with a hotter cam. I would also crank it over by hand a couple of times just to make sure.
For sure. Plus I can always have the reliefs machined a little more to fit nicely- the only real problem with that is when it comes time to calculate compression with those online compression calculators. Unless there is a way to do it manual with your specific motor, although I personal dont know of one, not saying there isnt a way to do it- anyone know?
I need to hit up google and see if I can dig up a chart to show the difference in compression ratios and what type of fuel will be needed to maintain those.
