Default K23 turbo, by honda??? WTF?

Yeah I just read some ****, that acura got a RDX coming out, or already came out. Well the thing about this RDX it got a 2.3L (I think it's called k23) with variable geometry turbo (sick). I would like to see some shots of that engine bay, and what crazy **** you could do with that motor in a hatch (if it could go in)....


HONDA FACTORY TURBO, sounds fun.......... Let me know what you guys think, and what info you already got.

I wonder how big of the monster that engine can be, and how much boost can it take.

Change the IM, reroute the intercooler pipes, and it would actually look like a normal k series. Maybe in few years...

oh man. K series godness. they moved the oil cap to a different side lol.

Yeah just get a k20a matifold with TB, and run a front mount set up, instead of top mount, with an accord 5spd tranny. And hope that thing takes alot of boost.

I wonna get my hands on one of those, stick that **** in the hatch. 10s on stock internals would be fucken sick.
