Here's what I've been up to.....Pics inside Took about 4 hours off work to strip the head off and pull the crank out http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0591.jpg Crank http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0592.jpg Main Girdle and OEM pistons and rods http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0594.jpg Turbo, manifold and downpipe http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0595.jpg Sexy intake manifold, made by JDM Fabtech (thanks again, Gerry) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0596.jpg Can you say one of a kind d17 intake manifold with velocity stacks? http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0597.jpg Wiseco piston and crower rods (4th set is in the block because I was checking clearances http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0598.jpg Going into this... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0599.jpg Running on these up front (until I borrow slicks from a friend) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...7/IMG_0600.jpg Block is being notched tomorrow. As soon as I get it back, it's going to the machine shop for a fresh hone and hot tanking. Once I get it back, I should have all of my new main and rod bearings in and I can complete the rebuild. Then polish it all up and put the head back on and drop it in. I'm really shooting for July 1st but we'll see how long it takes. I'll keep progress and pics coming in this thread as I go. Enjoy. |
Nice Dezod pistons, Dezod EL manifold and downpipe. :) |

No, I was actually saying shite :D |

impressive |
HecK who? What? (inside joke between us) |
Looks great so far. You better get a video of this monster when its done. What hp are you aiming for? |
cant wait to see the turnout |
thats amazing keep us posted bro |
hotness |
damn, the SSM's be puttin the power down. |
350 whp is the goal. A low 12 on dr's and a high 11 on slicks. Don't know how close I'll get but I will beat a 12.5 guaranteed. Holy shit, when did I hit 2k posts. Damn, I never post, lol. |
Dam man nice and sexy. are you doing anything to the head??? |
At the moment, no. In the future, probably. Nothing I will speak of yet. My sponsor and I are negotiating currently.... And btw, in case anyone was wondering, I am running the AEM for management. Also, has anyone else done a full Honda engine build, THEMSELVES, not your shop? I was just wondering how many avid builders we have (the only person I know of is turboengnr...) Oh and one last thing to caveat this post. I have seen some claims of people making decent power on d17's but thus far, the highest I have seen proof of was hector's dyno of like 250-ish whp. I know he swears he made over 300 whp but I have seen nothing to back that claim. I've also heard that Barney has supposedly broken the 300 mark also but again, there was no proof anywhere. I'm not going to make a ridiculous claim that I have hit a number without providing something to back up my claim. Anyways, I'll be glad to show once and for all that d series motors, when built properly (and even on a budget), are no joke. |
ive helped on a few honda engine builds, and currently working on a very slow k20 build |
its loooking good man |

yea i have to agree though. people are like "d17 sucks" and im like, you don't know... |
about damn time you got to working on that thing |
I know, right? Block is being notched as we speak. I will pick it up tomorrow and bring it to the machine shop for a fresh hone and hot tank, ahhh, squeaky clean block. Unfortunately, I am sure I won't get the thing back until Monday or Tuesday, in the meantime, I'll be waiting for my bearings and plastigauge to come in. So hopefully everything will be here around the same time so I can reassemble the block and put the head back on, yada, yada. Fun stuff, I'm excited though. I should have this thing running in no time. |
What exactly is hot tanking? Is that done to clean the engine? Also isn't it not as effective anymore, since the environmentally safe chemicals are not as strong? Just trying to make sure I have the right idea here. |
awesome. can't wait to see the numbers.:tup: |

oh ok. thanks for the clarification on the chemicals. |
i hope you hung up your crank and just didn't leave it on the bench like that cause they can warp.. if they're left lying down.. not sure how long it takes for them to warp but they can.. |

You dam right, still the higest with the FIRST build D17 that works! :tup: And untill you show me yours at 350 whp with your engine working not breaking:giggle: YOU ARE NOT ALOUD TO TAKE A SHOT AT ME :screwy: Oh, and you are welcome for the information on notching the cylinder walls, the correct ARP head stud part # and the piston part #, yes, Race Enginieering use my D17 block to develop the Wiseco pistons you are so convently using now the part #was posted on this site years ago by me. All hands on, building my own engine, doing research, even taking a step by step pictures and sharing it with you. You should be thankfull.;) Heck |
