Turbo Kit for Honda Civic D17 (2001-2005) 1.7L

Complete intercooled T3/T4 turbo package for the 2001–2005 Honda Civic with the D17 1.7L SOHC four (LX / EX / VP and related trims). It pairs a cast T3 manifold with a hybrid T3/T4 turbo, 35mm external wastegate with positioning adapter and dump tube, stainless downpipe, front-mount intercooler, boost controller, blow-off valve, turbo timer and fuel-system parts in one box. Most installs keep A/C and power steering, and it works with manual or automatic transmissions. Expect about 50–100 hp over stock at a conservative 8 psi with a proper tune. The 485+ hp figure is the hardware's ceiling at 25+ psi with a built engine, fueling and supporting mods, not a dyno result for a stock car.

Exact Fitment — Honda

• 2001–2005 Civic (EM2 / ES1 and related) LX / EX / VP with D17 1.7L SOHC
• D17 / D16V1-family SOHC only
• Not for 1990s D15 / D16 D-Series (separate kit), Civic Si K20, or B-Series / K-Series swaps
• Not for Hybrid or later 1.8 R18 Civics
• Intercooler piping is universal and needs cutting and fitting per chassis

Not Included

• Exhaust beyond the downpipe
• Larger injectors, fuel pump and ECU tune (required)
• Clutch upgrade, boost gauge and wideband
• Oil-pan return bung if your setup needs one

Installation Notes

• Professional installation strongly recommended. Expect cutting and fitting of the universal piping and test-fitting the downpipe
• The manifold is street cast, not equal-length tubular: stronger and more affordable, with a different spool character
• Oil return must drain by gravity; prime the turbo with oil before first start and check for leaks
• Blow-off valve flanges are installed at your discretion
• Keep boost at about 8 psi until fuel and tune are upgraded, and let the turbo timer handle cool-down

FAQs

Does this fit a 1990s Civic D15/D16 or a Civic Si K20? No. Those are separate kits. This one is for 2001–2005 Civic D17 SOHC only.

How much power will it make? About 50–100 hp over stock at 8 psi on a healthy stock engine with a proper tune. 485+ hp is the hardware ceiling with a built engine and full supporting mods.

Can I keep A/C and power steering? Most installs keep both; confirm clearance during mock-up.

Manual or automatic? Fits either when the engine matches.

Is it plug-and-play? No. You still need injectors, a fuel pump, an ECU tune and some pipe fitting.
