Mod vs. Swap
 

Need some help:

Debating on issue of doing an engine swap or moding. Have D17A1, looking at following mods:
CAI
Header
Exhaulst
Intake Manifold
Stage 1 Cams
TB
VTEC Conversion
Hondata
Cam Gear
Turbo
Fuel Rail and Regulator
Injectors

Or doing a swap. Looking at K24 or K20 swap

Any help please would be great. Thanks

RE: Mod vs. Swap
 

None of these exists for your specific engine, nor do they exist for the D17A2.

These are contradictory, if you are getting a turbo don't waste your money on a header you are going to have to remove anyway.

Do the swap.

Swap with a k20 and then you can apply that list to it.

Ok, my goal is 300hp so I know that I'll have to do a swap. Should I get the K24 and swap in an A@ head or just get the K20 type R engine and call it a day? Also if I swap engines, where will I be able to get things like I/H/E/manifold to upgrade? What I want to do is be able to mess with a couple 350's and G35's and be able to so my bubby with a 300C (hemi) what imports can do. Thanks for the help guys.

I understand that currently not all the parts on my list exist, but I can't do all those things at one time. Would work through the list as I could and when part are available and do the turbo last; if I went that way, but I don't think that I would be able to get 300 out of a D17A

RE: Mod vs. Swap
 

I bet you could if the parts exist. If you do a serious turbo set up and reinforce the internals on a D series you can get three hundred horse.

With a turbo and maybe a lil N2O you could pull 300 easily with fully built engine, i.e. full top end and full bottom end.
