Rep Power: 0 when you figure out the gearing you can count on me for that too eventually.. i want a shorter 1st.. then the rest somewhat similar, with my custom ideas.. also, i want to figure it out so we can start dropping quaife;s in our cars already and get some damn traction

Rep Power: 0 The NA Motor Comes with high Comp Pistons and New Bearings, plus those little goodies, but the Turbo Setup Comes With FORGED Pistons, and EAGLE Rods, plus all the goodies, and the blockguard of course. I dont supply block guards unless in the motor. Pretty soon we will be machining our own custom to each block. If you have our bolt ons and ported head you can easily see 500 HP on 20 PSI wouldn't be hard at all. Heck we made 738 at the wheels on a B16 with 20 PSI. Let me know if I mised anything.

Rep Power: 0 400 Hp Na huh. You better get our H23 Vtec then built to the max. Looking to spend around $13,000 I'll make you 400 HP at the wheels. Not to mention the $10,000 you will spend on suspension and axles, and a roll cage you will need. Get ready to spend 25 grand preparing a car to make 400 wheel HP on the motor.

Rep Power: 0 Well if you send me a D17 tranny or I will go down and find a motor this weekend, and see what I can do with the tranny. I am sure I can find some 4.7 gears like in older HYdro Civics. There is a way, but with the auto I would be more inclined to say do the changeover. I am not familar with upgrades available to the AUTO trannys for the D17. NA Motors with all upgrades range around 180-200 Wheel HP. The longblock is around 130-150

Rep Power: 412 yeah i want to know if you can bore it out, either to a 1.8 or a 2.0. i would really be interested if a 2.0 short block could be made from the d17. I plan on learning more about N/A tuning so i wanted to see if the engine can be bored out that far and still be protected.

Rep Power: 0 2.0 You better be looking to stroke, and bore that bad boy to reach those numbers. I wouldn't recommend pushing to that limit. If you want go 2mm over but with sleeves, and it better be an all motor setup. On Turbo I don't see the need unless you plan on trying to compete in NHRA events, and rebuild your motor frequently. Those are race numbers, and I would be more inclined to think you would go with a 1.8 on bore numbers, and do the things that make the real power......Port Work, Bolt-Ons, and if you aren't satisfied with high compression.....BOOST IT

Rep Power: 412 i figured a 2.0 would be too much. I know that 2mm over stock would be a good option except no one makes a 1.9L. 3mm might be too much. If we were a 1.6 then you can bore to a 1.8 or a 1.8 to a 2.0, but a 1.7 is hard to do. 1.8 liter isn't much at all to go N/A with and I don't really want to boost though I know that it is a good bang for the buck. 1.8 wouldn't do nearly as much as a 2.0 but the possibility of doing it has yet to be seen.

Rep Power: 0 I mean everything we offer for the motor. Full longblock build, custom manifold billet throttle body, pulley, fuel regulator, clutch, flywheel, the works. You can make your 1.7 whatever. It's not based on doing it by .2 in the displacement. If you bore your motor and combine it with chamber volume, ect... then you get your actual displacement. I could make your motor a 1.9, but I would suggest just 1mm over stock all the work to the motor, and if you don't like it to much go custom with one of our Stroked SOHC Blocks like I have.

Thanks for answering my questions Josh. Maybe we can talk through IM or PM about it more later. I don't want to jack the thread with tons of questions.

Rep Power: 0 I am glad to see you guys are working on every part of the car and see our needs for stronger parts. Speaking of which, I was wondering of how to keep the gearing the same or maybe making a taller final gear and making those gears stronger, especially with stronger synchros. Make it equivilant to something of a gsr tranny
this may be a stupid question but i just ordered the sf turbo kit
and if somewhere down the road i decided to get the turbo short block would there be a problem with the axles ? meaning would there be too much torque created that it would break the stock axles ?
and what effects would all this have on the tranny as well ?

Rep Power: 0 That's a very good question about the axles. You may want to upgrade if you are planning on running high boost. The D17 aren't like GSR axles where Dave was able to run 10's, but I would see them being able to hit 11's if you know how to side step a clutch and no pummel the axles all at once.
