JDM Honda D17A Performance Engine

Used 01 – 05 D17A Performance Engine For Sale

The Honda D17A engine is a hidden gem that can transform your stock Civic into a street machine. It’s a highly sought-after 4-cylinder 1.7L engine known for its reliability, efficiency, and performance capabilities.

This 1.7-liter, 16-valve, DOHC VTEC powerplant may look small, but it packs a punch when optimized for performance. Now you can get your hands on a low-mileage JDM import D17A long block plus peripherals, straight from Japan, and build the honed Civic you’ve always dreamed of.

This D-series engine has powered multiple fan-favorite Honda models through the years. Though the stock factory D17A motor only sees about 130HP, this aluminum-alloy motor begs to be uncorked. With thoughtful mods to the intake, exhaust, camshaft, and tuning upgrades, you can reliably drive your D17A-powered Civic well above the 200 WHP mark. And that’s before you add the turbo! 🔥

Thanks to its resonance and amplifiable output, the VTEC D17A is a perennial favorite of import enthusiasts and JDM fans.

The D17A Engine Swap Features;

• Complete head and block
• Starter
• Intake manifold
• Exhaust manifold
• Alternator
• Fuel rail
• Power steering pump
• Coil Packs (Spark plugs)

This DOHC motor delivers instantly accessible low-down torque, perfect for momentum driving. Combining the D17A’s gutsy low-RPM power with a high-flowing intake and throttle body allows your Civic to feel faster off the line. Then the VTEC kicks in, and the variable cam timing takes over to extend your powerband through the roof. Nothing beats that feeling… 💥

This JDM import motor factors in thousands of dollars in savings over a new crate motor. With just 53,000 miles, this D17A still has plenty of life to give. The long block comes decked and honed, with all its stock peripherals, or you could take it apart and build it up from scratch—the canvas is yours!
