From 2000 to 2007, the company produced the 1.7-liter Honda D17A gasoline engine, which was fitted on popular Japanese models like the Civic, FR-V, and Stream minivan. There are two categories of D17A power units: those with a VTEC system and those without.
Internal combustion engines (D13B, D14A, D15B, and D16A) are also part of the D-series.
The engine was mounted on:
- Acura EL 2 (ES) in 2001 – 2005;
- Honda Civic 7 (ES) in 2000 – 2005;
- Honda FR-V 1 (BE) in 2004 – 2007;
- Honda Stream 1 (RN) in 2000 – 2006.

Disadvantages of the Honda D17A engine
Although this engine is dependable, it may begin to use oil after 150,000 kilometers.
Poor start-up in cold weather is another annoying aspect of the device.
Floating rpm is frequently caused by contamination of the throttle body.
The valve frequently bends when the timing belt breaks, which lasts for roughly 100,000 kilometers.
There are no hydraulic compensators, and thermal valve clearances are changed every 40,000 kilometers.
The largest engine in the D series was the D17A, which debuted in 2000. This engine weighs 8% less than the D16 despite having a larger displacement. Although the D17 cylinder block is reinforced, its height of 212 mm is the same as that of the D16. The block contains a crankshaft with a 94.4 mm piston stroke, new pistons with a 30 mm compression height, and connecting rods that are 137 mm long. The working volume rose to 1.7 liters as a result of all of this.
A single-shaft SOHC cylinder head with 16 valves, modified intake ports, and modified combustion chambers sits atop the cylinder block.
Additionally, a new plastic intake manifold designed for medium speeds was installed. To enhance environmental performance, the D17A has a new exhaust manifold and a new catalyst.
The timing belt drive has a narrower belt than the D16A. After 100,000 kilometers, the timing belt D17A needs to be replaced. Sometimes everything ends normally, but when it breaks, the motor bends the valve.
Every forty thousand kilometers, the D17A’s valve needs to be adjusted. Cold valve clearances are 0.18–0.22 mm at the inlet and 0.23–0.27 mm at the outlet.
