How Come we can't 43 more HP?

"Better breathing starts at the intake, so engineers fitted a custom high-flow manifold that feeds stock heads that were ported, polished and decked. A custom header directs the outward flow into a 2-inch exhaust system and a sport muffler. Taken together, these tweaks result in a solid 43 horsepower increase for a total of 170. "

Thats also Hondas concept coupe, and its 01-03 body style. Thats weird cause they already released the new Si Concept at the Detroit auto show and it definately doesnt look like that.

too much for what it does, you need forced induction in a D17, go Turbo or Nitrous dont bother building it, or you could save all the money you have and buy a better platform to work with e.g. K20a2, k20a3, k24/20 hybrid......actually feel some improvement over your stock power and then build a K-series and get some real ponies

43hp is a lot 170 hp gives it more hp than the current si and the coupe is significantly lighter.

but then again that performance option was never added. if you want a sporty civic, you have to get an Si/SiR.
