youre in a bad spot if you want go fast goodies and getting a 2k1, asher
there are very little performance mods at all for the d17...plus the pistons are like "_" that big, the intake manifold is plastic and designed to save space, etc. Its a shitty engine for speed imho
Looks kinda like the y8 was the last good d16......

Yeah, the y8 manifold will go on w/o too much trouble...just be sure to get the 96-98 one because the 99-00 are different. You could also do a head swap and slap the y8 head on you y7...that'd give you vtec, more compression, and a better flowing head overall (another person just did that on this board).
Are you interested in keeping the D16 and building it up, or are you interested in swapping it out for a Bseries...or an H22 and get involved in about a sh*t and a half load of work?
