hello i was wondering how much conversion would be needed to put a 2001 honda civic engine d17a2 in my 95 hatchback.
i currently have a 95 d15b sohc vtec engine in there with a d16y8 port and polish head and all the natural aspirateds mods you can think of in there, i/h/e, clutch flywheel,fpr, 70mm throttle body, obx intake manifold because i can get one very very cheap and just thinking aboutn this, i also have some zc pistons can these work in that engine ? can i just use the bottom end of the d17 and put the d16 head on it ? or no ? i wanna build a natural aspirated minime setup

i think that it would be lots of work if it can actuall be done. Why not go with a b18...........lol

i dont think the d15b parts will work in the d17 motor. and it sounds like u have a decent motor right now, SOHC VTEC with some internals and boltons. why go to a SOHC VTEC motor that doesnt have many internals out for it and dont reponse very well to bolt ons? kinda sounds pointless to me.

I'd rather stay with that D15 considering all you have done to it. If you're gonna go to the trouble of swapping, go with a B- or K-series motor. You'll be a lot happier with your results.

yeh im gonna just get a d16 bottom end then since everything i have can work on it and put the zc pistons in and create a high compression na monster with 12 or 13 compression ratio but i was just thinking about the d17 because i can get it much cheaper and it has 7lbs more torque

 
Rep Power: 366

Yeah. It might have 7lbs more torque, but it's also got no response to mods and no aftermarket.

this might sound stupid.
but why?!

theres a reason why people are swapping our engines with k20s or boosting.
there are so many other engines out there that will be alot more cost effective.

yak now what it doesnt sound stupid ... honestly if you are gonna do a swap do a b16 or b18 or h22, or 23... something with a lil cojones to it

 
Rep Power: 0

Honestly... our D17 nor will the K series fit under his hood. Its pointless to do the install anf if you would want to your dumb because for the same cash you can get a motor that will fit like a B16 or B18 and be 30 times faster!

not true ive seen a vid of a k20 inside of a 92-95 hatch

The K does fit. There's mounts for DC2, EK, and EGs coming out now and in the next several months. Dimensionally, the K20 is actually smaller than a B-series.

oh yeh i have a stage 3 zex cam and a mugen ecu vtec 4700 redline 10,000 and port and polish head so much stuff i dont remember and i have beaten a few modified b16 and b18's and now im putting in high comp pistons so ive gone to far with this engine and i love it and dont have the money right now to swap to thats the story and thinking maybe spray like a 50 shot

If I know what car your talking about its a Drag car and thats a whole other story.

 
Rep Power: 0

that is still a pointless swap, i would get an h23, by the way are you looking for a h23 block, go tone for sale, hit me up if interested

it's not a drag car. i have the vid.

Rep Power: 0

theres like at least ten k swapped egs in toronto its not the hardest swap in the world to do. hasport makes mounts for like 500-600 bucks and its good from there

Resurrection of a 2003 thread!

How do you guys even find these freakin threads...

 
Rep Power: 0

look the d17a2 swap is point less belive me i have one, if you are going for the swap try to get a b18 or a b16 or a k20 but there are kind of expencive, you can fit anything into that engine bay i have seen j-series(honda V6) engine on 95 hacthback. they have one in youtube with a v8.futhermore, if you really want to kick some major *** with a naturally aspire engine try to get a b20 block from a crv with a b16 head.

wow the hell did this come from I don't think I even know how to search for something this old

look the reason why websites like this are done, is so can people can get inform about things that they dont know ,you knew it, but maybe the guy who start this the thread didn't, so please keep stupid comments to yourself .

 
Rep Power: 321

it would only be worth it if your getting the b20 block for really cheap because you would have to swap out the internals of the block since the rods on the b20 are a lot weaker then the b18 and not be able to take advantage of the vtec head.

your better off just getting a b18c1 and boring it out to 2.0L.
