does anybody have faith in the dc17 motor?? I just picked up my canadian si and enjoy it but reading some posts in here it sounds pretty negative as far as bolt-ons and getting good bang / buck out of them.
kind of wished our engine was as good as the B16A - or they would drop the new Sir engine in the coupe body style.
oh well i guess
is there any hope of getting some HP out of our little motor?

Rep Power: 0 ya i guess nitrous is an answer,
i just read an article where they did headers, intake and cat exhaust and only got 5 HP..........that sucks imo
by the time you swap out the d17 for a k20 the cost puts our car right up there with a rsx type s....... i dunno

Give it some time, HP had a header/cat setup that netted 15HP, but the installation was tricky so they apparentlly stopped producing it, lost revenue from too many uneducated returns I presume. I don't know that the 5th or 6th gens went right to bad *** power increases, but I think if n2o forced induction doubles the torque "A full 170.9 hp, a 60-hp increase compared with no nitrous. Even more surprising was the torque increase, from the stock 103.6 lb-ft at a high-ish 5000 rpm to a whopping 210.7 at a low 3500 rpm. Torque in a bottle, indeed." -Honda Tuning Magazine. Than other forms of forced induction make sense as well. It's a new engine design and setup and it's just going to take the aftermarket a little bit longer to figure it out, but I wouldn't be suprised to see 11 second 7th gen, daily drivers, in a few years.

Rep Power: 0 I read somewhere how the most sought after B engins, at one time, were at the point you couldn't give them away. couldn't really do much with them at the time, but now they kick @$$.
