engine identification
 

my d17 motor was replaced but I'm not 100% sure it was replaced with the exact same motor that originally came in the vehicle. it doesn't seem to sit exactly the same. i got the motor used and the invoice i have from the junkyard claims it is an 05 motor. is that even possible?
I need to know how to verify d17a2, d17a6, etc. Is it located on the motor itself and where can i verify the engine code? it is an 01 ex coupe

it should be on the block...look behind the radiator under the hose area and you will see a square where it say D17A2....thats the vtec d17

d17a2 is an ex d17a1 is lx/dx

is it slow, or really slow? :P

square area on the block, behind the radiator, to the left (when looking in engine bay) of the exhaust manifold

Engine looks a lil dirty


Rep for the pic though!

I knew someone was gonna say that lol. I dont care just as long as the outside stays spotless

True that! But never hurts to clean it...

that engine is dirty? good lord that this is near perfectly clean compated t mine. theres mud and shit all up in it, even the intake filter is brown.

yea i gotta clean my engine....in the spring :rofl:

I should post a pic of mine then... youd think I lick it clean!

Well, if you're ever hungry, my engine could use a good cleaning.

Really really slow.

Idk... Is it a K swap? Otherwise Ive already had d17 :roflmao: :screwy:

It's a d17, but we can add flavor with some teriyaki.

I need rep for a clean engine! I takes all day to lick the damn thing clean!

hmmm I cant see the dirt... but I know its there! somewhere!

Look a lil closer... but be careful with the hood it tends to drop!

thats a lot less cleaner than gearboxes, i think i see some dirt too

I heard gearboxes is freakin clean... I clean mine once a month at the carwash... So I try to keep it clean...

thanks guys. found what I needed!

Cool, glad you figured it out. Only took like 3 months :lol:


Yes gearbox's engine bay is ridiculously clean in person
