d17 = waste of money
i have spend more than 3,000 dollars on internal arrangements to the engine and didn't earn almost (nothing) Horsepower, sorry for those d17's runners but I have never seen a crappppppppier engine in my life, I am depressed with my car as soon as i finish with payment I'll sell it or burn it.
It is not worth even spend 5 dollars in gasoline to burn

Re: d17 = waste of money
your thread is worthless...maybe you could elaborate a lil more on what you wasted money on so to say..
b.c there are plenty of poeple on this site and others, who make plenty of power out of the d17.

Re: d17 = waste of money
Waste of money? From where I sit, getting 41 mpg highway and 35 mpg city is not a waste of money....particulary since gas went up 15 cents a gallon overnite. As was previously stated, maybe you should have done some research before you started.....or bought a different car to begin with.

Yeah, its a huge waste of money. 375 to the wheels is really shitty for a single cam engine.
Dude, I'm sorry, but you're an idiot.

what is temp sensor resistance??
and i don't see 3k worth of mods there, unless you include the HU, but that still doesn't make it enough
