Agreed I/H/E doesnt really do crap for the d-17. Get a turbo. If you are automatic don't bother fixin up the engine. Throw on I/E for looks and work on appearance! Good Luck and congrats on the new ride!!

If it's AT, don't put a turbo on it? What kind of assanine comment is that? There are *plenty* of turbo AT cars all over the place. There are even quite a few that are on the NOPI drag circut. I know of 2 Supras that come to mind.

By all means, if you want, turbo your AT. That's what I'm planning on doing as soon as I can get all the cash together to afford it.

I say Tune the suspension first. That's one mod that you'll be able to feel and see a difference. Worth every penny IMO.

Yeah, work on the suspension first. Then boost it. Thats what I'm doing.

LOL you misread my post!!

I said GET A TURBO.

I also suggested that if he had auto to go more for looks! Not every has money to do both right away!

Auto turbo would great for someone who cant drive stick. but you'll prolly only be mid 14's but since hes getting 5spd doesnt matter!! lol

I still stick to my previous post! If you want power go turbo and run 13's then woork on looks!! Good luck and happy modding!

You can get an OEM K&N hi flow air filter, grounding kit, and an upper strut bar. A kit would look nice for the outside, and clear headlights (just take out the amber bulb).
