Anyone know details of the RDX turbo motor coming out in other models?

 

I heard a rumor in one of the magazines that when the RSX is discontinued this year...the TSX is going to be offered in a coupe model with the RDX motor...most likely won't happen though.

 

As of now no and the rsx has been discontinued.

You dont want that motor. Theres no exhaust manifold, its casted into the head like the new civic R18 SOHC engines.

 

There still is a manifold, its just basically one big port once it leaves the engine though

Im sure there will be some crazy manifold designs incorporated with that, and obviously some MAJOR head porting

''No manifold'' You cant make no crazy manifold.

 

Mass production starts tomorrow. So should be at the dealrships soon, then you can decide if there's any way to come up with a manifold.

The solution is already made its called a k20a 2-3 cylinder head.

 

what turbo ?

 

Honda has a specially made turbo just for it.

 

hope this engines come with goodies to help boost k serie motors meaby with a good computer or a map sensor that would allow to read boost to the ecu

I'm thinking this motor is going to be even worse then the k-series as far as being impossible to modify without some extremely expensive aftermarket engine management. The article that Sport Compact Car has on the RDX is pretty interesting...

 

Are any of you guys thinking?

You dont need a RDX motor theres 3 other cars that have a k-series motor the turbo isnt worth it.

Beside you know how hard its gonna be to get one.
