any turbo d17's out there?
 

I just bought a 02 civic lx sport and it has the 1.7 sohc non-v-tec mill in it and ---- is it gay. My wifes old car was a teggy but we needed a 4dr. I do like the car for family ---- but its slow as ---- on the hills even if you run the ---- out of it. I really need to swap it out or maybe 5 psi, I dont need a race car but dam :-[ Any one had any luck with a hmt kit?

C'mon now Chad....not every car can be a project car ;) I actually just read an article in one of the tuner rags that talked about a turbo d17, just cannot remember which one it was :-\

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

I dont want it to be a project but goddam I have a image to uphold 8)

Hey Dan, we have a guy that comes into our shop...he has an 03 EX, he is looking at going K series. He is currently looking for a deal on a motor, so he will prolly have one up for sale some time this summer. Oh and by the way....that guy wanted $200 for that damn auto trans :o ::)

Sorry, back to highroller's wimpy d17 thread ;)

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

what do the little hatch backs come with for a mill? k20? I think there the 01+ si but we call them sir's

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

those are k20a3=wack. but better than your current setup. i think the guy with the turbo d17's name on here is like speedracer32 or something like that ???

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

I know I can get a snail on it and intercooler like ---- all buut the returnless fuel system and 4 coil packs scream tuning nightmare. I would love 140 hp from this bitch.

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

zc4me, when that time rolls around tell me. Might do a swap for my girlfriend.

highroller, is it auto? If so I heard the "dont hold past 4 psi"...

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

come on give me some credit :-\

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

whats wrong with the old ladys d17?

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

Well, I assumed it was yours wife car. Sorry :P

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

its not Vtack :P

I'm thinking maybe down the road, the way she drives.. heh

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

No no I ment your old ladys d17, this car is my wifes. I would never rock a 100hp 4dr but I dont think shes loving it either. She wanted a tsx but we decided on this till I get my eg all done and my superduty lifted. This is suposed to last us 2-3 years but It needs more jam

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

Just use a Greedy emanage and RSX type S injectors which are 330cc.Other than that some good ol flat rate fluxcore and JB action.The plastic manifold looks a little sketch but Im sure it will hold moderate pressure from a low boost small turbo setup.

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

I was kinda reading up on the emanage, whats the low down on that beast?

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

I know, thats waht I was talking about with zc4me talking about the vtec d17 that I could get from his customer lol :S I was just saying about grabbing yours as a spare... katie likes to drive hard. A lot. :l

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

The older one is a fancy SAFC but it does have a ignition harness available so you get some control and i guess you can dial a little timing out under boost.The new Emanage Ultimate actaully looks pretty solid but it is pricey.I see the Emanage blue's for sale all over the place for cheap.I have a local guy asking me about turboing his 03 Civic DX or whatever and i found a write up on wiring the emanage up as it seems like the best and easiest solution for a relatively low budget boost kit.If you surf the forum in that link there is alot of info about boosting one of those.I really doesnt seem very hard.

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

Well I guess its time for a ---- load of research/ reading again, I wonder if you can just use a safc, I dont think timing would be a problem at 5 psi :-\

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

vafc2 or safc2 work

Re: any turbo d17's out there?
 

id go with vafc2 and those type s 330's
