d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

i am very new in honda stuff and wanna buy a late 90s honda civic with the d16 in it. and i heard there is a d17 engine out there i would like to know what the difference is and if i could use the crank in the d16 for a little longer stroke(don't worry gunna turbo it after that) so if anyone can answer i'll be grateful

what the ---- is a d17?

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

The D17 comes on the new 01+ civics. I don't think anything is interchangeable

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

ok thank u i was just wonderin what it was and what is the diff

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

I would like to know this question myself... just not enough of them out their yet I guess...

I'm guessing its going to have different journal sizes.

i thought the new engines were K-series?

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

No, the civics with the single cam motors are still D's. Now they have DIS and all that other crap. However, don't the new D's spin the other way? I know the exhaust exits the head in the rear. I think they are reversed.

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

ya thats correct, they spin the othe way, so I would say no to the crank. firing order is probably different.

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

D17's still spin counter clockwise guys... ::) and exhaust is still of the front side of the head..

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

yeah jeff is right...
the d17 still looks like a d16, except its a bit more boxed... the oil pan is more squared and a bit larger. They have one on an auto stand at the auto recycler where I got my d16z6.
My guess'd be they are interchangable... only one way to find out!

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

ya but doesn't a z6 or y8 have more HP anyways?

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

Probably because the D17 is a ULEV now, lol

Highly doubt the cranks will fit, but its worth a shot, What would be neat, is if the head configs are the same, and the bell housing configs are the same, you could put that block in a crx, with like a D16y8 head... Nifty!

But I thin the alternator was relocated to the front... not sure?

ya but alt. could just be moved again w/ some welding and brackets. the hard partt would be finding the right belt.

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

lol, a belt would be easier to find then making brackets, ::)

Re:d17 crank in a d16 ?
 

jeff, did u just say 'NIFTY'?? WTF is that about? lol
