I think if we can get those numbers in the block without turbo we can get a better powerband. i'm am looking to try and build both a d17a2 and k20a for my ride. to see which one would pan out better in the long run. i know that everyone swears by k20a like skunk2 did the 700hp monster, but the engine we have basically can do better imo.
its impossible to do a d17 86mm bore, and obviously a k20a can do more power than a d17... and if I have the money to build both, a d17 and a k20a, then I will be building an NSX or something like that.

I hate to bump such an old post, but did carrillo ever release these rods?
I emailed them awhile back, and have yet to hear anything. And they dont list them in thier catalog.

Yes. But I don't know if Dezod is still going to be carrying them or not since they are not going to be selling D17-specific turbo bits anymore.
