In the summer I was at a car show and saw a civic, RHD, VTEC, all from Japan with a turbo. Therre was a badge that said factory turbo 1 of x, I forgot. Is this bullsh*t or did honda make a few turbo concepts and not mass produce them. Anyone have any info?

avividmemory

im sure they have a few test cars out there like that...they would bank if they started making a turbo ready motor or something along those lines

There have been a few production oEM turbo motors from honda already. Theres a jetski, and a motorcylce, and a subcompact car that never made it to the US market also. Maybe more.

honda uses IHI brand turbos

honda needs to start going turbo... they're getting blown away by carmakers like dodge and mazda all coming out with faster, better performing turbo cars. What does Honda make to compete with the 5.9 sec 0-60 neon srt? the new civic si, boooooooo.

honda has never had fast straight line power cars.

Im sure the S2000 would compete....but thats kinda a differnt strory...

vtecvoodoo

honda "city" was turbo`d.

Yea they need something under 20g's to compete. New Si is weak. 9.8 compression????? Way too low for an all motor and way to heavy.

ah...honda straight up sucks now. Only thing they have going for them(in America at least) is the S2000.

I would like a 7th gen civic as a commuter though.

Actually, I had heard rumors of a Honda Legend with a 2.0 turbo. I know nothing of the output or anything like that. Redshift racing out of Canada had the motors back in the day...

There is currently the Honda Dunk, which is a small MPV with a 3 cylinder turbocharged engine (I think) - i've seen one being driven around here.. it was featured in a local car magazine, fully Mugenized

I have also seen at the second-hand turbo shops, turbos with "Honda Wing Turbo" stamped on them.. don't know what car they came from, but they're about the same size as a Mitsubishi TD04H turbo, from a VR4..

I'd like to get my hands on the ecu from a honda city turbo... now that would be fun to toy around with.

The Aquatrax f12x is a turbocharged, 1235cc 4 stroke, 4 cylinder, 162hp, 525lb, smooth as silk, quiet, water ROCKET, with no lag, and guaranteed to have you grinning from ear to ear, when you feal the instantaniuos tourqe and speed when you stab the throttle and hold it there as your catapulted to just under 65mph in what seams to be about two seconds! These boats are tight!

I need to get a honda turbo jet ski to pull behind my turbo civic.

There is a place my friends go to, when the get stuff for their cars. They specialize in bringing half cuts in from japan, along with mist. stuff. Name of the company is Jarco Industries. Mostly Nissan and Toyta stuff, it sucks to go up there and see an r34 that has been cut in half. But anyway they have a factory honda turbo motor sitting in their warehouse, I believe it is called a C20T or something like that. But I've seen it and the turbo is HONDA, and it is about the size of a td04.

sounds perfect for a car known to go 200k miles with minimal maintenance.


Legends cane with optional 3.2Liter type II motors with 240+hp i dont think a turbo legend ever came to the US. and i'd be suprised if they ever had a tubo legend. 2.0L is BIG in the eyes of a Honda engineer, let alone 3.2L

JalopySiR

Well, of course not in the U.S. you big silly. But, I have seen the motors for sale, and so has the guy prior to your post. Also, the "C" series is the "legend/vigor/TL/CL" engine... Would be interesting to learn more about this...well maybe not...

hmm, pretty neat design

Honda has a car called the City that came factory with a turbo, only available in JDM land ofcourse. I think that Katman from FFsquade has/had one.

swrdply400mrelay

Yea that is completely true and Honda is **** about being reliable. I just can't help but think that they watered down the Si so it wouldn't compete that much with the RSX Type-S. The problem now is that the Si doesn't/can't really compete with any other sport compacts.
