Default Have you seen Honda's first factory Turbo

I was online today and notice a new mini suv Acura RDX
its a K-series
2.3liter Turbocharged 2.3-liter 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder
Compression Ratio 8.8:1
Horsepower (SAE net)* 240 @ 6000 rpm
Torque 260 lbs-ft @ 4500 rpm
Redline 6800 rpm

Imagine this with turbo Kseries skunk2 cams springs and tuned and on a EG
Cant wait to find one online

I also like the turbo on it, it has a valve to adjust flow at low RPM no more boost lag
watch the demo on

Its the first US market turbo Honda automobile, which is what I think he was talking about. Don't forget, they had the turbo water craft in 2002 or so.

The mounts for the engine are different from the other K-series engines though aren't they? So it'll take yet another new mount kit to get this in an EG/EK style car. But, we shall see. It's got some serious sleeves in doesn't it? I don't think it's the stardard aluminum or whatever.

Gaging by your reply to the pic of the city turbo it looks like you had no idea the car existed.
