heres the thing i have an 02 lx and im getting an 02 ex engine. how hard is it to put it in since its vtec. also i want to build it up to hold 20 lbs of boost. i dont know if its possible boring them up to a 2.0 even resleeving it so if any one know let me know what i can do.also is there any trans i can put on that will hold up against racing.

if the engiine is complete its a remove and put in new engine. vtec is in the head and the transmission is the only one for ur car. civics i jave seen hit high psi. built up the internals but havent seen anone bore out the block to a 2.0l. may be better off with a swap if you want that. save the money.

just use the search button and go in forced induction. theres a few hitting high 200whp.

i dont want to do the swap i want to see what can be done with these d17 no one likes them i want to be the one to break that trend

well theres a long list of possiblities. dezod is fabricating some god parts for our cars. along with crower and some other brands you can get some power. still a sohc. but tuning is the most critical for power and safety to the engine

how much can you bore them over, pistons and rods for high boost, cam for high boost, and i cant find a new crank anywhere so. i want to get at least a 12 second 7th gen with out a swap

i hear a new crank pulley is not a good idea. if u search theres a few people who put down some big numbers i see 13's not 12's. unless u swap out the motor for a k series

your not gonna be able to bore a d17 to get to 2L without severly risking your block strength. 20 lbs of boost is a lot, internals is a must and most likely bottom end too, the works its gonna be expensive. good luck though I would like to see a built d17

I would recommend pistons, rods, and a standalone EMS at minimum.

money is no problem. i just need some numbers and get me a list going how much can you bore them over and should i go low or high compresion for high boost

I would not be concerned with over boreing the D17. It actually makes quite a bit of power on the stock D17 bore. If you have more Q's........Pm me.
