a non-swap, non fi'ed way to make more hp on a d17.
well, havent tried it yet but how many extra hp will you make a regrounded gude cam/port polished head/11.5:1 high arias compression pistons? or how about the pistons alone... would you have to change youre crankshaft?

Yeah, since they are the bestest friends. lease:
I would go with KMS on the head porting, they have diff stages to choose from. You also might think of crower for the camshaft as well. I just dont trust Gude.
Does Arias make high compression pistons for our cars yet? I heard about some low compression pistons from Turbo discounters, but haven't heard of anyone selling high compression pistons. Or will Arias custom make pistons?
Arias will make custom pistons. There is a form you have to fill out an d fax/mail in for them. You have to include all specs of the stock engine, and what you want to do.
Civic GX (natural gas version) has 12.5:1 pistons. That would get you moving, but you'd probably have to run 100 Octane with that kind of compression. You could deck the engine and bump compression. Definately a good idea to upgrade the valve train, cam and intake track.
I've been thinking about this too for the past couple of days. With the KMS intake manifold out, I was wondering if maybe with that and an SRI, custom exhaust, a regrounded cam, and a cam gear, maybe the D17 would push out 120+ to the wheels, maybe? I've just been toying with that idea...
Okay ive been thinking about this . D17 115 horses stock
D17 , pulleys , cai , exaust, header , cam gear , cam shaft
Kms intake manifold. Whats the horspower on that
It should be like 130 or 125 to the wheels right ?
haha no that's not like 130 or 125 to wheels, have you seen dyno sheets for the d17 engine? you're gonna need more than bolt-ons and a cam to get about a 30 horsepower increase from these engines. the d17s don't respond well to upgrades and aftermarket companies don't put that much effort into designing them for our car. it's gonna take a pretty good amount of work, trial and error, and luck to get a 30 horsepower increase without nitrous or a turbo.
well maybe if you started with a ex thats 113 stock to the wheels
so a 15 horspower increas isnt all that much with all that stuff but
to the wheels is a diff story
