like the topic says. would anyone here rock a d17y7? i have the opprotunity to pick one up for dirt cheap. i dont know much about them or have really heard anything about them. i guess its out of the newer hondas(2000+). is there any drawbacks to using this engine? and would it be fairly simple to just swap a d16a6/z6 head onto it with boost? help me out a bit ladies. i can either get the whole engine or just the block. any quick and knowledgeable responses would be great.

my bad its actually a d17y7. is it still any good? is it worth the time to actaully get it and swap it into my hatch since its like .2 liters bigger?

i think you mean d16y7, and if its a good deal why not use it. you can always swap the IM for a regular one from a z6 or y8 right?

is a d16y7 with d17 internals. stay the ---- away from it for "cheap"

there was never a d17y7 made

ok even if. it is actually a complete d16y7 and he just made a mistake in the sale ad should i still get it imma ask for some pics to make sure of what it is anyways. he never got it running so he pulled it out in favor of a B series swap. if its actaully a d16y7 pic it up?

sounds like he's' trying to get rid of a headache buy selling it. probly not worth it

78NOVA

and? one mans headache is another mans powerplant!? dont see why it wouldnt be worth it. he says the harness is chew'd up and thats one reason why he never got it running.

If you don't know that there was never a D17Y7 and that there was a D16Y7 then I wouldn't suggest you turbo anything or attempt any swaps. Eg. Engine building.

Do some research on the engine. The Y series have a weak oilling system.
