Re: D17 evolution occuring....witness it 1st hand!
Dezod,
will I be able to buy it as a single peice (not a whole kit), and can I buy just the exhaust adapter (from the turbo to the factory crap) on its own too? (thinking of making my own kit with some very nice peices from you guys, maybe a t25 and a small end inlet to end outlet intercooler, my own custom piping, the works)
thanks
PS - Looks good!

The T's are always stupid thick compared to straight pipe or elbows for some reason. It really sucks cutting a wastegate hole into a T.

Holy ****.
Set one aside for me please Paul! I think I don't really care how much it will cost. That thing looks like sex if you could make a mold and cast it.

That just goes to show all the folks that poo-poo'd the D17 when it came out and never would have believed anyone could make over 250, let alone 400 at the wheels on our engines. "Waa. No support. Waa. No one has parts. Waa. Its got VTEC-E." Stick that in your B-series and smoke it!

Now who would have that you would ever have seen THAT in a civic forum?

uhh well... it still costs a hell of a lot of money to make this car have over 300 wheel horsepower,
opposed to me being able to boost my k20 that comes stock in my car and making 300 wheel easily.... for thousands less.

300whp on several cars is expensive, not just the D17. Look at the platform and component comparison. K20 derives stout internals from the factory with a base power of 160-180whp, while the D17 is flimsy from the factory and makes 90-100whp.

You couldn't be more wrong. I guarantee I can get an em2 with a d17 (already there) to 300 whp than swapping a k series and making 300 whp. The only additional things a d17 need are pistons, rods, cam and valvetrain. Tell me that equates to a 7k motor swap....

you couldn't have misunderstood me any more
I was referring to my civic si that already HAS a k20 in it.
which was in reply to this guy

I was responding back to his sarcastic response. The fact of the matter is you can't compare the amount of money it takes to actually make a d17 have 250 horsepower, (god forbid 400) opposed to other cars to have 250, and I was giving an example... my car, for thousands less.
I didn't mean for this to get off topic,
now I need to go back to convincing sir paul on working on the SI's
