as the title states can you put a vtec head on it and if so which one? Q is for a friend he wants more power without swapping, i told him to make a custom turbo kit but idk.

 

the d17a2 already has VTEC, so yes, you can put another VTEC head on there

 

hmm well he has a d17 and its not vtec....so maybe it isnt a d17a2

 

d17 lx/dx can get the ex head. need a head and a vafcII to control vtechy0

 

he is not going to get much power from just swapping the head.
I agree with you boost that biotch

 

dezod .com for the best 7th gen turbo kit

 

"swapping head wont show gains"-djmota
not right away but it opens so many doors to parts.

I have d17a2 em2 and was gonna turbo but dezods kit doesn't come with intake or filter.(recomends wire mesh in turbine housing)This didn't sit to well with me so come spring I m gonna do a type s swap. THen If Im not satisified then I can get a turbo kit with intake and filter( alot of room in bay with the k20a2 swap) I know a couple of people with them and they just luv em.

not as much room as you think trust me i know

 

this is my car RudeLude is talking about and I thought about boost but i really want a K20 swap but i just was wondering if a Vtec head would add power but note it's a D17A1...thanks

 

well everyone says youll gain the extra 12 hp that the vtec motors have over ours. but i believe that is 12hp from the difference in compression ratios and not the vtec-e

 

head, compression, vtec and the better flowing exhaust. so by switching the head and the ex exhaust, I would venture to believe you could gain 6 - 8 hp.

 

could be, i dont know for sure though ^
but yea probably see those gains of at leat 5hp
