d17 = bad for boost (or anything really)

and average compression is fine for average levels of boost

Boosting an lx will be a horrible and expensive thing to do... you cant just strap one on and drive it... there are turbo kits for the ex but it isnt worth it. all the components needed to support the turbo will cost so much you'd be better off going n/a with a k20 block from a rsx-s

Not really, d17's are actually pretty decent with boost. Just depends on the build and the tune.

The turbo kits work for the lx/dx and ex, all you need is a downpipe to convertthe lx/dxto an ex exhaust. Then relocate the o2 sensor.

Exactly.

Someone should start a thread and give specific reasons why the D17 is bad to boost.... and good to boost in your opinion Bel.

Oh god let's not start that again! Lol.

Starting now.

I never said good. It's just not as horrible as everyone seems to think. Lol

i didn't mean horrible either, it's just the design of the motor isn't as well set up as it's counterparts such as some of the d16's and b motors (of course)

I would like to see Belmont's defense of the D17. Yes, you can find examples of D17s being boosted to 300+whp, but how long did they last? Not as long as older Ds. Science is inescapable.
