Honda D17A1 specs: 1.7L (101.8 ci) 4-cylinder, 75 x 94.4 mm (2.9528 x 3.7165 in) bore and stroke, 9.5:1 compression. Rated 115 hp, 2001–2005.
The Honda D17A1 is undersquare — the 3.7165" stroke exceeds the 2.9528" bore by 20.5% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.7165" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,450 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 25.5 ci (417 cc).
9.5:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 29 engines in the D-series family, the largest at 101.8 ci. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 115 hp across 2001–2005.
