D17 has alot of potential
 

I took out my civic for a spin tonight (equipped with all the internal work done and high compression) and I must say that I owned a DC5 ITR however it was not by much. Let me be the first to say that the ****ing car pulls very hard from about 2900 RPM :eek: until rev limiter.... OMG I didn't believe that the D17 could have all this potential...... I am gonna get video clips of my next races.....

Sounds good, post vids soon.

turbo, right?

nope full blown NA

YOUR MY HERO!


na is great. but lets see some dyno sheets and some figures on how much u spent to get these dyno numbers

Awsome stuff! I can't wait to see some numbers! :tup: 1/4 mile and Dynos!! :rockon:

i dont know, i'm optimistic. a d17 beating a k20a??? that doesnt sound right...

u can have a d17a2 be very nice with speed, but will never be the fastest, woiuld like to see dyno and 1/4 vid if possible, sounds great

thumbs up for buildin the d. ^^^ And done right the d has potential believe or not. Look at bisi run 10's in a single. And this past friday someone with a "stock" d-series mtr ran and beat a few b16 swap hatches and crx's. Nvr knew how good 2-step and e-cutout sounded on a built sohc

what the? really??

how much did this cost you though? wouldn't a swap be cheaper?

A current model year ITR or the prev. B18 ITR?

dc5 is a current model.

interesting...

pretty crazy if its true.

do you have a mods list? definately post up some clips once you can

I am calling bs until I see some dyno numbers, mod lists, or quarter traps

Thank you.
:tup:

Hey kezay,
wasn't that the motor you had fully built from crower? Since you sent them your motor, they full built it for free, and sent it back to you right?

Sounds awesome! Post the numbers when you can!

I will definately get some 1\4 mile times very soon. My mods list is:
I\H\E (The usual)
P&P D17A2 head (also milled)
AEM Power pullies Alternator only because I don't have a PS pump)
Crower stage 3 cams
Crower valve springs & Titanium Retainers
Crower Stainles steel valves
ARP head studs (tightned to 65 ft lbs)
AEM cam gear
CP forged 11.5 pistons
ACT Extreme 6 puck clutch with extreme pressure plate
ACT prolite flywheel
Tein SS suspension
Energy suspension full bushing kit
Koyo racing Radiator
B&M short shifter
DCS ITR (K20A) injectors


The only thing I need is the AEM EMS so that I could raise the rev limit on the motor.

sounds hot, but prove yourself :tup:

^yep, big bs flag raised over here.

*apr head studs


Pics, numbers, and the usual please........


:haha:

question... why put so much money into a D17 if you already had a DC5 ITR? :shrug:

how many hps can you gain from that kind of mods ? interesting....i never thought D17 will have that kind of potential, thats why i dont modify my engine bay much

LOL! :giggle:

do they actually make arp head studs for our cars or did you use another cars? If so, tell me a part number please.

doesn't seem right but lets see some proof

so no electronics? vafc2 emanage anything?

dyno, pics, mod list please.....:-)...........very effin cool if true....

the way i see it is, IF you can actually make that much power outta the d17, you'll basically be at the max (for making power). so what i'm trying to say is that the d17 will be at its max power point while a k20 picks up where it left off (and still be able to make a whole lot more power).
