Boosting D17....waste of time ?
ok for the record with a 1.9 60ft on drag radials 14.2 is possible in a STOCK ITR with ihe u may knock off .3 sec MAYBE but with cams cam gears tuning new valve train a better lsd cause the stock breaks eventually slicks and a good driver u can run a 12.9 on a basically stock internal b18c5 but a d17 running 11 psi isnt gonna be running stock internals if it is show me the man tunning that car cause he deserves props cause its not possible to run that car very long 11 psi in any stock internal engine is suicide

for 11psi, i would only think you would need alcohol injection, forged pistions and rods.

You don't need the alcohol injection if you can adjust your ignition timing.

I guess that a n/a D17 taking 8 yrs to redline is better than a f/i D17

that thing that Dj02 is straight BS. First off there was no type-r's made in the US in 99. and PROVE your little team member hit a freakin amazing 14. whatever in a "full stock 99 ITR" and missed 3rd. im sorry but that made me laugh and at the same time pissed me off, cause i hate it when people talk about **** they dont even know. haha a 99 ITR yeah whatever.

I'm replying to the people talking about needing alcohol or water injection for above 4-5 psi...
I've been running 8psi for a year now, no water or alcohol injection, just a Haltech F5 and 1 additional injector for the fuel, still returnless fuel setup... and absolutely no problems (except blowing off an intercooler pipe one time, but that happens). My timing is still stock, I run 93 octane gas daily (and a 55 gallon drum of 101 in my garage for track days, just in case), and nothing has gone wrong.
I won't say that alcohol and water injection can't help... they can help if used correctly. But they are not necessary to run 8psi or under if you know what you're doing with fuel tuning.

Rep Power: 0 hey i have a 98 civic ex and im really looking to do a swap but im not sure which one would be better. i wanna go with either a b18c1 or a h22a. both r good motors but the h22a has higher torque as well as hp but what it gains in those aspects it loses in weight. another question i had regaurding a swap is if i put a h22a in my car will i have much room to play with such as a turbo???
riceburner: well, from what I've read, you need alcohol injection above 6psi ... the reason it is best to do that is because some of us (especially in cali) are running 91 octane... you are running 93
doog: get the euro accord type R motor ... it is also h22, but not a prelude. it has 10 more torque, same displacement, same hp ... but lower compression ... would be better for a turbo ... fits the same type of engine bay too.
