Why do you want to do that? It's a D17A1... what is this suppose to accomplish?



And no, I do not believe that there is a way to do that to a D17A1 without using a piggyback unit such as AEM EMS.

D17A1... it's your engine. (a horrible engine as far as modding goes).

If I lied and said it was good for modding would that make you feel better?

you must not get the point. believe it or not, not everyone wants to be put down when they ask a simple question. he didnt ask "hey is my engine the greatest out there?" there is no reason to add your juvenile remarks. now stfu or gtfo.
