I had a website I could go to and find everything out about a engine and that car all honda and acura stuff, cant find it no more though. Anyway, my friend bought a 02 civic DX 2 door. It is slow as crap, and has a D17, He swears he is fast, I think its cause it has a muffler and intake, not to forget dragon logo seat covers from wal-mart. So what kinda power we lookin at and is it vtec, I saw a vtec sensor but dont really hear it kick in for crap.

 

He's puttin' down a whopping 115 hp and 110 lb/ft...

 

just get a y8 head it'll give you more power gain[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

not on a d17. its not compatable. the computer would freak out. the d17 has a DIS, and the Y8 doesnt, so i doubt it would be the bolt-on affair the Y8-Y7 swap is. and its his buddies anyway, he has a Y8. (look at the sig)

 

oops my bad like i said before newbie so anyways you serious?? i never thought that it doesnt matter cause my engine has the y8 head but im not using a ecu for the v-tec im using the adjustable tach to set the rpms when ever i want v-tec to kick in you know

 

correction i thought it doesnt matter what motor it is as long as its a d-series motor that you can put the mini me swap on it

 

no, the new d series isnt as compatible as the rest. ill go check the head gasket patterns when i get a chance, but that is one minor detail of the swap.

 

iight thanks im pretty sure that the head well fit on the y7 but if you can check it out ima do my research to

 

he thought when he read d17 it ment d16y7...that was the confusion...he asked me to correct it because he is at work..later

 

oh ok. makes more sense now. but yeah, im pretty sure the 01+ stuff doesnt work in case anyone was wondering. but ill try to find out if the actual swap is possible, let alone getting it to run.
