when are we going to see a stock car from acura with a turbo? Acura needs to step it up in the speed department to keep up with the srt4 and wrx. Love my typeS but turbo would be nice

 

In about half a year, look up 'RDX' K23a 250 hp 260 lb/ft. trq

 

isnt that an suv

Wrecked RDX+K23A1+EM2 or FG= BADASS!!!!

260 hp to START??? Intake, exhaust, injectors, and a reflash, youll see over 320 easy.

 

Mount points are not the same as other K-series. It will probably not fit into anything but a RDX without crazy mods.

 

They also said that a turb'd & FMIC K24 wouldnt fit in my EM2, but ive seen them.

Anything can be done. Hasport has pull some stuff out of their *** before. This wont be any different, plus the demand on this motor I believe will be astronomical, seeing as its Honda's first factory turbo engine.

Yeah, I already know, thats why I said, "ive seen them" Reffering to a k24 turbo'd EM2.

 

actually the first turbo honda was the honda city turbo.

True, didnt think about that one. Ive got one on GT4. pretty quick little car.

But lets say this, first MODERN swappable Honda factory turbo.

Good lookin out though.

alright man.. just trying to help...

 

i think a cast iron oem turbo manifold and other parts would be nice if they fit other k-series. depends on engine orientation and a few other things.

 

The word on the street is the tsx in '08 will be using the same k23 with turbo as the rdx.

they are waiting to see how the motor works out in the rdx first.

that is the word on the street, in Torrance, CA that is..
