'02 EX tuning??

2002 EX (D17A2) I haven't been able to find a cam for this motor. They just don't make 'em I guess. However, can the ECU still be tuned to get more power? Or what about a Hondata or something?

Hondata no. AEM makes an EMS but expensive. Crower does make a D17 cam but not everyone carries it. Clicky

something like Greddy e-manage or e-manage ultimate is prolly your best bang for the buck for ECU tuning.

the only way to get significant power out the d17's is forced induction...And then youll def need a good tune then. AEM makes a stand alone EMS but bring your check book its expensive. no Hondata!!!!!

A turbo is not the only way to get power outta a D17, they aren't even turbo friendly. You can pick up a decent jump in power from bolt-ons, a cam and some ems.

The D17, you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig! just not enough aftermarket support, either. Anyway you look at it it will cost you!
