Pirate Garage thank you honestly so much you don’t understand how hard it is to find a d17 video because their not really appreciated in the Honda tuning world even finding a 7th gen civic is hard enough
@@gsjourney3054 not hard and hard a the same time my mechanic got me a d17 and he had to drive all the way to sacramento from where i am i think like 200 miles 🤷🏻♂️
My EM2 has 215k miles (over 100k on the replaced D17) and is going through oil like crazy! I am literally adding roughly 2 qts between fill ups lol 😂. I'll be doing this exact same refresh myself, thank you brotha for posting this!
Mines the opposite it has gas getting into the oil I think the rings are bad because I swear it’s half gas and half oil at this moment I need to rebuild it I’ve got 240k on mine 😑
You didn't have to take all that off for the rod bolts, you just had to take the oil pan off. Did my rod bolts in the spring and I was able to slide them out and back in from below. You just have to do 1 at a time. Although doing the other stuff you did isn't a bad idea while making the rod bolts easier, I wasn't bothered with only being at 59,000 miles. Keep up the videos, love the series. Big fan so far!
@@PirateGarage I am aware, I was saying that in hopes someone else looking at doing rod bolts will see that and realize the whole things doesn't have to come out if they just want to do the bolts.
Hey Red, just wanted to say thanks for this video. My head gasket went out last week. I can’t afford to take it to the mechanic, so I’m gonna do it myself. I think your videos are detailed enough for me to be able to figure it out.
i have a d17a1 with 320k miles. its finally to a point where its burning oil pretty bad. trying to get some research in on how to do a rebuild. ill probably pull the engine out and send it to get machined but everything looks doable
I'm not much of an expert when it comes to D series engines, but does ARP make main bolts or studs for the D series? I rebuilt my JDM D15B VTEC before I boosted it and that car ALWAYS ran great, even with an eBay turbo kit. I ran that thing on 8 psi to 9k between shifts on a bone stock valvetrain and all it did was take it. Yeah it was alot of fun for $500 and some know how. Then when I was tired of having no low end torque, I swapped in a junkyard LS, rebuilt it with new rings, bearings, Gates Racing belt, new water pump, ported and shimmed oil pump, supporting mods like ARP head studs, rod studs, Cometic HG, and swapped the turbo kit over with a new manifold and on 8 psi it would smoke slightly modified SRT4s in my EJ8 coupe. Now she's a fully built LSVTEC and there's no eBay parts on it. Made 588 with a stock CTR head on 22 psi on a GT3582R. Going Thursday for a retune on the new setup, same engine.
How you do the ECU and electronics?? I have the means to redo my D17A2 with aftermarket rods and forged pistons and the knowledge but the 'GIZMOS' of turbo-ing a 2002 EX is maybe beyond me I'm 60 years old. And I'm tired of only 127 HP capiche ??!! LOL
Big fan of the channel man! I was wondering what you gapped the rings to, to allow for the higher heat from the coming turbo and stuff cause I’m doing something similar on my car. Keep on kicking ass!
You multiply the diameter in inches by 0.05 on the top ring and 0.0055 on the second, the rings were 0.0015 and 0.0016 out of the box so I didn't have to mess with them
What could make my excellent running D17 (2002 EX) have a bit of a knock from the head area only at certain RPM. I never hear it in 5th if I drive 62 mph or under or 74 and over. Between 62 mph and 74 mph with engine warm there can frequently be a bit of a knock it sounds like. Or could it be the VTEC? VTEC does work in my car and the car runs excellent otherwise with no codes 37 mpg. Knock sensor ??
hey red, I don't expect a reply. However i wanna ask you if you have any idea if the d17a1 rods and the d17a2 rods share the same rod bolt size. Because i wanna put those arp rod bolts in my es2 but i'm unsure if they'll fit and i can't seem to find any info on rod bolt hole sizes.
Hi Guys, Thank you for the great video. my D17 recently start a big misfire & found Number 4 spark plug keep bending by hitting something. timing is correct. haven't done anything, this happen suddenly while driving. any idea what causing this?
You guys are inspirations! Thank you for repping 7th gen
I love my civic I will always mod them

This channel is incredible! Man keep it up, love the backyard mechanic approach!
Look at those nice dished pistons, almost like the D17 was made for boost...
NOBODY:
RED from Pirate Garage: Rebuilds D17 in 19 minutes
Took more like 3 hours but thanks

The pistons rings were changed also

where can I find the kin racing metals or send me the link grace
Thanks Red you have given me some motivation for my d17!
Sweet Gingerbread Jesus! This guy gets it done so quick
You are keeping it real!

You work way to fast for my liking but you are the only one that has a em2 to learn from
When you have a routine down it goes quick, plus the videos are edited
Well yea never thought about it like that im a eg guy so i can do something very quickly on those im just getting into the em2s
At some point red must've taken our boy Tim out to pasture for kicking his tools and replaced him with mustache man Nelson

Cant wait to see that spoolie boi
Thanks for this video, I'm planning to do the same job on my Acura EL that has the same D17A2 engine
Looking forward to when the turbocharger gets put in. Keep up to good work!
That's next week
I'm glad that the old bearings are good.
These motors are well known for rod knock😁
You got some good knowledge but damn slow down a little bit,got parts,and nuts and bolts flying everywhere..
I hope with out new rod bearings, mains, oil pump and pick up screen she holds together guys.
This motor only needs to last a couple months, and the bearings all looked great

Wahoo!
Super

Damn I’m trynna turbo mine but fuck it needs rebuilt I got some bad rings I’ve been dealing with gas getting in my oil

Hello I have a sound on my transmission can I put another model transmission in this em2
Yeah boy
Hi Guys, Thank you for the great video. my D17 recently start a big misfire & found Number 4 spark plug keep bending by hitting something. timing is correct. haven't done anything, this happen suddenly while driving. any idea what causing this?
I have a 2001 Honda Civic lx coupe I think the same engine can I have any help how to make it faster ,any tip only have a short ram air intake
Any bolt one will help
are you using the same d17 pistons??
Are you planning on a dyno run once done? Really interested in what kind of numbers you manage. I'm on my 2nd em2, this one I've k-swapped.
It will need a tune so ya
@@PirateGarage what's your opinion on the block gaurds
Doesn't do anything, and they can work the cylinder when installed
@@PirateGarageI'm installing a freshly rebuilt D17A2 into mine. Should I go catless down pipe or new cat??
Hey red I was wondering if I could purchase one of your awd diff brackets? I’m looking for your info to contact you directly. Please let me know ASAP!
How did you get the intake off before you started? Just a DIY-er over here trying to learn.
It's easier just to leave it on while you take it out
what inatake is on there so the inlet is on the left?
d16y8 intake retrofitted for the d17
But it dont tho right?
Bro please vídeo for rsx cluster install in em2
I don't plan to do that mod on this car
Yes
I’m doing piston rings on a 03 civic what orientation did you use for the rings ? How did you clock them ?
Most important is they don't line up
Sounds good , thank you. And great videos!
How much psi can handle with stock sleeves ? Should i go darton?
Stock sleeves are good for some power but if you want to go big I would sleeve it, for k I say go sleeves over 500
nice video, but watching someone use an impact to START the threads on a sparkplug made me cringe! yikes
builds an engine in 15 minutes......
What Radiator is in that civic ?
The red one!
