in my opinion, the weakest point to the d17 is the cam. once crower comes out with that, paired with the ems, the motor -should- have much better numbers

You need to search first.

first what do you have auto or 5 speed. if its auto forget it. if its a 5 speed wait for the crower cam to come out get that, a cam gear, and vafc2/safc2(piggy back fuel tuning) and tune the cam gear and piggy back on a dyno.
so another 700-800 for 15-20 hp If thats not enough the biggest bang for the buck would be turbo but forget about na reliability they take lots of maintaining and tuning.

hey i have auto and I'm not gonna "forget it". But yea it's gonna take alot cause you're 20whp behind already. Wait for a cam, get aem pullies, look at kms for pnp head, maybe exospeed for some other parts.

I have an auto too. Just what I had to get at the time. Getting T25BB TSI extreme with eManage (all sensors), Apexi TT, and TurboXS HP boost controller put on this weekend. I like driving my car, even if it is an auto.

Listen to what you want before you listen to what everyone else wants though, because if you just wanted to be faster than everyone else, you probably wouldn't of gotten a civic.
