Default Confirmed. Acura to release Turbo RDX.

Just found out today that the new 2007 Acura RDX will come with a K23T engine using the same variable vain turbo on the 4G63 and SH-AWD. 240hp/260ftlbs. This is kinda old news, but i didnt see anything in the FI forum sooooo........

Oh and the bad news......It's a small suv similar to the CR-V, will use MAF, will have throttle-by-wire. So for all of you motor swap people, I'd start thinking of ways to convert it back a couple of OBD steps.

Here's a quick picture



Here at school the engine looks pretty much like a regular old k-series but im sure there has been some moderate internal work. Enjoy.

Edit: more info Honda News Article

OK. So it's only 1.5 hour old news. J/K I seriously did a search though just to make sure and nothing came up. My post is better anyway. I got pictures...links...pegs.....LUCKY!

Nice!

It's about damn time that Honda woke up and smelled the turbo.

But...

I think I will just turbo my 4.0L cherokee sport instead...

im hoping its that easy...240hp, 260tq, six speed tranny swap, turbo, stripped crx. sounds tempting.
