LOL all I read was "Get Dezod to"....

But I wanted to go N/A before I started to buy my turbo parts, so I will support the cause.

GO N/A!!!!!

supporting the cause would be buying NA parts when you are actually going to turbo your car... wtf mate?

 
Rep Power: 251

I am also a fan of N/A. I would like to see what the D17 can do. I didn't know "supporting the cause" meant I had to go and buy parts that don't exist yet???

umm.. well if you'll already be turbo charged what's the point of buying NA parts? i thought you said you already had turbo parts

 
Rep Power: 251

LOL I have no idea what you are talking about. I never said that I was going to go N/A. I said "I am ALSO a fan of N/A". I didn't say I am also a fan of N/A, so I am going to sell all of my turbo parts and buy N/A parts. LOL this is really stupid. There is no point in arguing and we are going off topic.

BACK ON TOPIC!!!

that's my point... if you aren't planning on actually buying the part, you aren't actually supporting this... so back on topic, what other parts would people be interested in? current list seems to be

*throttle body
*NA P&P
*intake manifold

The problem is, is that the amount of people who would buy would be far less for him making NA parts, because the gains wont be NEARLY as significant as FI. In terms of price, NA R&D and client prices are MUCH higher then FI R&D and client prices. Haven't you noticed you see alot more people running around with turbo kits, then full on NA builds... there's a reason for this

wtf, that got me confused. Circle logic?



I'd be interested in a part that could produce some fairly decent gains. I really understand where you’re coming from in having to make a decent investment upfront, being a 4th year accounting student.

So why didn’t I put a number down? Well, its the money issue at the moment! Bought the vic, and drained the funds... *sigh*

I really hope you guys are able to get this off the ground! I'm def. in support of this though (although unfortunately, not financially)

n/a all the way

That guy keeps asking for acid WTF? But seriously i would love to get some quality N/A parts made for my D17a2, turbos are cool and all but N/A's done right are just nasty.

^ unless you're joking you're an idiot... LSD = limited slip differential

ok... "go NA" "turboes suck" "i wanna go NA" "i support NA" don't help... please name parts you'ld like to see. i think mostly it's been covered:

*IM
*TB
*NA P&P
*LSD (applies for all)

If i was still into modding the d17 I would definatly buy an LSD. Probably be one of the best mods you can get for the car for the price. Next to nitrious.

To get any power from NA, the whole air induction system has to be reworked including what ricergribbs mentioned. I personally don't think that IM, TB, P&P, cam, valves, springs, and LSD will get you anywhere but to about 140hp, unless you rework the bottom end. Not that I disagree with NA, but for this application it won't be worth the cost of building the entire engine for it.

 
Rep Power: 253

AGREES...

 
Rep Power: 335

i am interested in na d17 too...wonder what the potential is....of course it would be carb legal...

 
Rep Power: 412

To get any power from this engine with NA, nothing will be carb legal...sorry.

And I really don't want to bash NA because I have thought about it. But the more that people try with this engine and don't see much results, it just isn't worth it IMO. Sure a cam and a good tune couldn't hurt, but not for the $1000 price tag.

may be some itb's and high comp pistons like 11-1-1

and don't forget if something is made, will it be made for the ex or the lx style. cause a lot of people with lx are getting the short end of the stick with everything

 
Rep Power: 379

not really all the parts for the EX you can use on the LX/DX, except the cams on the market, but with a head swap you can use it. If anything the EX guys were getting shorted because most of the turbo kits were made to fit the LX/DX in the beginning.

 
Rep Power: 305

That was due to the fact that the first prototype car was a LX model. It was just a simple matter of fabbing a new downpipe.

either way, if the parts are there. people are going to buy them. simple fact

What ever happened to this whole thing?
