I wana get the most out of the coupe before i turbo it and was thinking bout getting a intake manifold and down pipe. Also im thinking of upgrading the cam, n e ideas?

Another great site to check out for help is www.d-series.org

Ok upgrading your intake manifold is a great idea...also look into upgrading your internals as well! You should probably wait on the downpipe until you get your turbo setup!

What turbo/kit were you thinking of getting?

[Glitch]

I was thinking of going for a GReddy kit, are they n e good? Yeah i 4got the down pipe would have to be changed when the turbo goes on. Do you know n e good makes of intake parts and i want to upgrade the cam aswell to a stage 1.

Greddy kits are good for beginners especially! Edlebrock and Skunk2 make good intake manifolds...as far as "intake parts" go...when you get the kit I believe it comes with all the charge pipes etc so you won't have to worry about that! So if you don't already have an intake don't waste your money on it if you're going to boost her soon!

Ok so you recomend i dont change the intake manifold or the downpipe, so what do you think about upgrading the cam?

No I said upgrade the intake manifold...just not the intake...do you understand the difference between the two?

If you're boosting then upgrading your internals is definately a good idea!

[Glitch]

Oh sorry i miss read ur last post, my bad. You mean change the intake manifold but not the throttle body (intake). Yeah well im looking into a skunk2 intake manifold and a stage 1 skunk2 cam. Will the cars standard ECU be alright as it is with a stage 1 cam or will i need to get it re-mapped?

[EJ1 Freak]

You can upgrade your tb also....just don't worry about the intake! :)

How many miles are on your motor?

[Glitch]

Yeah got ya, its done 40k

there's a guy on FYCracing.com that has a turbo d17, his name is like 02fpcivic or something, he might be able to help you out.

[Glitch]

Thanks mate ill check it out.

[skater4145]

i believe it was honda tuning that just did a write up on turboing the d17. might wanna pick up a copy of that, great info there.

[Glitch]

Is Honda Tuning a magazine? as we dont get thet over here in the UK.

[Volume 8]

yup, it's a magazine. you guys may not get it, but you can check it out at www.hondatuningmagazine.com, lots of good articles and nice cars.

[skater4145]

also if i remember right, turboing the d17 is a huge pain ibecause it has no fuel return. so you cant adjust fuel pressure without piggybacking the ecu and adding extra injectors. add that to the fact that the d17 is the only engine in the d-series family that doesnt have the ability to swap heads with other motors, and that it has no spark plugs or distributer means that the d17 is a bit harder to get reliable hp out of than other d-series motors.

definately check out 7thgencivic.com that site has tons of great info
