Re: the D17 does not suck
no there is no reason to by the time you switch over to c16 the methanol just because added weight yeah you could possibly squeeze out more but 400 on the street in a fwd car with a LSD is already too much to handle so why bother unless it is all drag.
the record is held by andyman97 I shot the video of it and helped build that car 489hp on 30lbs of boost and c16 race gas.
the only person that has come really close to beating him out is lsbrazila down in brazil but he has been having trouble getting things together he almost gets it and then something goes boom.
I'd say next in line would be me but it is going to require a different turbo a new custom mani (which i haven't thought up of yet) and new exhaust. that is of course if I even want to go that far to be honest I don't think I do cause 375-400 on the street is too much to handle for FWD and I am just having too much fun where I am at right the moment. If I did try and break it it would be for my buddy george the dc crew and a couple of guys over on 7thgen I don't think it would be for me and it would be a while down the road.

Re: the D17 does not suck
Yeah thats the thing I am already setup for it just a turbo and mani and I am good bigger injectors might be needed but the problem with hitting that high of a number is when you hit the gas on a turbo that big it just doesn't move you have to wait for it. so if I do I will probably try a twinscroll route to see if I can keep power down low.

dynapacks up at jeff evans and jeff's read low the car was making over 500 even though the dyno chart said 489
and I already know what needs to be changed to make more power but I will max this setup now cause a new turbo is going to cost some money

actually when it blew it hit my oil filter so hard that it left the criss cross impression on it from bottom of the manifold and cut a whole in the filter too spraying oil everywhere... it blew my map sensor clear out and the throttle body as well.....the only thing left intact really was the runners bolted to the head.... i dont have too many pieces of it left to take a pic of( as most of it is on the side of the highway lol) but i will take a pic when i get out of work later

If I were to do any type of k20/k24 I'd go for an Integra over an em2 Way more possibilities, overall lower cost and you can mange much more of a boost coming from em2 owner lol (04 Lx)
