Building a N/A D17A2
thanks ronaldo, man u need to put some new vids of ur car tuned : )
i think i might just do stage 1 cuz its cheaper and im not looking for much gain, so ya. and no idle...cuz im a everyday driver
(not that the idle was that bad in the video, it sounded tight lol, but i would get tired of it over time i would think. and even more so with a engine torque damper)

I was looking into building a n/a car. After plennnty of research, I realized, it wasn't worth it. Our d series engines are no good for bolt ons. We don't drive camaro's where i/h/e will give you 60hp.
If you're wondering what I did do instead since N/A was useless, well, I bought a turbo

Rep Power: 256 which aftermarket crank? to date ive not seen a stroker kit for the d17. i looked and looked when i built my motor. no one is going to make a stroker kit unless you prototype one. ive got a few h22 and 1 h23 crank ill sell you. they might work. this is like the dude that said he destroked his d17 to a d16 and all the d16 bolt ons worked on his d17.

Re: Building a N/A D17A2 
Everyone was doggin this engine until dyno's started coming out with 375+...granted that was turbo, but what would have happened if they listened to people telling them "its not worth it"? Everything is worth it, its the experience, its the joy of working on your car, its the fact that people are telling you it won't work. If someone wants to spend money on a D17A2 N/A I say go for it man. Do what makes you happy. As for anyone thats ******* him, instead of being negative about it, how about giving him some advice on products like he asked for. Good luck man.

What he said. Theres not even a point of putting your money and hard work towards another like 40 hp.

A n/a 40whp bump can be achieved for under $2500, but to achieve 160whp n/a reliably then $10k isn't unreasonable.
This grave digging thread bump is done.

Are you asking if you can spend only ~$3500 on internals (high res pistons, shaved head, race valves, I'm assuming?) and run 13 second quarter mile times?
Or are you saying that's what you've done?

I find it hard to believe you're running 13s at a drag strip with never having been on a dyno, even for a tune. Unless you're talking about an 1/8 mile track, then I got nothing.
