D17A2 - All motor project plan(s) - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

parr`sh · 06-20-2005, 08:19 AM

Yeh, I am an idiot. But I want to see just what an all engine D17A2 can do before I boost it (if I even boost)

Someone Tell me what I can expect from all this....

Ported / Polished Junkyard D17A2 head if I can find one
*Intake MAnifold D16 Venom (or bored out D17A2 Intake / Throttle Body)

Je Pistons (decent brand? I don't know much about them)

Crower Stage2 Camshaft
Crower All Motor Rods
Crower Valvtrain Kit

(I need some retainers and springs?)
(I need some bigger injectors)
AEM Cold Air Intake
AEM High Volume Fuel Rail
AEM Tru Power Pulley's
AEM Tru Time Cam Sprocket

DC Sprts 4-2-1 Race Headers

Greddy EVO2 Catback Exhaust

Apexi V-AFCII

ACT Clutch, Flywheel, Pressure plate (suggestions?)

Wheels - Enkei RS6 Silver 16x7 4x100
Tire - Nitto NT NeoGen VT 205/40R-16

Also need some good Struts, Camber , Arm Bar yada yada yada

I don't care if I am wasting money or not here.
I am NOT going to do a swap.. I don't want to.

I don't see turbo coming for at least 2 years.
I can do engine work now. If I can get 40hp out of it, I'll be happy.

Keep in mind, I am not going to be tuning the engine sitting in my car now, I will have one in a shop tinkering on it while I complete all other aspects of this build. Whell Tire / Suspension First!

Like I care, but if I go through with this..
Will I be the laughing stock on the forums?

Please advise.

well, I think the only thing missing on your list is a randomtech high flow cat. and if youre interested, UR crank pulley (but not advised).

parr`sh · 06-20-2005, 11:03 PM

why wouldn't you advise unorthodox racing crank pulley?

this is probably going to take 1-2 years to do huh?
Seeing how I am going to be learning alot as I go...

Wheels tires suspension - Im on it.
Bolt on's - Not a problem - just a matter of planning and budgeting

Building another D17 to my liking to replace current motor..I got help but it'll be here and there...this will take a year or so tinkering wouldn't you think? besides, seeing how new this platform is... alot of products may come out by the time i need to buy my extra's for the engine build.

It's kinda hard for people to understand just having a solid plan doesn't mean it's going to be like a MTV pimp my ride build.. hah...

CuRiOuSfIsH · 06-21-2005, 07:20 PM

as youre learning, it's a good idea to go step by step and not put in everything at once so you can learn what part does what.
The crank pulley gives problems b/c of harmonic dampener.... but it's still not 100% certain. Not many ppl get it for the 7thgen as far as I am aware of. Some folks do have it on and have no problems.

siccvic · 06-22-2005, 03:33 AM

wow thats alot. what are you hoping for as for as whp. what do you want to run in a 1/4 mile. all that money you are going to spend you should do a swap. but if your doing it to see what the d17 could do since you dont see to many good luck w/ the project. sounds fun and expensive.

roirraWlerriuqS · 06-22-2005, 07:51 PM

i like your list dude i have a D17A2 and im trying to get more power out of mine

expierence97 · 06-25-2005, 11:25 PM

IMO pay to have it tuned with something better than a vafc. Also don't cheap out on the header, at least get something better than DC sports. Other than that, good luck.

get a nice header and a nice tuning program and you should be good to go.

get an intake and it will be louder. I didnt know you could even hear the crossover in those motors.

Intake, header, exhaust, they will add decent gains and make noise if that's what you are looking for.
