Default Help squeezing power from the D17 motor.....

I know people are going to say "go nitrous or go turbo." I don't really want to go with nitrous and I can't afford a turbo right now. I have basic bolt ons right now and there was almost no gain what so ever. From what I am hearing this is one of the most complicated engines to squeeze power from so any help from you guys will be appreciated. Thanks.

save your money and put a b-series motor into the car.

Can't because nobody makes motor mounts for the B series and my car yet. Also if I can't afford a turbo right now, what makes you think that I can afford a motor?

what i'm saying is the small gains you'll see with the bolt-on's are not worth the money spent.

save your money and put a b-series into it...and when you have 3500 to spend on a swap hasport will have mounts...and make your own if you really have to.

i'm willing to bet the mounts are nearly identical...with the rear mount/bracket being the only one that needs to be modified.

while i could be wrong...honda will usually go with the cheapest and proven mounting positions of prior civic/d-series setups...

at most, i'd suggest a 50 shot of nitrous...stock everything else.

then you can sell the kit to some ricer when you have enough money for the motor i already suggested you buy.
