Just stick with stock pistons and rods. A frankswap with a couple of boltons and Kpro will give you well over 200whp.

I really doubt it, honestly I think the most that could be made with a daily driveable D17 is MAYBE 160whp. To get 200 whp out of a D17 you would have to bore it out to a 2.0, run insane cams, and such a crazy high compression you would be forced to use race gas. Doing this you would never be able to daily drive it and you still may not see 200whp. Also such a build is going to cost around the same amount as a swap.

However I do think that it would be fun to buy an old D17 and have it built to see how much power you could make. You could just pull your engine after the build is done, and set it aside for when you had to rebuild the built motor. I do happen to have a D17 laying around that I would let go for cheap

$350 + shipping it is basically the block and the head, no tranny, PS, AC, etc. It was over reved and I think it may have a bent valve, but you would be rebuilding it anyway. Other than being overreved it was taken care of for its entire life of 30K miles. The only condition is that you have to keep me updated on the build process

BTW I can ship for a halfways decent price depending on where you are from. PM me for more info. I hate whoreing this thread.

well first off that is a d16, which has many more parts out for it then our d17. just go to a local shop, one that actually knows what they're doing, and chat with the guys there. if you're serious about dropping enough $$ to get your engine to 200hp i'm sure they'll be quite friendly =P.
