your coming in at a good time... this year is the 'year of internals' for the d17 i believe. i dont thing 150-200 whp is out of the question anymore with NA... however its going to cost you... sleeves, rods, pistons, cams, valvetrain, return fuel conversion, head gasket/studs etc etc. but turbo is still the way to go on the d17, it holds boost well, especialy with internals. check out dezod's turbo kit.

Ok to be completely honest with you i am just now getting into the whole tuner scene i used to drive a big lifted truck so this whole concept is all new to me i know enough to know what i need to do but all of those numbers and stuff dont make a whole lot of sense to me. i want some injectors probly rails and i need ecu stuff too.

if you look on your engine the engine code for it would be d17a2

intake-aem v2 or k&n fipk 2/header-depnds on what state/exhaust-pretty simple cam gear-aem 5 bolt, pullies-such as aem tru power pullies, cam soon-from crower, vafc2-used for changing vtec engagment and air/fuel mixture, high flow cat-random tech, but most people will say spend the money on suspension

try www.tunermarket.com, they're a comparison shopping site. they have tons of brands, I'm sure they have stuff for your 05, plus all their sellers are certified, so it's not screwy like ebay...

You can even set your car to make searching easier, I dunno if they have updated to 05 yet, but like the other guy said, the motor is the same, so just set your car as an 04....

it really is a good shopping tool....

if you dont have the money for turbo or engine swap, i prefer just doing general bolt-ons such as intake, header, cat-back exhaust. it wont make you go crazy fast or add much horsepower unfortunately.

i prefer the K&N fipk II, a short ram intake. it has good reviews and my friend loves it as well. for catback exhaust, i would prefer magnaflow. they sounds really good because its deep and you dont have that highpitch ricer noise. and if your cars stick, a revo short shifter would be nice too. glad you interested in the import scene, good luck with your car.

First of all you are uneducated and throwing parts on your car? What a waste of money....I am not trying to be mean, but I am speaking from experience. Become educated first. There is a ton of info on this site if you just take a few weeks to read it rather than asking question after question after question. We are more than willing to help but you have not
1) given us a clear idea of what you want to do with the car
2) told us your budget
3) told us what you DO know!!

We can't give you advice without knowing how you plan on using the car (show, drag, autox, road race, sound)

There are a lot of smart people on this site and there are a lot of dumb ones too. So you also need to learn who to take advice from and who not to take advice from.

I can do a lot with engines and stuff my problem is i just dont know where to find most of it who makes the best stuff and what order to go in right now i have about 1500 to screw around with. I do all of my lights and crap myself, i have l.e.d. underbody, 90 inches of led inside my car, about 215 inches of neons inside i have hpd poison spinout rims pirelli tires, i put an aem intake on and weapon r headers and exhaust. i just dont know where i should go from there, some say turbo, some say fuel system and ecu, some say nitrous (which i aint stupid enough to do that before replacing interior engine components.

Ok well first off adding more fuel or playing with the ECU on pretty much a stock D17A2 is a HUGE waste of money.
Also... if you're looking for speed... air ride is the wrong way to go. An air ride system is extremely heavy.... this is more for show purposes.

Running nitrous doesn't necessarily require you to build your internals. Nitrous is safe to use as long as you get it installed and use it properly.

Your best bet is to go Turbo. Best bang for the buck on our cars.

Well like I said, become educated on what parts exist, what others have said about them, and where you want to go with your car. There is a reviews section and you can always use the search button. There is always an FAQ at the top of most forums. Read them. Read what the moderators suggest because they have been around awhile and know what parts exist and what parts are good. So if you are interested in turbos/FI ask Havok or the other guys in FI section. For suspension ask me, boilermaker1, zzyzx. For lighting as infinite012.
