swap or build
I have an 05 dx, with the d17a1, cold air, headers, catback, underdrive pulleys, and it sits with it's sohc pushing 144 whp (approx, havent checked in a long time). sadly I was told thats probably the limits of the little d17a1, which I dont want to believe, I've seen much worse go way farther
now in the end, I want to push between 300-400 whp, can you headswap and build up the d17a1 that far? and if so, how? or am I better off going for a full engine swap, and if so, which engine would go in easiest?
all advice happily appreciated

+1 Macbeth... The most we got out of my buddies d17 with "all motor" was MAYBE 180 and that was pushing it IMO (it did that number ONCE is why i say pushing it lol).... as soon as we slapped a new cam, and turbo on that beautifully flowing head and such, she finally hit the mark for sure

what all would I need to do? I've a friend with a pair of small turbos he's offering to sell for cheap, their from a '91 3000gt, but I've never turbo'd anything before so I'd need to know what do to turbo it, and if I'd be better off with a new t3/t4 hybrid with the ball bearing upgrade?
ingredients list?

It would basically be an engine rebuild so you can strengthen internal components such as pistons, rods, and fuel system to handle the increased power/heat that a turbo engine produces. I'm sure you can find more info on it by doing a search on the web. GL
