It's the same engine as the D17a2. In america they add numbers at the end and in japan they don't. The specs are exactly the same.

Where do you get your logic from? You don't think a dohc 2.2 can get over 250 hp? What about the lower displacement engines making close to 300hp, in other cars.

jdm d17a2 is the same as the usdm d17a2. it is just out of the fiero civic. the only diffrence is taht there is a marking on the block behind the header towards the bottom of the block, as well as in the same on the usdm engines. and the wirign harness is a little driffrent well basically backwards becasue the computer is located on the other side of the car from ours. i actually have one and there is no diffrence no one believes me but if yo ucheck alljapaneseengines.com(sp) that is where i got mine from because i bought my car for $5000 with 846 miles on it because the previous owenr hydrolocked the engine. they are a good company if you need an engine my crew has ordered a few engines from them they have really good deals on complete type-r swaps for older model cars. man i shoudl ahve gone wth an older civic i loev the b-series.

oh yeah btw befroe anybody says bs again please read up on japanese emission laws along with some of their otehr car policies there are a ton of engines in perfectly good cars but due to teh superstrict rules and regulations there are a ton of perfectly good cars getting junked and new engines, which means that US companies can buy engines in bulk and sell them for a nice prophit it jsut takes about 2 months to get a bulk shipment of the engines over.
